Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2355TRHAT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 32KB FRAM, 4KB RAM, and four Smart Analog Combo (SAC-L3) modules for configurable op-amp or DAC operation. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 105°C, supports 24 MHz DCO with ±1% accuracy, and delivers 142 µA/MHz active current - deployed in battery-powered industrial sensor transmitters and smoke detectors.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2355TRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR2355TRHAT pinout, MSP430FR2355TRHAT application, or MSP430FR2355TRHAT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin VQFN (RHA) package, integrated SAC-L3 signal-chain flexibility, LPM3.5 standby current of 620 nA, and dual eUSCI_A/eUSCI_B interfaces for UART/I²C/SPI in space-constrained sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2355TRHAT implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generator and 32-bit hardware multiplier (MPY32), enabling efficient signal processing in low-power modes. Its clock system integrates DCO (24 MHz), REFO (32 kHz), VLO (10 kHz), and external HFXT/LFXT support - all programmable via CS module with prescalers for MCLK/SMCLK.
Four SAC-L3 modules each provide rail-to-rail OA, PGA (×1–×33 noninverting), 12-bit DAC reference, and configurable power modes - directly supporting analog front-end tasks without external components. The 12-bit SAR ADC (200 ksps, 12-channel) shares internal references (1.5/2.0/2.5 V) and interfaces with SAC outputs for closed-loop conditioning.
