MSP430FR5969 is a 16 MHz Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

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, which are optimized to achieve extended battery life in energy-challenged applications. MSP430 has an embedded microcontroller with 16-bit RISC architecture up to 16-MHz clock and a supply range of 1.8 to 3.6 V. Its active mode is approximately 100 µA/MHz, while shutdown is 0.02 µA. The ultra-low-power FRAM features up to 64KB of nonvolatile memory and ultra-low-power writes. It has a 1015 write cycle endurance. Also included with the MSP430 are multifunction input and output ports, code security and encryption, and enhanced serial communication. The device incorporates a flexible clock system with 32 kHz crystals and high-frequency crystals. Development tools and software are provided. Applications range from metering and wearable electronics to sensor management and data logging.
