Device Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all

MSP430 MCU devices and support tools. Each MSP430 MCU commercial family member has one of

three prefixes: MSP, PMS, or XMS. TI recommends two of three possible prefix designators for its support

tools: MSP and MSPX. These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from

engineering prototypes (with XMS for devices and MSPX for tools) through fully qualified production

devices and tools (with MSP for devices and MSP for tools).

Device development evolutionary flow:

XMS – Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final electrical specifications of the

device

MSP – Fully qualified production device

Support tool development evolutionary flow:

MSPX – Development-support product that has not yet completed TI's internal qualification testing.

MSP – Fully-qualified development-support product

XMS devices and MSPX development-support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:

"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."

MSP devices and MSP development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and

reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.

Predictions show that prototype devices (XMS) have a greater failure rate than the standard production

devices. TI recommends that these devices not be used in any production system because their expected

end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be used.

TI device nomenclature also includes a suffix with the device family name. This suffix indicates the

package type (for example, PZP) and temperature range (for example, T). Figure 7-1 provides a legend

for reading the complete device name for any family member.
