The MSP430 ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM platform combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing innovators to increase performance at lowered energy budgets.

FRAM technology combines the speed, flexibility, and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of flash at much lower power. The MSP430 ULP FRAM portfolio consists of a diverse set of devices featuring FRAM, the ULP 16-bit MSP430 CPU, and intelligent peripherals targeted for various applications. The ULP architecture showcases seven low-power modes, optimized to achieve extended battery life in energy-challenged applications. MSP430FR5959 has an embedded microcontroller with 16-bit RISC architecture and up to a 16-MHz clock. It has a wide supply range of 1.8 to 3.6 V and optimized ultra-low-power modes. Active mode is approximately 100 µA/MHz, standby mode is 0.4 µA, and shutdown mode is 0.02 µA. The ultra-low-power FRAM has up to 64 KB of nonvolatile memory, ultra-low-power writes, and a 1015 write cycle endurance. Included intelligent digital peripherals are a 32-bit hardware multiplier, a three-channel internal DMA, a real-time clock, and five 16-bit timers. Additional features are multifunction input and output ports, code security and encryption, and enhanced serial communication. Potential applications of the MSP430FR5959 are metering, wearable electronics, and data logging.
