MSP430FR5969IRGZR Ultra-Low-Power FRAM Microcontroller IC 16-Bit 16MHz 64KB
The MSP430FR5969IRGZR is a feature-rich, ultra-low-power (ULP) 16-bit RISC microcontroller from TI, built on the MSP430 FRAM platform for battery-powered and energy-constrained applications. Operating at 16MHz with a wide 1.8V to 3.6V supply range, it integrates 64KB of nonvolatile FRAM, 2KB of SRAM, and a comprehensive analog & digital peripheral set. It delivers class-leading power efficiency with just 100µA/MHz active current, 0.4µA standby (LPM3), and 0.02µA shutdown (LPM4.5), maximizing battery life in always-on systems. The unified FRAM combines fast 125ns/word writes, 10¹⁵ cycle endurance, and instant nonvolatile data storage without flash write delays. Housed in a compact 48-pin VQFN package, it supports -40°C to +85°C operation, with integrated AES-128 encryption, 12-bit SAR ADC, 3-channel DMA, and multiple serial interfaces, making it ideal for secure, high-precision embedded designs.
