Overview
MSP430FR5735IRHAR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 8KB FRAM nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, 24-MHz system clock, 12-channel 10-bit ADC, and 16-channel analog comparator - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes for home automation and security systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5735IRHAR datasheet, MSP430FR5735IRHAR pinout, MSP430FR5735IRHAR application, or MSP430FR5735IRHAR equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), RTC with crystal support in LPM3.5 (1.5 µA), active-mode current (81.4 µA/MHz), and 40-pin VQFN (RHA) package compatibility with TI's MSP-TS430RHA40A target board.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5735IRHAR integrates a 16-bit CPUXV2 core with seven low-power modes, including LPM4.5 (0.32 µA shutdown) and RTC-enabled LPM3.5 (1.5 µA).

FAQ
What is the FRAM endurance specification for MSP430FR5735IRHAR?
The MSP430FR5735IRHAR features ferroelectric RAM with 1015 write cycle endurance - orders of magnitude higher than flash memory. This enables frequent data logging (e.g., sensor readings every second) for decades without memory wear-out. The MSP430FR5735IRHAR achieves this while maintaining 125 ns per word write speed and zero erase latency.
Does MSP430FR5735IRHAR support real-time clock operation with external 32-kHz crystal?
Yes, the MSP430FR5735IRHAR supports RTC operation with external 32-kHz crystal connected to PJ.4/XIN and PJ.5/XOUT pins. In LPM3.5 mode, it draws only 1.5 µA typical - enabling calendar-based wake-up and timestamping without external RTC IC. The MSP430FR5735IRHAR also includes built-in crystal oscillator circuitry with automatic gain control.
What debug interface does MSP430FR5735IRHAR use?
The MSP430FR5735IRHAR uses the two-pin Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins. This allows full JTAG-equivalent debugging and programming using TI's MSP-FET430U40A or low-cost MSP-EXP430FR5739 launchpad. The MSP430FR5735IRHAR does not require external voltage for programming - serial onboard programming operates from the VCC supply.
How many analog-to-digital converter channels does MSP430FR5735IRHAR provide?
The MSP430FR5735IRHAR integrates a 10-bit ADC (ADC10_B) with 12 external input channels (A0–A11) plus 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VCC/2 reference). It samples at up to 200 ksps with 100 µA active current. All channels are accessible on the 40-pin RHA package, including P1.x, P2.x, and P3.x pins designated for analog inputs.
Is MSP430FR5735IRHAR pin-compatible with other devices in the FR573x family?
Yes, the MSP430FR5735IRHAR shares identical pinout and package dimensions (40-pin VQFN, RHA) with MSP430FR5739IRHAR, MSP430FR5737IRHAR, and MSP430FR5733IRHAR. This enables direct substitution within the same footprint for design flexibility - for example, upgrading to 16 KB FRAM (MSP430FR5739IRHAR) without PCB revision. Pin functions match across all RHA-package variants.
