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. MSP430 has an embedded microcontroller with 16-bit RISC architecture and up to 16-MHz clock. It has a wide supply range of 1.8 to 3.6 V. Active mode is approximately 100 µA/MHz, standby mode is 0.4 µA, and shutdown is 0.02 µA. The ultra-low-power FRAM provides up to 64KB of nonvolatile memory, ultra-low-power writers, and 1015 write cycle endurance. MSP430 features intelligent digital peripherals such as a 32-bit hardware multiplier and three-channel internal DMA. It has multifunction input and output ports, code security and encryption, and enhanced serial communication. Applications: metering, wearable electronics, sensor management, data logging, etc.
