MSP430FG4618: Direct replacement for MSP430FG4618IZQW

Hi Sal,

Thank you for the insight. Is the A1 corner a datasheet mistake or does the customer need to take this into consideration when placing the device on the board?

I think this just means that the PIN 1 position is different and need take care of when soldering.

Hi Sal,

Can you please clarify? That does not sound like the part is a drop-in replacement then. What care needs to be taken when soldering?

-Jared

Hi Jared

The corresponding relationship between the marking points on the chip surface which means the PIN1 will at different position (Need to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise).

Hi Sal,

Thank you for the confirmation. So if the device is rotated properly, it will be a drop-in fit, do I understand that correctly?

Hi Jared,

Yes.
