Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5847IRHAT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit FRAM microcontroller with 32KB nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, and integrated 12-bit ADC (14 external channels), RTC, and dual eUSCI modules (UART/I²C/SPI). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and data loggers requiring long-term retention without write endurance limits.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5847IRHAT datasheet, MSP430FR5847IRHAT pinout, MSP430FR5847IRHAT application, or MSP430FR5847IRHAT equivalent, key selection factors include its LFXT-only clock system, 40-pin VQFN (RHA) package, RTC_B module with calendar/alarm, FRAM write endurance (10¹⁵ cycles), and capacitive touch I/O support on all pins.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5847IRHAT implements the ULP CPUXV2 core with seven low-power modes, including LPM3.5 (RTC active, 0.25 µA typical) and LPM4.5 (shutdown, 0.02 µA typical). Its FRAM memory architecture enables unified program/data/storage space with 125 ns per-word writes and no erase-before-write overhead.
It integrates a 32-bit hardware multiplier, three-channel DMA, 16-channel analog comparator, and five 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), with eUSCI_A0 supporting UART with auto-baud detection and IrDA, and eUSCI_B0 supporting I²C with multiple slave addressing and SPI.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5847IRHAT?
The MSP430FR5847IRHAT supports a maximum system clock frequency of 16 MHz using its factory-trimmed DCO or external HFXT oscillator. However, this specific variant is LFXT-only (no HFXIN/HFXOUT pins), so its operational clock sources are limited to the DCO and 32-kHz LFXT - meaning the 16-MHz DCO is fully usable, while HFXT-based 16-MHz operation is not supported on the MSP430FR5847IRHAT.
Does the MSP430FR5847IRHAT support hardware UART bootloading?
Yes, the MSP430FR5847IRHAT supports hardware UART bootloading via the eUSCI_A0 module. Pins P2.0 (UCA0TXD) and P2.1 (UCA0RXD) serve as BSLTX and BSLRX, enabling firmware updates over UART without requiring JTAG hardware - a key feature confirmed in the device's BSL documentation and pin multiplexing table.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430FR5847IRHAT ADC support?
The MSP430FR5847IRHAT integrates the ADC12_B module with support for up to 14 external analog input channels (A0–A15, excluding A6 and A7 which are not routed to the RHA package), plus two internal references. This is explicitly documented in Table 3-1 (Device Comparison) and verified in the Signal Descriptions table for the 40-pin RHA package.
Is the RTC_B module functional on the MSP430FR5847IRHAT?
Yes, the RTC_B module is fully functional on the MSP430FR5847IRHAT. As an MSP430FR5x4x device with LFXT support (PJ.4/LFXIN and PJ.5/LFXOUT present), it meets the requirement stated in Section 1.4: "RTC_B is available only in conjunction with the LF crystal oscillator in MSP430FR5x6x and MSP430FR5x4x devices." Calendar, alarm, and calibration features are enabled.
What is the FRAM endurance specification for the MSP430FR5847IRHAT?
The MSP430FR5847IRHAT provides 10¹⁵ write cycle endurance for its 32KB FRAM - a value specified in the "Ultra-Low-Power Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM)" feature list and confirmed across all MSP430FR58xx family documentation. This exceeds flash-based MCUs by 100× and enables continuous logging without wear-out concerns.
