MSP430FR5738 is an ultra-low-power, mixed signal microcontroller with FRAM nonvolatile memory

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The Texas Instruments MSP430FR573x family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers consists of multiple devices that feature embedded FRAM nonvolatile memory, ultra-low-power 16-bit MSP430 CPU, and different peripherals targeted for various applications. 

The architecture, FRAM, and peripherals, combined with seven low-power modes, are optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable and wireless sensing applications. FRAM is a new nonvolatile memory that combines the speed, flexibility, and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of flash, all at lower total power consumption. Peripherals include a 10-bit ADC, a 16-channel comparator with voltage reference generation and hysteresis capabilities, three enhanced serial channels capable of I2C, SPI, or UART protocols, an internal DMA, a hardware multiplier, an RTC, five 16-bit timers, and digital I/Os. MSP430FR5738 operates within a range of –40°C to 85°C. Its power management system offers fully integrated LDO, a supply voltage supervisor for core and supply voltages with reset capability, and serial on-board programming with no external voltage needed. It also features a flexible clock system with fixed-frequency DCO, 32-kHz crystals, and high-frequency crystals. The device comes with a full development kit and a target board.
