What's different with MSP430G2513IPW20 ver A & ver C

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2513

Hi Sir.

We have used MSP430G2513IPW20 in our product. We always use ver A type. It's no problem still TI send ver C to us. When load code(the code is as the same as the ver A) to ver C. Our product's function is abnormal.

I'm looking for MSP430G2513 errata from TI website. but I can't find the different ver A & ver C data.

Please help me to verify What's different with MSP430G2513IPW20  ver A &  ver C ?

thanks a lot

  • Hi Grace,

    You can always find the differences between revisions listed in the device errata document. This document is linked from the product page www.ti.com/.../msp430g2513 right under the link to the datasheet there is a link to the errata document (copied here):
    www.ti.com/.../slaz438 Looking at the errata document, you can see that there should be no difference between Rev. A and Rev. C.

    Could you please give more information about what issue you are seeing with the new devices - what specifically is failing? What could be happening could be normal device-to-device variation within the datasheet spec - sometimes I see people have applications that have something that depends on a particular spec being a bit tighter than what is guaranteed in the datasheet, so then when they get a different lot of parts they may have an issue simply due to normal device variation.

    Another really good test would be to take one of your working units with Rev. A on it, and one of your new failing units with Rev. C on it, and swapping the parts (put the Rev. C part on the good board and the Rev. A part on the bad board). After this test both boards - did the issue follow the board or the device? This can help tell you if the dependency is on the silicon, or if it could be an issue with the PCB or soldering or something on the latest batch of boards from your board manufacturer. Another test would be, if these parts are failing functionally and were both already programmed, would be to read out the code as well to make sure that it has the same code version between the passing and failing parts.

  • Hi Katie,

    Thanks for your reply !!!

    I use the same schematics PCB , one set put Rev. A and the other one put Rev. C.

    I load the same code to Rev. A and Rev. C.

    The Rev. A can work normal, but The Rev. C can't work abnormal.
  • Hi Grace,

    What specifically is not working on the failing devices? Are you unable to program the parts? Or something else (maybe a particular function or module is having issues)? It will be hard for us to help with out some more detailed information.

  • Hi Grace,

    Are you still having the issue? If so, can you provide more information so we can try to help?

  • Hi Katie,

    Thanks a lot !!

    It's no problem.

    We made a mistake. Our engineer put wrong ver F/W to new PCB.

    Thanks a again
