Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2155TRHAT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 32KB program FRAM, 512B data FRAM, and 4KB RAM, operating from 1.8 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 105°C. It integrates a 12-bit 200 ksps SAR ADC, two enhanced comparators with 6-bit DAC reference, dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI) and dual eUSCI_B (SPI/I²C), and Timer_B modules - deployed in smoke detectors and industrial sensor transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2155TRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR2155TRHAT pinout, MSP430FR2155TRHAT application, or MSP430FR2155TRHAT equivalent, key selection criteria include extended temperature operation, FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ writes), LPM3.5 current (620 nA), 40-pin VQFN package compatibility, and absence of Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules compared to FR235x variants.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2155TRHAT implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generator and 24-MHz DCO+FLL clock system achieving ±1% accuracy at room temperature. Its power management includes SVS with programmable thresholds and five low-power modes - LPM3.5 retains RTC and backup memory while drawing only 620 nA with 32.768-kHz crystal.
Peripheral integration centers on signal acquisition and communication: the 12-channel 12-bit ADC supports internal 1.5/2.0/2.5-V references and sample-and-hold; eCOMP0/eCOMP1 offer configurable hysteresis and dual power modes (100 ns / 1 µs response); serial interfaces support full-duplex UART, IrDA, SPI, and I²C with independent clock domains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2153TRHAT | 16KB program FRAM, 2KB RAM (vs. 32KB/4KB); identical peripheral set and package | Lower memory footprint suits simpler firmware with minimal data logging or calibration tables | Select when application code size remains under 16KB and SRAM usage stays below 2KB - reduces cost without sacrificing I/O or analog capability |
| MSP430FR2355TRHAT | Adds four Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules (configurable OA/DAC), same FRAM/RAM, same package | Enables multi-channel programmable-gain amplification or 12-bit DAC generation not available in MSP430FR2155TRHAT | Choose when system requires additional analog signal conditioning beyond dual op-amps - SAC modules replace discrete PGA/DAC components |
Compared with MSP430FR2153TRHAT, the MSP430FR2155TRHAT doubles FRAM and RAM for richer firmware and data buffering; versus MSP430FR2355TRHAT, it omits SAC modules - reducing complexity and cost where advanced analog configurability is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2155TRHAT?
The MSP430FR2155TRHAT supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 24 MHz, achieved using the on-chip digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL). This 24-MHz operation is validated across the full –40°C to 105°C temperature range and 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply voltage, with ±1% accuracy at room temperature when referenced to the internal REFO.
Does the MSP430FR2155TRHAT include Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules?
No, the MSP430FR2155TRHAT does not include Smart Analog Combo (SAC) modules. SAC functionality is exclusive to the MSP430FR235x family (e.g., MSP430FR2355TRHAT). The MSP430FR2155TRHAT provides two rail-to-rail operational amplifiers (OA0/OA1) and two enhanced comparators (eCOMP0/eCOMP1), but lacks the four configurable SAC-L3 units that support PGA, DAC, and OA combinations.
What are the low-power mode current specifications for the MSP430FR2155TRHAT?
At 3 V, the MSP430FR2155TRHAT achieves 1.43 µA in LPM3 (32.768-kHz crystal, SVS enabled), 620 nA in LPM3.5 (same crystal, SVS enabled), and 42 nA in LPM4.5 (shutdown, SVS disabled). These values are production-tested and specified across the full operating temperature range, enabling decade-long battery life in maintenance-free sensor nodes.
Which development tools support the MSP430FR2155TRHAT?
The MSP430FR2155TRHAT is supported by the MSP-EXP430FR2355 LaunchPad™ development kit (software-compatible), the MSP-TS43048PT 48-pin target board (pin-compatible with adapter), and TI's free MSP430Ware™ software suite. Code Composer Studio™ IDE (desktop/cloud) provides full debugging, profiling, and driver library integration - including FFT and sensor driver examples optimized for the MSP430FR215x platform.
How many ADC channels does the MSP430FR2155TRHAT support, and what are its reference options?
The MSP430FR2155TRHAT features a 12-bit SAR ADC with up to 10 usable analog input channels (A0–A9, A11) in the 40-pin RHA package. It supports internal voltage references of 1.5 V, 2.0 V, and 2.5 V - selectable via software - eliminating the need for external reference ICs in most precision sensing applications.
