Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2433IRGET from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 15.5 KB nonvolatile memory, 4 KB RAM, 8-channel 10-bit ADC, dual eUSCI_A (UART/SPI/IrDA) and one eUSCI_B (SPI/I²C), and operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. It delivers 126 µA/MHz active current and 730 nA RTC operation in LPM3.5-ideal for battery-powered industrial sensors and electronic door locks.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2433IRGET datasheet, MSP430FR2433IRGET pinout, MSP430FR2433IRGET application, or MSP430FR2433IRGET equivalent, key selection factors include FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ write cycles), real-time clock support with 32.768-kHz crystal, low-power timer architecture (Timer_A3/A2), and VQFN-24 (4 mm × 4 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2433IRGET integrates a 16-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL, ±1% accuracy at room temperature, and supports multiple clock domains (MCLK, SMCLK, ACLK) derived from internal oscillators (REFO, VLO, MODOSC) or external crystals (LFXT). Its clock system enables dynamic frequency scaling across ultra-low-power modes.
It features two Timer_A3 modules (each with three capture/compare registers, though only CCR1/CCR2 are externally accessible) and two Timer_A2 modules (each with two capture/compare registers, only CCR1 externally functional), plus a dedicated 16-bit RTC counter-enabling precise timing control while maintaining sub-µA sleep currents.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR2433IRGET?
The MSP430FR2433IRGET supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 16 MHz via its on-chip digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with frequency-locked loop (FLL). This frequency is achievable across the full 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range and maintains ±1% accuracy at room temperature using the internal reference. The MSP430FR2433IRGET does not require an external crystal for high-speed operation, though LFXT can be used for precision timing.
Does the MSP430FR2433IRGET support real-time clock (RTC) functionality with external crystal?
Yes, the MSP430FR2433IRGET supports RTC operation in LPM3.5 mode using an external 32.768-kHz crystal connected to P2.0/XOUT and P2.1/XIN. In this mode, the RTC counter remains active while the rest of the system-including CPU, FRAM, and most peripherals-is powered down, drawing only 730 nA typical current. The MSP430FR2433IRGET's RTC is a dedicated 16-bit counter, not software-emulated.
How many ADC channels does the MSP430FR2433IRGET provide, and what is their resolution?
The MSP430FR2433IRGET integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with a maximum sample rate of 200 ksps. Channels A0–A7 are mapped to dedicated analog input pins (P1.0–P1.7, P2.2, P2.3, P3.0–P3.2), and the ADC includes an internal 1.5-V reference and sample-and-hold circuit. The MSP430FR2433IRGET does not support differential input mode in its base configuration.
What debug interfaces are supported by the MSP430FR2433IRGET?
The MSP430FR2433IRGET supports both JTAG and Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) debug interfaces using dedicated pins: RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 1), TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 2), TCK (Pin 3), TMS (Pin 4), TDI (Pin 5), and TDO (Pin 6). SBW is the default and recommended interface for most development, requiring only two wires; JTAG is available for advanced boundary-scan or legacy toolchain support. Both interfaces enable full flash programming and real-time debugging.
Is the MSP430FR2433IRGET pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR2xx family?
Yes, the MSP430FR2433IRGET in the VQFN-24 (RGE) package shares identical pinout and footprint with other 24-pin MSP430FR2xx devices such as the MSP430FR2476IRGET and MSP430FR2155IRGET. This allows direct substitution in existing designs when higher memory or peripheral count is needed-provided software and power delivery are validated for the new part's specifications.
