Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2033IG48R from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 15.5 KB of FRAM (15 KB program + 512 B information), 2 KB RAM, and integrated 10-bit ADC with 8 input channels. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, achieves 126 µA/MHz active current at 3 V, and supports LPM3.5 real-time clock operation at 0.77 µA - enabling battery-powered smoke detectors and industrial sensor nodes with multi-year runtime.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2033IG48R datasheet, MSP430FR2033IG48R pinout, MSP430FR2033IG48R application, or MSP430FR2033IG48R equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), capacitive touch I/O support across all pins, dual eUSCI modules (UART/I²C/SPI), and verified 48-pin TSSOP package compatibility with LPM3.5 RTC operation and 200 ksps ADC sampling.
Technical Context
This device implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) locked via FLL to ±1% accuracy at room temperature using the on-chip REFO. Its clock system integrates multiple sources: 32-kHz XT1 crystal, 10-kHz VLO, 16-MHz DCO, MODCLK, and programmable prescalers for MCLK/SMCLK.
The peripheral set includes two Timer_A3 modules (each with three capture/compare registers), CRC16 engine, IR modulation logic, watchdog timer, and power management module supporting six low-power modes - including LPM4.5 (15 nA shutdown) and LPM3.5 with RTC enabled while core and most peripherals remain powered off.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 registers and constant generators; enables high code efficiency and sub-10 µs wake-up from LPM to active mode. |
| Memory | 15 KB program FRAM + 512 B info FRAM + 2 KB RAM; unified nonvolatile memory with ECC, 1015 write endurance, radiation resistant. |
| ADC | 10-bit SAR ADC with 8 external channels, 200 ksps sample rate, internal 1.5-V reference, and sample-and-hold capability. |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM3.5 draws 0.77 µA with 32.768-kHz crystal RTC active; LPM4.5 draws 15 nA in full shutdown - critical for coin-cell–powered endpoints. |
| Communication | eUSCI_A0 supports UART, IrDA, SPI; eUSCI_B0 supports SPI and I²C; both configurable for low-power wakeup and autonomous transfers. |
| Package & Pins | TSSOP-48 package with 44 GPIOs; all pins support capacitive touch sensing and 16 interrupt-capable I/Os (P1/P2) for LPM wake-up. |
| Supply Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V operation; minimum voltage constrained by SVS thresholds - requires careful brown-out configuration for reliable low-voltage operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 (G48) package, 12.5 mm × 6.1 mm body size, 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced for industrial ambient conditions up to 85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI/SBWTDIO | Reset / NMI input / SBW data I/O | Single-pin debug interface for programming and reset; must be pulled high externally; shared function requires careful JTAG/SBW mode handling. |
| TEST/SBWTCK | SBW test clock input | Required for Spy-Bi-Wire debugging; not used in application mode; must be pulled low or left floating per TI guidelines to avoid interference. |
| P1.0–P1.7 | General-purpose I/O / ADC A0–A7 / eUSCI signals | Primary analog input bank (A0–A7); also serve UART TX/RX, SPI, and timer functions - pin multiplexing requires software configuration at startup. |
| P4.1/XIN & P4.2/XOUT | XT1 crystal oscillator terminals | Support external 32.768-kHz crystal for RTC; require external load capacitors (12.5 pF typical); critical for LPM3.5 timing accuracy. |
| P5.0–P5.3 | eUSCI_B0 I²C/SPI signals | Provide I²C (SCL/SDA) and SPI (STE/CLK/SOMI/SIMO) interfaces; enable communication with sensors, EEPROMs, and displays without additional level shifters. |
| DVCC / DVSS | Main power pair | Single 1.8–3.6 V supply powers digital and analog domains; requires 4.7–10 µF bulk + 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per TI layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) | 15.5 KB nonvolatile memory with ECC, 1015 write cycles, and zero write delay - eliminates need for wear-leveling firmware in data-logging applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2032IG48R | 8 KB program FRAM + 512 B info FRAM + 1 KB RAM; same 48-pin TSSOP package and peripheral set. | Lower memory capacity limits complex sensor fusion or extended data logging; suitable for simpler smoke/temperature endpoints. | Select when application firmware fits within 8 KB FRAM and 1 KB RAM - reduces cost without sacrificing low-power performance or pin compatibility. |
| MSP430FR2355TRHBR | 64-pin VQFN; 32 KB FRAM; enhanced analog (12-bit ADC, op-amps, DAC); higher pin count and thermal performance. | Targets more complex signal conditioning and closed-loop control; not pin-compatible and requires PCB redesign. | Choose for next-generation designs needing higher-resolution sensing, analog front-end integration, or future scalability - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MSP430FR2033IG48R, the MSP430FR2032IG48R offers identical low-power behavior and pinout at reduced memory, while the MSP430FR2355TRHBR adds analog precision and density but demands layout revision - making the former ideal for cost-optimized replacements and the latter for feature-expanded upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2033IG48R?
The MSP430FR2033IG48R features a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL-based frequency locking, enabling stable operation up to 16 MHz. This maximum frequency is achievable across the full 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range and specified temperature conditions, with ±1% accuracy at room temperature when referenced to the internal REFO.
Does the MSP430FR2033IG48R support hardware real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the MSP430FR2033IG48R includes a dedicated 16-bit RTC counter that operates independently in LPM3.5 mode with an external 32.768-kHz crystal, drawing only 0.77 µA. It supports calendar mode, alarm interrupts, and automatic leap-year correction - all implemented in hardware without CPU intervention.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430FR2033IG48R ADC support in the 48-pin TSSOP package?
In the MSP430FR2033IG48R (TSSOP-48), the 10-bit ADC supports 8 external analog input channels (A0–A7), mapped to P1.0 through P1.7. While the full family supports up to 10 channels, pins A8 and A9 are not bonded out in this package variant per TI's Device Comparison table and Pin Diagram documentation.
Can the MSP430FR2033IG48R perform capacitive touch sensing on all GPIO pins?
Yes, the MSP430FR2033IG48R supports capacitive touch sensing on all 44 available GPIOs in the TSSOP-48 package. This capability is implemented in hardware via the built-in CapTIvate™-compatible charge-transfer method, requiring no external components and enabling robust touch buttons, sliders, or proximity detection in space-constrained designs.
What debug interface does the MSP430FR2033IG48R use, and what pins are required?
The MSP430FR2033IG48R uses the two-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface for programming and debugging, requiring only RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (pin 16) and TEST/SBWTCK (pin 17) - both located on the same side of the TSSOP-48 package. No external pull-ups or level shifters are needed, and SBW operates at full system voltage (1.8–3.6 V).
