Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2111IRLLT 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 eCOMP with 6-bit DAC reference. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and delivers 120 µA/MHz active current, targeting battery-powered sensing nodes such as smoke detectors and portable health monitors.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2111IRLLT datasheet, MSP430FR2111IRLLT pinout, MSP430FR2111IRLLT application, or MSP430FR2111IRLLT equivalent, key selection criteria include its VQFN-24 (RLL) package, LPM3.5 RTC operation at 1 µA, capacitive touch I/O capability across all 12 GPIOs, and FRAM endurance of 1015 write cycles-critical for data-logging in energy-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2111IRLLT integrates a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL, on-chip 32-kHz REFO, VLO, and LFXT support for precise clocking across operating modes. Its real-time clock counter operates in LPM3.5 with external 32.768-kHz crystal at 1 µA, while shutdown (LPM4.5) draws only 34 nA without SVS.
It features a unified FRAM memory architecture supporting simultaneous read/write, ECC protection, and configurable write protection. The enhanced USCI_A module provides UART, IrDA, and SPI interfaces, and Timer_B3 includes three capture/compare registers-with CCR1 and CCR2 externally accessible for PWM or input capture.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2111IRLLT?
The MSP430FR2111IRLLT features a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL), enabling a maximum system clock (MCLK) of 16 MHz. This frequency is fully supported across the 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range and is used for CPU execution, peripheral timing, and active-mode performance. The DCO's ±1% accuracy at room temperature ensures stable operation without external crystal for many timing-critical functions.
Does the MSP430FR2111IRLLT support capacitive touch sensing on all I/O pins?
Yes, the MSP430FR2111IRLLT supports capacitive touch sensing on all 12 general-purpose I/O pins. This capability is implemented in hardware via the built-in capacitive touch I/O structure, eliminating the need for external RC networks or dedicated touch controller ICs. Each pin can be configured independently for touch sensing, making the MSP430FR2111IRLLT ideal for compact, battery-powered user interfaces such as appliance controls or wearable device buttons.
What low-power modes are available on the MSP430FR2111IRLLT, and what is the current draw in LPM3.5?
The MSP430FR2111IRLLT offers multiple low-power modes including LPM3.5, where the real-time clock (RTC) counter and 32-byte backup memory remain active while the CPU and most peripherals are disabled. With a 32.768-kHz external crystal, LPM3.5 draws just 1 µA at 3 V. This mode enables precise timekeeping and periodic wake-up events-such as hourly sensor reads-while minimizing energy consumption in long-life battery applications.
Can the MSP430FR2111IRLLT operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430FR2111IRLLT is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality-including 16-MHz DCO operation, ADC conversion, FRAM read/write, and GPIO control-as long as supply voltage remains above the SVS (supply voltage supervisor) threshold. This makes the MSP430FR2111IRLLT compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, or two-series alkaline battery configurations without regulation.
What development tools are officially supported for the MSP430FR2111IRLLT?
Texas Instruments officially supports the MSP-EXP430FR2311 LaunchPad™ development kit, which is hardware-compatible with the MSP430FR2111IRLLT due to shared pinout and peripheral set. Software support includes Code Composer Studio™ IDE with integrated MSP430Ware™ libraries, Energia IDE, and TI's free Uniflash programmer. Debugging is enabled via Spy-Bi-Wire using the onboard debugger or external MSP-FET430U20.
