Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5724IPWR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 8 KB nonvolatile memory, 1 KB SRAM, and integrated 10-bit ADC (6 external + 2 internal channels), 16-channel comparator, dual eUSCI modules (UART/I²C/SPI), and five 16-bit timers - designed for battery-powered sensor management and data acquisition in industrial and building automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5724IPWR datasheet, MSP430FR5724IPWR pinout, MSP430FR5724IPWR application, or MSP430FR5724IPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), LPM3.5 RTC current (1.5 µA), 2–3.6 V supply range, 24-pin TSSOP package compatibility, and peripheral mix supporting low-duty-cycle sensing with fast wake-up and zero-external-voltage programming.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5724IPWR implements the MSP430xV2 CPU core with unified FRAM memory architecture enabling simultaneous read/write, hardware CRC engine for data integrity, and three-channel DMA to offload CPU during ADC or serial transfers. Its clock system integrates DCO (up to 8 MHz), VLO, LFXT (32 kHz crystal), and HFXT support - all managed via PMM with SVS and BOR for robust operation across temperature and voltage variation.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to low-power modes: eUSCI_A0/A1 and eUSCI_B0 retain functionality in LPM3, RTC operates with crystal in LPM3.5, and comparator_D supports windowed wake-up without CPU intervention. The device lacks Timer_B instances beyond TB0, distinguishing it from higher-pin-count variants like MSP430FR5729.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| FRAM Size | 8 KB - unified nonvolatile memory for code, data, and logging; eliminates flash erase latency and enables byte-level writes. |
| SRAM Size | 1 KB - volatile working memory for stack, variables, and real-time buffers; retained in LPM3/LPM3.5. |
| ADC Resolution & Channels | 10-bit, 6 external + 2 internal analog inputs - supports direct sensor interfacing with internal reference and sample-and-hold. |
| Ultra-Low-Power Modes | LPM3.5 (RTC + crystal): 1.5 µA typical - enables calendar-based wake-up with sub-µA quiescent current. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-SOCl₂, and dual-cell alkaline battery systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including HVAC controls and metering endpoints. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (PW), 9.7 mm × 4.4 mm body, exposed thermal pad recommended to be connected to DVSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P1.0/TA0.1/DMAE0/RTCCLK/A0*/CD0/VeREF- | Multi-function I/O | Primary RTC calibration output, ADC channel A0 input, comparator CD0, and DMA trigger source - critical for time-synchronized sensing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5724IPWR?
The MSP430FR5724IPWR supports a maximum system clock frequency of 8 MHz, achieved via its factory-trimmed DCO oscillator. This frequency is sufficient for real-time sensor processing, UART communication at standard baud rates (e.g., 115.2 kbps), and ADC sampling up to 200 ksps. The device maintains timing accuracy across its full –40°C to +85°C operating range without external crystal dependency for core operation.
Does the MSP430FR5724IPWR support hardware UART bootloading?
Yes, the MSP430FR5724IPWR includes a factory-programmed hardware UART bootloader (BSL) accessible via eUSCI_A0 or eUSCI_A1. It requires no external voltage supply and supports firmware updates over UART using standard TI BSL protocols. The BSL resides in ROM and remains functional even if user code is corrupted, enabling field recovery without JTAG hardware.
How many ADC channels does the MSP430FR5724IPWR support, and what types are available?
The MSP430FR5724IPWR integrates a 10-bit ADC10_B module with six external analog input channels (A0–A5) and two internal channels (temperature sensor and VMID). It supports internal reference (1.5 V or 2.5 V), sample-and-hold, and configurable conversion sequences - enabling direct connection to resistive sensors, thermistors, and voltage dividers without external signal conditioning.
What low-power modes are available on the MSP430FR5724IPWR, and what is the lowest active current?
The MSP430FR5724IPWR offers seven low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4.5). Active mode current is 81.4 µA/MHz (typical); LPM3 (VLO-based) draws 6.3 µA; LPM3.5 (RTC + 32-kHz crystal) draws 1.5 µA; and LPM4.5 (shutdown) draws 0.32 µA. These values are measured at 3 V and 25°C per SLASE35C datasheet Section 5.5.
Is the MSP430FR5724IPWR pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR57xx family?
The MSP430FR5724IPWR uses the 24-pin TSSOP (PW) package and shares pinout compatibility with MSP430FR5720IPW, MSP430FR5722IPW, MSP430FR5726IPW, and MSP430FR5728IPW. All share identical terminal numbering, power, ground, and primary peripheral mappings - enabling drop-in replacement within the PW-package subset when FRAM size or ADC channel count permits.
