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 (up to 64KB of nonvolatile memory), 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. MSP430 may be used for the following applications: metering, energy harvested sensor nodes, wearable electronics, sensor management, and data logging. It features an embedded microcontroller and a wide supply voltage range of 1.8 to 3.6 V. With optimized ultra-low-power modes, active mode is approximately 100 µA/MHz and standby is 0.4 µA (typical). Intelligent digital peripherals include a 32-bit hardware multiplier, three-channel internal DMA, a real-time clock with calendar and alarm function, and five timers with as many as seven capture/compare registers each.
