Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2155TPT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller designed for sensing and measurement applications in industrial and safety-critical environments. It features 32KB program FRAM, 4KB RAM, 12-bit SAR ADC (200 ksps), two enhanced comparators, and operates across –40°C to 105°C. Used in smoke detectors and sensor transmitters where nonvolatile data logging and fast wake-up (<10 µs) are essential.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2155TPT datasheet, MSP430FR2155TPT pinout, MSP430FR2155TPT application, or MSP430FR2155TPT equivalent, key selection criteria include extended temperature operation, FRAM endurance (1015 writes), LPM3.5 current (620 nA), and 44 I/O count in 48-pin LQFP - critical for battery-powered sensor nodes requiring long-term reliability without flash wear-out.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2155TPT implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with 24-MHz DCO+FLL clock system, ±1% accuracy at room temperature, and supports multiple low-power modes including LPM3.5 (620 nA) with RTC and backup memory active. Its power management module integrates SVS with configurable thresholds (VSVSH±) and BOR, enabling robust operation across 1.8–3.6 V supply range.
It includes two eUSCI_A modules (UART/IrDA/SPI) and two eUSCI_B modules (SPI/I²C), three Timer_B3 peripherals (3×CCR each), one Timer_B7 (7×CCR), and a 16-bit RTC counter. Unlike MSP430FR235x variants, it omits Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules but retains full analog capability via dual eCOMP and integrated 6-bit DAC reference.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2153TPT | 16KB FRAM, 2KB RAM, same package/peripherals/temperature range | Lower memory footprint suits simpler sensor nodes without complex firmware or large data buffers | Select when application firmware fits within 16KB and RAM usage stays under 2KB; identical pinout and migration path. |
| MSP430FR2355TPT | Adds four Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules; otherwise identical FRAM/RAM/timing/peripherals | Required for designs needing programmable-gain op-amps or 12-bit DACs in analog front-end without external ICs | Choose only if SAC functionality is needed; otherwise MSP430FR2155TPT offers cost and BOM advantage with full feature parity elsewhere. |
Compared with MSP430FR2153TPT, the MSP430FR2155TPT provides double FRAM and RAM for larger firmware and data logging; versus MSP430FR2355TPT, it omits SAC modules - reducing cost and complexity where integrated op-amp/DAC functionality is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2155TPT?
The MSP430FR2155TPT supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 24 MHz via its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL stabilization. This frequency is achievable across the full operating voltage range (1.8–3.6 V) and temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), enabling real-time processing for sensor fusion and communication protocols without performance derating.
Does the MSP430FR2155TPT include hardware encryption or secure boot features?
No, the MSP430FR2155TPT does not include hardware encryption accelerators, secure boot ROM, or tamper-detection circuitry. It relies on software-based security measures and external secure elements if cryptographic functions or firmware authentication are required in the application design.
Can the MSP430FR2155TPT drive an external crystal above 32.768 kHz?
Yes - the MSP430FR2155TPT supports external high-frequency crystals up to 24 MHz via the HFXT oscillator module. The LFXT input is dedicated to 32.768-kHz crystals for RTC and low-power timing, while HFXT handles main system clocking; both require appropriate external load capacitors per crystal manufacturer specifications.
How many I²C interfaces does the MSP430FR2155TPT support?
The MSP430FR2155TPT supports two eUSCI_B modules (eUSCI_B0 and eUSCI_B1), both capable of SPI and I²C operation. However, only eUSCI_B1 is documented to support I²C slave/master mode; eUSCI_B0 supports SPI and UART (via eUSCI_A) but not I²C - confirmed in TI SLASEC4D Table 3-1 footnote (4).
Is the MSP430FR2155TPT pin-compatible with the MSP430FR2355TPT?
Yes - the MSP430FR2155TPT and MSP430FR2355TPT share identical 48-pin LQFP (PT) packaging, pinout, and peripheral mapping. They differ only in on-die analog functionality (SAC modules present in FR2355, absent in FR2155), making them drop-in replacements where SAC is unused, with no PCB or layout changes required.
