Product details
Overview
MSP430FR58471IRHAT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit FRAM microcontroller with 32KB nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, 14-channel 12-bit ADC, RTC with calendar/alarm, and I²C-capable eUSCI_B0 interface. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes requiring long-term data retention without flash wear-out.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR58471IRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR58471IRHAT pinout, MSP430FR58471IRHAT application, or MSP430FR58471IRHAT equivalent, key selection criteria include its LFXT-only clock architecture (no HFXT), 40-pin VQFN RHA package, I²C BSL support on P1.6/P1.7, real-time clock operation at 0.25 µA in LPM3.5, and capacitive touch I/O on all pins without external components.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR58471IRHAT implements the ULP CPUXV2 core with 16 registers and integrates a 32-bit hardware multiplier, 3-channel DMA, and a 16-bit CRC module. Its clock system relies exclusively on the low-frequency crystal oscillator (LFXT) - LFXIN/LFXOUT pins are functional, while HFXIN/HFXOUT are not present in this variant.
Peripherals include five 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), RTC_B with calendar and alarm, 16-channel analog comparator (Comp_E), and dual eUSCI modules: eUSCI_A0 supports UART/IrDA/SPI, while eUSCI_B0 supports I²C (multi-address) and SPI - matching the "I2C" designation in Table 3-1 for MSP430FR58471.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR5847IRHAT | Identical FRAM/RAM/timer/ADC specs but features UART BSL (P2.0/P2.1) instead of I²C BSL | Requires UART interface for firmware updates; lacks native I²C slave capability on boot pins | Select when UART infrastructure already exists and I²C BSL is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR58471IRHAT?
The MSP430FR58471IRHAT supports a maximum system clock frequency of 16 MHz using its factory-trimmed DCO or external LFXT. It does not support HFXT, so high-frequency crystal operation is unavailable. This 16-MHz capability enables responsive real-time control while maintaining ultra-low active-mode current of ~100 µA/MHz - a key advantage for compute-bound sensor firmware on the MSP430FR58471IRHAT.
Does the MSP430FR58471IRHAT support hardware encryption or secure boot?
The MSP430FR58471IRHAT does not integrate AES hardware acceleration or secure boot circuitry. It includes a random number seed generator for software-based cryptographic primitives but lacks dedicated encryption engines or immutable boot ROM. Security relies on software implementation and memory protection unit (MPU) configuration - users must implement secure key storage and authenticated firmware updates externally when required for the MSP430FR58471IRHAT.
Can the MSP430FR58471IRHAT operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430FR58471IRHAT operates across a supply range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including FRAM read/write, 12-bit ADC conversion, RTC operation, and I²C communication - verified per TI's recommended operating conditions. This makes the MSP430FR58471IRHAT suitable for direct connection to single-cell lithium batteries or energy-harvesting circuits without voltage boosting.
What development tools are supported for the MSP430FR58471IRHAT?
Texas Instruments supports the MSP430FR58471IRHAT with Code Composer Studio IDE, MSP430Ware driver library, and EnergyTrace++ technology for real-time power profiling. Hardware tools include the MSP-FET debugger and the MSP-TS430RGZ48C target socket board - though the latter is designed for 48-pin packages, adapter boards exist for 40-pin RHA devices like the MSP430FR58471IRHAT.
Is the RTC on the MSP430FR58471IRHAT functional without an external crystal?
No - the RTC_B module on the MSP430FR58471IRHAT requires the 32.768 kHz low-frequency crystal connected to PJ.4 (LFXIN) and PJ.5 (LFXOUT). The device lacks an internal low-frequency RC oscillator capable of RTC-grade accuracy; VLO is only usable for LPM3 standby (0.4 µA), not calendar-mode RTC. Accurate timekeeping on the MSP430FR58471IRHAT depends on proper crystal layout and load capacitance matching.
