Overview
MSP430FR2111IPW16 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 3.75KB nonvolatile program memory, 1KB RAM, 8-channel 10-bit ADC, and integrated temperature sensor. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, achieves 120 µA/MHz active current, and supports LPM3.5 (1 µA) and LPM4.5 (34 nA) for battery-powered smoke detectors and door/window sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2111IPW16 datasheet, MSP430FR2111IPW16 pinout, MSP430FR2111IPW16 application, or MSP430FR2111IPW16 equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), capacitive touch I/O capability across all 12 pins, RTC support in LPM3.5 with 32.768-kHz crystal, and eUSCI_A supporting UART/IrDA/SPI.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2111IPW16 integrates a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL for ±1% accuracy at room temperature, paired with REFO (32 kHz), VLO (10 kHz), and LFXT (32.768 kHz crystal) clock sources. Its power management module enables sub-10 µs wake-up from LPMs to active mode.
It features a unified FRAM memory architecture supporting simultaneous read/write, ECC protection, and configurable write protection. The ADC delivers 200 ksps sampling with internal 1.5-V reference and sample-and-hold, while the enhanced comparator includes a programmable 6-bit DAC for reference voltage generation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2111IPW16?
The MSP430FR2111IPW16 features a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL), enabling a maximum CPU clock frequency of 16 MHz. This allows real-time processing of sensor data while maintaining ultra-low-power operation through dynamic clock gating and multiple low-power modes. The DCO achieves ±1% accuracy at room temperature using the on-chip reference.
Does the MSP430FR2111IPW16 support hardware real-time clock functionality?
Yes, the MSP430FR2111IPW16 includes a dedicated 16-bit RTC counter that operates in LPM3.5 with a 32.768-kHz crystal, drawing only 1 µA. It supports calendar mode, alarm interrupts, and automatic leap-year correction. The RTC remains functional while the rest of the system is powered down, enabling precise time-stamping of sensor events without external RTC ICs.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430FR2111IPW16 ADC support?
The MSP430FR2111IPW16 integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC capable of single-ended measurements. Channels A0–A7 map directly to GPIO pins P1.0–P1.7 and P2.0–P2.3, allowing flexible sensor routing. The ADC supports 200 ksps sampling rate and uses an internal 1.5-V reference or external VREF inputs for improved accuracy.
What debug interface does the MSP430FR2111IPW16 use?
The MSP430FR2111IPW16 uses the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface, implemented on pins TEST/SBWTCK and RST/NMI/SBWTDIO. This 2-wire protocol provides full JTAG-level debug access-including breakpoint setting, register inspection, and flash programming-with minimal PCB footprint. SBW is supported by TI's MSP-FET and Code Composer Studio IDE.
Is the MSP430FR2111IPW16 pin-compatible with other devices in the FR21xx family?
Yes, the MSP430FR2111IPW16 in the TSSOP-16 (PW16) package shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with MSP430FR2110IPW16, MSP430FR2100IPW16, and MSP430FR2000IPW16. This enables drop-in replacement within the same package variant, though firmware must account for differences in FRAM size (3.75 KB vs. 2 KB/1 KB/0.5 KB) and ADC availability.
