Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5724IPW from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 8KB FRAM nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including a 10-bit ADC (6 external + 2 internal channels), 10-channel analog comparator, three eUSCI modules (two UART/SPI-capable, one I²C/SPI-capable), five 16-bit timers, RTC, and hardware multiplier - deployed in battery-powered sensor management and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5724IPW datasheet, MSP430FR5724IPW pinout, MSP430FR5724IPW application, or MSP430FR5724IPW equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ write cycles), LPM3.5 RTC current (1.5 µA), 28-pin TSSOP package footprint, and compatibility with TI's MSP-FET430U40A debug interface and Code Composer Studio IDE.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5724IPW implements the MSP430 CPUXV2 core with 16-bit RISC architecture, operating up to 8 MHz across a 2 V–3.6 V supply range. Its power management system includes an integrated LDO, SVS with reset capability, and zero-power brownout detection - enabling robust operation in energy-constrained environments.
Peripherals are tightly coupled via a three-channel DMA controller and share clock domains (MCLK, SMCLK, ACLK) sourced from DCO, VLO, LFXT, or HFXT. The FRAM memory subsystem features built-in ECC, MPU protection, and unified program/data/storage addressing - eliminating separate flash/EEPROM partitions and enabling atomic writes without erase cycles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5724IPW?
The MSP430FR5724IPW operates at up to 8 MHz using its factory-trimmed DCO oscillator or external crystals. This frequency is fully supported across the entire specified voltage range (2 V–3.6 V) and temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), enabling deterministic real-time execution for time-critical sensor sampling and control loops without performance derating.
Does the MSP430FR5724IPW support hardware UART bootloading?
Yes, the MSP430FR5724IPW includes a hardware UART bootloader (BSL) accessible via eUSCI_A0 or eUSCI_A1. It requires no external voltage supply and supports in-system programming through standard UART signals - enabling field firmware updates without dedicated debug hardware, provided the BSL memory segment remains unmodified in the application.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430FR5724IPW provide in the TSSOP-28 package?
The MSP430FR5724IPW in the TSSOP-28 (PW) package provides 17 general-purpose I/O pins, distributed across Ports P1, P2, and PJ. These include configurable digital I/O with interrupt and wake-up capability from all low-power modes, plus multiplexed functions for timers, ADC, comparators, and serial interfaces - matching the pin count specified in Table 3-1 of the SLASE35C datasheet.
What is the FRAM endurance rating for the MSP430FR5724IPW?
The MSP430FR5724IPW features 8KB of FRAM rated for 10¹⁵ write cycles per word - orders of magnitude higher than flash or EEPROM. This enables continuous data logging, configuration updates, or firmware patching without wear-out concerns, even in applications requiring writes every second over multi-year deployments.
Can the MSP430FR5724IPW operate from a single 3-V coin cell battery?
Yes, the MSP430FR5724IPW operates across 2 V–3.6 V, making it fully compatible with standard 3-V lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032). Its LPM4.5 shutdown current of 0.32 µA and RTC-active LPM3.5 current of 1.5 µA allow multi-year operation on a single cell - validated under recommended operating conditions in Section 5.3 of the SLASE35C datasheet.
