Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2155TPTR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller optimized for sensing and measurement applications. It features 32KB program FRAM, 4KB RAM, 12-bit SAR ADC (200 ksps), two enhanced comparators with integrated 6-bit DAC, and operates across –40°C to 105°C for industrial smoke detectors and sensor transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2155TPTR datasheet, MSP430FR2155TPTR pinout, MSP430FR2155TPTR application, or MSP430FR2155TPTR equivalent, key selection criteria include LPM3.5 current (620 nA), FRAM endurance (1015 writes), 44 I/O count in LQFP-48, and support for UART/I²C/SPI via dual eUSCI_A and eUSCI_B modules.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2155TPTR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generator and 24-MHz DCO+FLL clock system offering ±1% accuracy at room temperature. Its power management module supports six low-power modes including LPM3.5 (620 nA) and LPM4.5 (42 nA), with wake-up capability from all I/O pins (P1–P4).
Unlike MSP430FR235x variants, the MSP430FR2155TPTR omits Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules but retains full analog functionality: 12-channel 12-bit ADC with internal 1.5/2.0/2.5-V reference, two eCOMPs with programmable hysteresis and dual power modes, and unified FRAM memory architecture enabling simultaneous code execution and data logging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generator; enables high code efficiency and deterministic real-time response. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 24 MHz via DCO+FLL; ±1% accuracy at 25°C using on-chip reference - eliminates need for external crystal in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Memory | 32KB FRAM program + 512B data FRAM + 4KB RAM; unified nonvolatile memory allows in-field firmware updates without erase cycles. |
| ADC | 12-bit SAR, 12-channel, 200 ksps sampling rate with internal shared reference (1.5/2.0/2.5 V); supports single-ended inputs for sensor signal conditioning. |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM3.5 draws 620 nA (with SVS enabled, 32768-Hz crystal); enables battery-powered operation for >10 years in periodic wake-up sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2153TPTR | 16KB FRAM, 2KB RAM, identical peripherals and pinout | Lower memory capacity suits simpler sensor nodes with fixed firmware and minimal data logging | Select when application firmware fits within 16KB and FRAM data buffering requirements are ≤2KB. |
| MSP430FR2355TPTR | Adds four Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules; same FRAM/RAM, 44 I/O, LQFP-48 package | Enables programmable-gain op-amp and 12-bit DAC functions for precision analog front-ends (e.g., strain gauge amplification) | Choose only if SAC-based signal conditioning is required - adds design flexibility but increases cost and complexity. |
Compared with MSP430FR2153TPTR, the MSP430FR2155TPTR provides double FRAM and RAM for larger firmware and extended data logging; versus MSP430FR2355TPTR, it trades SAC analog configurability for lower cost and reduced software overhead in fixed-function sensor applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and accuracy of the MSP430FR2155TPTR internal oscillator?
The MSP430FR2155TPTR integrates a 24-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL) achieving ±1% accuracy at room temperature using the on-chip reference. This eliminates the need for an external crystal in many cost-sensitive applications while maintaining timing integrity for UART and ADC sampling.
Does the MSP430FR2155TPTR support hardware debug interfaces, and which ones?
Yes, the MSP430FR2155TPTR supports Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins - a 2-wire variant of JTAG that enables full in-system programming and real-time debugging with minimal PCB footprint and no additional connectors required.
How does the FRAM memory in the MSP430FR2155TPTR differ from traditional flash in terms of endurance and write speed?
The MSP430FR2155TPTR's FRAM offers 1015 write cycles - orders of magnitude higher than flash - and supports byte-level writes at SRAM speeds without erase delays. This enables reliable, high-frequency data logging (e.g., sensor timestamps or fault events) directly to nonvolatile memory without wear leveling.
What low-power modes are available on the MSP430FR2155TPTR, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?
The MSP430FR2155TPTR supports six low-power modes. The lowest active-retention mode is LPM3.5 (620 nA with 32768-Hz crystal running), and the absolute minimum is LPM4.5 (42 nA with SVS disabled), both retaining RAM and register contents - ideal for infrequently polled battery-powered sensors.
Can the MSP430FR2155TPTR operate across the full industrial temperature range, and how is this validated?
Yes, the MSP430FR2155TPTR is fully specified and tested from –40°C to 105°C. This extended temperature qualification is confirmed in TI's production test flow and documented in the SLASEC4D datasheet, enabling use in smoke detectors, circuit breakers, and battery packs exposed to thermal stress.
