Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5723IDAR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 8KB FRAM nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, and a 16-channel analog comparator. It operates from 2 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 85°C and supports real-time clock (RTC) with calendar/alarm in LPM3.5 at 1.5 µA, targeting battery-powered sensor management and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5723IDAR datasheet, MSP430FR5723IDAR pinout, MSP430FR5723IDAR application, or MSP430FR5723IDAR equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ write cycles), integrated RTC with crystal support, dual eUSCI modules (UART/I²C/SPI), and low-power mode current specs - especially LPM4.5 shutdown at 0.32 µA.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5723IDAR implements the MSP430 CPUXV2 core with 16-bit RISC architecture, factory-trimmed DCO up to 8 MHz, and seven low-power modes optimized for extended battery life. Its FRAM replaces both flash and RAM, enabling unified memory space with ECC and MPU protection.
Peripherals include three 16-bit timers (Timer_A ×2, Timer_B ×3), 10-bit ADC10_B (12 external + 2 internal channels, 200 ksps), hardware multiplier, 3-channel DMA, and dual eUSCI modules: eUSCI_A0/A1 support UART/IrDA/SPI; eUSCI_B0 supports I²C/SPI. The device lacks on-chip ADC input channels beyond A0–A5 and CD0–CD5 per package constraints.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR5725IDAR | 16KB FRAM, 12 external ADC channels, 32-pin RHA package | Higher memory and ADC channel count suits complex sensor fusion or firmware-over-the-air updates | Select when >8KB program/data storage or additional analog inputs are required |
| MSP430FR5724IRGER | 8KB FRAM, 24-pin VQFN, 10-channel Comparator_D, no RTC crystal pins (LFXT) | Smaller footprint and lower pin count; lacks RTC crystal support - limited to VLO-based timing | Choose for space-constrained designs where crystal-based RTC is unnecessary |
Compared with MSP430FR5725IDAR, the MSP430FR5723IDAR trades FRAM capacity and ADC channels for cost and pin-count efficiency; versus MSP430FR5724IRGER, it retains full RTC crystal capability and larger TSSOP package for easier prototyping and thermal management.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5723IDAR?
The MSP430FR5723IDAR features a factory-trimmed DCO oscillator supporting up to 8 MHz operation. This frequency is achievable across the full supply range (2 V to 3.6 V) and temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), enabling deterministic real-time performance for time-critical sensor sampling and communication tasks within the MSP430FR5723IDAR's power budget.
Does the MSP430FR5723IDAR support crystal-based real-time clock operation?
Yes, the MSP430FR5723IDAR supports crystal-based RTC operation using the LFXT oscillator with a 32-kHz crystal connected to PJ.4/XIN and PJ.5/XOUT. In LPM3.5 mode, this configuration achieves 1.5 µA typical current consumption while maintaining calendar and alarm functionality - a key capability confirmed in the SLASE35C datasheet for the MSP430FR5723IDAR.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430FR5723IDAR ADC support?
The MSP430FR5723IDAR integrates the ADC10_B module with six external analog input channels (A0 through A5), plus two internal references (temperature sensor and VMID). This is confirmed in Table 3-1 of the datasheet, which specifies "–" for ADC channels on MSP430FR5723 - indicating no additional external channels beyond the base A0–A5 set supported by the DA-package variant of the MSP430FR5723IDAR.
What debug interface does the MSP430FR5723IDAR use?
The MSP430FR5723IDAR uses the 2-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins for programming and debugging. This interface is fully compatible with MSP-FET430U40A and MSP-TS430RHA40A tools, and requires no external voltage - enabling in-system debug and flash programming directly through the MSP430FR5723IDAR's dedicated SBW pins.
Is hardware UART bootloader (BSL) available on the MSP430FR5723IDAR?
No, the MSP430FR5723IDAR does not include hardware UART bootloader (BSL) support. As documented in Section 1.1 of SLASE35C, BSL is explicitly listed under "MSP430FR5729, MSP430FR5728, MSP430FR5727, MSP430FR5726, MSP430FR5725" but omitted for MSP430FR5724/MSP430FR5723 variants. Bootloading must be implemented via SBW or custom firmware using eUSCI peripherals on the MSP430FR5723IDAR.
