Texas Instruments MSP430AFE
MSP430AFE variants from Texas Instruments
MSP430AFE Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
MSP430AFE is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 8 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
12MHz 16-Bit MCU, 4KB Flash, 256B RAM, 1x 24-bit ADC, 2.2V, 24-TSSOP Other listed variants describe: 12MHz MCU, 2x 24-bit ADC, 4KB Flash, 256B RAM, 2.2V, 24-TSSOP; 12MHz MCU, 3x 24-bit ADC, 4KB Flash, 256B RAM, 24-Pin TSSOP.
Suffix examples in this family: 221IPWR, 222IPWR, 223IPWR, 231IPWR, 232IPWR, 233IPWR, 251IPWR, 252IPWR. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: MSP430AFE221IPWR, MSP430AFE222IPWR, MSP430AFE223IPWR, MSP430AFE231IPWR, MSP430AFE232IPWR, MSP430AFE233IPWR.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 8 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 221IPWR, 222IPWR, 223IPWR, 231IPWR, 232IPWR (+3 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on MSP430AFE map to package, grade, and reel options.
MSP430AFE uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 221IPWR, 222IPWR, 223IPWR, 231IPWR, 232IPWR, 233IPWR, 251IPWR, 252IPWR.
Full MPN examples: MSP430AFE221IPWR, MSP430AFE222IPWR, MSP430AFE223IPWR, MSP430AFE231IPWR, MSP430AFE232IPWR.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right MSP430AFE Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For MSP430AFE, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "MSP430AFE" — include the full suffix (e.g. 221IPWR, 222IPWR, 223IPWR). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
