Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2311IRGYR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with integrated transimpedance amplifier (TIA), 8-channel 10-bit ADC, smart analog combo (SAC-L1) op amp, and enhanced USCI serial interfaces. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, delivers 126 µA/MHz active current, and supports LPM4.5 shutdown at 32 nA - enabling long-life battery operation in portable sensing applications such as smoke detectors and wearable health monitors.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2311IRGYR datasheet, MSP430FR2311IRGYR pinout, MSP430FR2311IRGYR application, or MSP430FR2311IRGYR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12 I/O count in 4 mm × 3.5 mm VQFN package, TIA input leakage of 5 pA (enabled only on TSSOP16 per datasheet), FRAM endurance of 1015 write cycles, and dual eUSCI modules supporting UART/I²C/SPI with remap capability.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2311IRGYR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generator and digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) achieving ±1% accuracy at room temperature using on-chip reference. Its clock system integrates REFO (32 kHz), VLO (10 kHz), MODOSC, LFXT, and HFXT up to 16 MHz, with programmable MCLK/SMCLK prescalers for precise peripheral timing control.
Peripherals are partitioned across low-power domains: RTC counter and backup memory remain active in LPM3.5, while TIA, SAC-L1, and eCOMP operate in configurable high-/low-power modes. The TIA supports half-rail input, rail-to-rail output, and multiple input selections - but low-leakage negative input (5 pA) is explicitly restricted to TSSOP16 packages and not enabled on RGY16 per Section 1.1 and Table 4-1.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2311IPW16 | Same core, FRAM, and peripherals; 16-pin TSSOP with 11 I/Os and enabled 5-pA TIA− input. | Better suited for ultra-low-leakage analog front-ends requiring sub-10-pA bias currents. | Select when TIA low-leakage mode is mandatory and board space allows TSSOP footprint. |
| MSP430FR2153IRGER | 3.75 KB FRAM, 16-MHz DCO, but no TIA; adds 16-bit sigma-delta ADC and more GPIO (19 I/Os in 24-pin VQFN). | Targeted at higher-precision metrology (e.g., weight scales, flow meters) without photodiode current amplification. | Choose when high-resolution SD-ADC is needed and TIA functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MSP430FR2311IPW16, the MSP430FR2311IRGYR trades TIA− leakage performance for smaller VQFN footprint and higher I/O density (12 vs. 11 pins); versus MSP430FR2153IRGER, it retains TIA for optical sensing but lacks SD-ADC resolution and extra GPIO - making it optimal for compact, battery-critical photoelectric detection systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2311IRGYR?
The MSP430FR2311IRGYR features a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL) capable of delivering a stable 16-MHz system clock. This maximum frequency is achievable across the full 1.8–3.6 V supply range and supports active-mode operation at up to 16 MHz, enabling responsive real-time processing in compact sensing nodes.
Does the MSP430FR2311IRGYR support the 5-pA low-leakage TIA mode?
No - the 5-pA low-leakage negative input mode for the TIA is explicitly enabled only on the TSSOP16 package (PW16) per Section 1.1 and Table 4-1 of the datasheet. The MSP430FR2311IRGYR uses the 16-pin VQFN (RGY16) package, where this feature is not implemented; standard TIA operation remains fully functional.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430FR2311IRGYR provide?
The MSP430FR2311IRGYR provides 12 general-purpose I/O pins in its 16-pin VQFN (RGY16) package. These include P1.0–P1.7 (8 pins), P2.0–P2.1 (2 pins), and two dedicated debug pins (RST/NMI and TEST) that can be repurposed as GPIO after programming - all support capacitive touch and interrupt wake-up from any low-power mode.
What development tools are compatible with the MSP430FR2311IRGYR?
The MSP430FR2311IRGYR is supported by the MSP‑EXP430FR2311 LaunchPad™ development kit and the MSP‑TS430PW20 target board. Software support includes free TI MSP430Ware™, Code Composer Studio™ IDE (desktop/cloud), and Energia IDE. Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface enables programming and debugging via the RST/NMI and TEST pins.
Is FRAM write protection configurable on the MSP430FR2311IRGYR?
Yes - the MSP430FR2311IRGYR includes configurable FRAM write protection via the Memory Protection Unit (MPU). Users can define protected memory segments (e.g., bootloader region or calibration constants) using password-protected registers, preventing accidental or malicious overwrites during field operation or firmware updates.
