Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5739IDA from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 16KB ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), 1KB SRAM, 24-MHz system clock, 12-channel 10-bit ADC, and dual eUSCI modules supporting UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C. It operates from 2 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 85°C and targets battery-powered sensor nodes requiring nonvolatile memory endurance, real-time clock functionality, and low-active/low-standby current.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5739IDA datasheet, MSP430FR5739IDA pinout, MSP430FR5739IDA application, or MSP430FR5739IDA equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM write endurance (10¹⁵ cycles), RTC-with-calendar support in LPM3.5 (1.5 µA), integrated hardware multiplier, three-channel DMA, and TSSOP-38 package compatibility with legacy MSP430 footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5739IDA implements the MSP430 CPUXV2 core with seven low-power modes, including LPM3.5 (RTC active with crystal) and LPM4.5 (shutdown at 0.32 µA). Its FRAM architecture replaces flash and EEPROM, enabling byte-level writes without erase cycles and eliminating wear leveling overhead.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to power management: the 10-bit ADC achieves 200 ksps at 100 µA; eUSCI_A0/A1 support automatic baud-rate detection and IrDA encoding; eUSCI_B0 supports multi-slave I²C addressing; and five 16-bit timers (three Timer_A, three Timer_B) provide flexible capture/compare and PWM generation with independent clock sources (ACLK, SMCLK, MCLK).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430FR5739IDA?
The MSP430FR5739IDA supports a maximum system clock frequency of 24 MHz, achieved via its factory-trimmed DCO oscillator or external HFXT crystal. This speed enables real-time signal processing tasks such as FFT computation using the integrated 32-bit hardware multiplier while maintaining ultra-low-power operation in active mode (81.4 µA/MHz typical).
Does the MSP430FR5739IDA include a real-time clock with calendar functionality?
Yes, the MSP430FR5739IDA integrates an RTC_B module with full calendar support (year/month/day/hour/minute/second), alarm capability, and dedicated 32-kHz crystal inputs (PJ.4/XIN and PJ.5/XOUT). In LPM3.5 mode with crystal enabled, it consumes only 1.5 µA typical-making it ideal for time-stamped data logging in battery-powered applications.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430FR5739IDA ADC support?
The MSP430FR5739IDA features a 10-bit ADC10_B module with 12 external analog input channels (A0–A11) plus 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VMID), totaling 14 configurable inputs. Channel mapping is fixed per pin assignment (e.g., P1.0 = A0, P1.1 = A1), and all channels share a common sample-and-hold circuit with programmable conversion timing.
What communication interfaces are available on the MSP430FR5739IDA?
The MSP430FR5739IDA provides three enhanced universal serial communication interfaces: eUSCI_A0 and eUSCI_A1 support UART, IrDA, and SPI; eUSCI_B0 supports I²C (with multi-slave addressing) and SPI. These interfaces operate independently, allowing concurrent UART debugging, SPI sensor reads, and I²C display control without resource contention.
Is the MSP430FR5739IDA pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR573x family?
Yes, the MSP430FR5739IDA shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with MSP430FR5731IDA, MSP430FR5733IDA, MSP430FR5735IDA, and MSP430FR5737IDA in the DA (TSSOP-38) package. This enables direct substitution within the same family for memory- or peripheral-scaling design iterations without PCB redesign.
