Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2676TRHAT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller with integrated CapTIvate™ capacitive touch sensing, 64KB FRAM, 8KB RAM, and support for up to 16 self- and 64 mutual-capacitance electrodes. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, achieves <0.9 µA/button in wake-on-touch mode, and delivers IEC-61000-4-2/4-4/4-6 compliance for robust operation in wet, greasy, or noisy environments-ideal for smart lock keypads and appliance control panels.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2676TRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR2676TRHAT pinout, MSP430FR2676TRHAT application, or MSP430FR2676TRHAT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping (40-pin VQFN-RHA), real-world use-value metrics, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2676TRHAT integrates a dedicated hardware-accelerated CapTIvate module enabling concurrent self- and mutual-capacitance scanning with automatic tuning, spread-spectrum modulation, and noise filtering-eliminating CPU intervention during electrode measurement. Its 16-bit RISC CPU runs at up to 16 MHz via an FLL-stabilized DCO, while independent low-power domains allow CapTIvate operation in LPM3/LPM4 with only 5 µA total current draw.
It features four Timer_A3 modules (each with three capture/compare registers), one Timer_B7 (seven CCRs), a dedicated CapTIvate timer, RTC, 12-bit ADC (10 channels), enhanced comparator with 6-bit DAC reference, and dual eUSCI_A (UART/SPI/IrDA) and eUSCI_B (SPI/I²C) peripherals-all mapped across 35 GPIOs in the 40-pin VQFN package with full interrupt capability on every pin.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 40-pin VQFN (RHA), 6 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad (pin 40 = DVSS). Pin count reduced from 48-pin LQFP to 35 GPIOs due to fewer analog and timer signal allocations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI/SBWTDIO | Reset / Non-maskable interrupt / Spy-Bi-Wire data | Primary debug and reset interface; enables in-system programming and low-pin-count JTAG emulation. |
| TEST/SBWTCK | Spy-Bi-Wire clock | Required for SBW debugging; must be pulled high externally for normal operation. |
| VREG | CapTIvate regulator decoupling | Requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor (≤200 mΩ ESR); powers internal analog sensing circuitry independently. |
| P1.0–P1.7, P2.0–P2.7, P3.0–P3.7, P4.0–P4.7, P5.0–P5.2 | Configurable GPIO / peripheral multiplex | All 35 pins support interrupt-on-change and wake-from-LPM; many assigned to CAPx.x, TAx, TB0, UCAx/UCBx, ADC, COMP functions. |
| DVCC / DVSS | Main digital/analog power pair | DVCC requires 4.7–10 µF bulk + 0.1 µF ceramic bypass; DVSS connects to thermal pad for thermal and noise performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar capacitive touch microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2675TRHAT | 32KB + 512B FRAM, 6KB RAM, same 40-pin VQFN package and CapTIvate peripheral set. | Supports identical electrode count (16 self/64 mutual) but reduced firmware storage and buffer space for complex UI logic. | Select when application firmware size <32KB and RAM usage ≤6KB; maintains identical pinout and layout compatibility. |
| MSP430FR2676TPT | Same 64KB+512B FRAM and 8KB RAM, but in 48-pin LQFP package with 43 GPIOs and 12 ADC channels. | Offers 2 additional ADC inputs and 8 more GPIOs-suitable for designs requiring analog sensor expansion or extra control signals. | Choose when board layout allows larger package and additional analog/digital I/O is required; not pin-compatible with RHA. |
Compared with MSP430FR2675TRHAT, the MSP430FR2676TRHAT provides double FRAM capacity for over-the-air updates and richer UI assets; versus MSP430FR2676TPT, it trades 8 GPIOs and 2 ADC channels for smaller footprint and lower assembly cost-critical for space-constrained consumer remotes and smart locks.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MSP430FR2676TRHAT?
The MSP430FR2676TRHAT operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. The minimum 1.8 V limit is enforced by the Supply Voltage Supervisor (SVS) thresholds-operation below this voltage is not guaranteed and may result in undefined behavior or memory corruption. At 3.6 V, the device supports maximum CPU frequency (16 MHz) and full analog peripheral performance.
How many capacitive touch channels does the MSP430FR2676TRHAT support in its 40-pin VQFN package?
The MSP430FR2676TRHAT supports up to 16 self-capacitance and 64 mutual-capacitance electrodes regardless of package variant. In the 40-pin VQFN (RHA) package, all 16 CapTIvate channels (CAP0.0–CAP3.3) are fully accessible via dedicated pins-enabling full utilization of the hardware engine's concurrent scanning capability.
Does the MSP430FR2676TRHAT include hardware acceleration for touch sensing?
Yes, the MSP430FR2676TRHAT includes a dedicated hardware CapTIvate module that performs electrode scanning, spread-spectrum modulation, automatic tuning, noise filtering, and threshold detection without CPU involvement. This enables <0.9 µA/button wake-on-touch operation in LPM3 and eliminates firmware latency in high-noise environments.
What development tools are officially supported for the MSP430FR2676TRHAT?
Texas Instruments officially supports the MSP-CAPT-FR2633 CapTIvate Technology Development Kit, CAPTIVATE-PGMR programmer, and MSP430FR2676-specific target board (CAPTIVATE-FR2676). The CapTIvate Design Center PC GUI provides real-time tuning, and the 16KB ROM library includes production-ready touch drivers-both validated for the MSP430FR2676TRHAT.
Is the MSP430FR2676TRHAT pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR267x family?
The MSP430FR2676TRHAT shares the same 40-pin VQFN (RHA) footprint and pin assignments with MSP430FR2675TRHAT, making them pin-compatible drop-in alternatives. However, it is not pin-compatible with the 48-pin LQFP (TPT) or 32-pin VQFN (RHB) variants due to differing pin counts and signal allocations.
