Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5735IRHAT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 8 KB FRAM nonvolatile memory, 1 KB RAM, and integrated peripherals including a 10-bit ADC (12 external + 2 internal channels), 16-channel analog comparator, five 16-bit timers, dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI) and eUSCI_B (I²C/SPI) modules, RTC with calendar, and hardware multiplier. It operates from 2 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 85°C and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5735IRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR5735IRHAT pinout, MSP430FR5735IRHAT application, or MSP430FR5735IRHAT equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ write cycles), LPM3.5 RTC current (1.5 µA), 200 ksps ADC throughput at 100 µA, and RHA package compatibility with 40-pin QFN layout constraints.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5735IRHAT implements the MSP430xV2 CPU core with 16-bit RISC architecture and executes instructions at up to 8 MHz. Its memory subsystem integrates FRAM for unified program/data/storage with built-in ECC and MPU, eliminating flash erase/write delays and enabling true zero-cycle writes.
Peripherals are managed via three-channel DMA and clocked by a flexible system clock tree supporting DCO (factory-trimmed frequencies), VLO, LFXT (32 kHz crystal), and HFXT. Power management includes SVS, BOR, and zero-power brownout detection, enabling robust operation in energy-constrained environments.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR5738IRHAT | 16 KB FRAM, same RHA package and peripheral set - adds 8 KB nonvolatile storage capacity | Preferred where extended firmware versioning, larger configuration tables, or longer event history are required | Select when FRAM capacity >8 KB is needed without changing PCB layout or software abstraction layer |
| MSP430FR2476TRHBT | 16 KB FRAM, 64 MHz FRAM-optimized CPU, but no RTC_B or comparator_D - uses different clock architecture and reduced analog integration | Suited for higher-throughput control tasks without calendar-aware timing or analog thresholding | Choose for cost-sensitive, compute-intensive applications where RTC and comparator features are unnecessary |
Compared with MSP430FR5738IRHAT, the MSP430FR5735IRHAT trades FRAM capacity for identical analog/peripheral feature parity in the same footprint; versus MSP430FR2476TRHBT, it retains RTC and comparator functionality critical for time-synchronized sensing but operates at lower maximum frequency.

Yes, the MSP430FR5735IRHAT integrates the RTC_B module with full calendar support (year/month/day/hour/minute/second), alarm capability, and dedicated 32-kHz crystal oscillator circuitry. It operates in LPM3.5 mode at 1.5 µA typical current, allowing precise timekeeping and scheduled wake-up events without CPU intervention - a core capability confirmed in the MSP430FR5735IRHAT datasheet Section 1.1 and functional block diagram.
How many analog-to-digital converter channels does the MSP430FR5735IRHAT support?
The MSP430FR5735IRHAT features the ADC10_B module with 12 external analog input channels (A0–A11) and 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VCC/2 reference), totaling 14 configurable inputs. This matches the specification for the FR5735 variant in Table 3-1 of the SLASE35C datasheet and is implemented in the RHA package with dedicated pins P1.0–P1.5, P3.0–P3.3, and internal routing - confirmed for the exact MSP430FR5735IRHAT part number.
What package type and pin count does the MSP430FR5735IRHAT use?
The MSP430FR5735IRHAT is packaged in a 40-pin VQFN (RHA) with 6 mm × 6 mm body size and 0.5-mm pitch. This package includes an exposed thermal pad recommended for connection to DVSS, and supports all 32 GPIO functions documented in the pin diagram for RHA-packaged FR572x/FR573x devices - consistent across TI's official ordering information and mechanical drawings for MSP430FR5735IRHAT.
Is the MSP430FR5735IRHAT pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR57xx family?
Yes, the MSP430FR5735IRHAT shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and signal mapping with other RHA-packaged members including MSP430FR5729IRHAT, MSP430FR5739IRHAT, and MSP430FR5725IRHAT. All use the same 40-pin VQFN layout with functionally equivalent terminal assignments (e.g., P1.x, PJ.x, XIN/XOUT, RST), enabling direct substitution within the same hardware design - verified in Figures 4-1 and Table 4-1 of the SLASE35C datasheet.
