Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2355TDBTR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 32KB program FRAM, 4KB RAM, and four Smart Analog Combo (SAC-L3) modules supporting configurable op-amps and 12-bit DACs. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 105°C and integrates a 12-bit 200 ksps SAR ADC, two enhanced comparators, dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI) and dual eUSCI_B (SPI/I²C), and Timer_B3/TB7 peripherals - deployed in battery-powered smoke detectors and industrial sensor transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2355TDBTR datasheet, MSP430FR2355TDBTR pinout, MSP430FR2355TDBTR application, or MSP430FR2355TDBTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 34-I/O TSSOP-38 package, SAC-L3 analog configurability, FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ writes), LPM3.5 current (620 nA), and extended temperature support for harsh-environment sensing.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2355TDBTR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with 24-MHz DCO+FLL clock system, including REFO, VLO, MODOSC, and external HFXT/LFXT support. Its memory architecture unifies 32KB FRAM (with ECC and write protection) and 4KB SRAM, enabling fast nonvolatile data logging without wear leveling.
Four SAC-L3 modules provide per-channel rail-to-rail OA/PGA/DAC functionality with programmable gain (×1–×33), 12-bit reference DAC offset control, and dual power modes - directly replacing discrete signal-chain components in sensor front-ends while maintaining <1.43 µA LPM3 operation with 32.768-kHz crystal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2355TPT | Same core, FRAM, RAM, and peripherals; differs only in 48-pin LQFP (7×7 mm) vs. 38-pin TSSOP (9.7×4.4 mm) package. | Requires PCB redesign due to larger footprint and different pinout; better thermal dissipation for sustained active-mode operation. | Select when board space permits larger package and higher I/O count (44 vs. 34) is needed. |
| MSP430FR2155TDBT | Omits four SAC-L3 modules; retains 32KB FRAM, 4KB RAM, ADC, comparators, and same TSSOP-38 package. | Cannot perform on-chip PGA/DAC signal conditioning; requires external analog components for sensor front-end design. | Select when analog integration is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over signal-chain consolidation. |
Compared with MSP430FR2355TDBTR, the TPT variant offers more I/O and thermal margin but increases board area, while the FR2155TDBT removes SAC-L3 to lower cost - making MSP430FR2355TDBTR the optimal choice for space-constrained, analog-intensive sensing where BOM reduction and extended temperature resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2355TDBTR?
The MSP430FR2355TDBTR features a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL) that delivers a maximum system clock of 24 MHz. This frequency is fully supported across the entire operating voltage range (1.8 V to 3.6 V) and temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), enabling deterministic real-time execution in time-critical sensor and control applications using the MSP430FR2355TDBTR.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430FR2355TDBTR provide in its TSSOP-38 package?
The MSP430FR2355TDBTR in the TSSOP-38 package provides 34 general-purpose I/O pins, distributed across ports P1–P6. Of these, 32 pins (all on P1, P2, P3, and P4) support interrupt generation and can wake the device from all low-power modes including LPM3.5 and LPM4.5 - a key capability for event-driven sensor node designs using the MSP430FR2355TDBTR.
Does the MSP430FR2355TDBTR include hardware support for CRC computation?
Yes, the MSP430FR2355TDBTR integrates a dedicated 16-bit cyclic redundancy checker (CRC) peripheral. It supports both CRC-16-CCITT and CRC-16-IBM polynomials and can compute checksums over memory ranges or data streams in hardware - offloading the CPU and ensuring deterministic, glitch-free error detection for firmware updates and sensor data integrity in the MSP430FR2355TDBTR.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the MSP430FR2355TDBTR beyond the ADC and comparators?
Beyond its 12-bit 12-channel SAR ADC and two enhanced comparators (eCOMP), the MSP430FR2355TDBTR integrates four Smart Analog Combo (SAC-L3) modules. Each SAC-L3 supports programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) mode (gains ×1–×33), operational amplifier (OA) mode, and 12-bit DAC mode - providing on-chip analog signal conditioning previously requiring multiple discrete components in designs based on the MSP430FR2355TDBTR.
Is the MSP430FR2355TDBTR qualified for operation at 105°C?
Yes, the MSP430FR2355TDBTR is fully specified and qualified for continuous operation from –40°C to 105°C across its entire recommended voltage range (1.8 V to 3.6 V). This extended temperature rating is explicitly validated in TI's production test flow and enables reliable deployment in high-ambient environments such as electrical panels, rooftop HVAC units, and automotive under-hood applications using the MSP430FR2355TDBTR.
