Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5858IRHAR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 48KB nonvolatile memory, 2KB RAM, and integrated 12-bit ADC (14 external + 2 internal channels), RTC, and dual eUSCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI + I²C/SPI). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and metering applications requiring fast write endurance and sub-µA standby current.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5858IRHAR datasheet, MSP430FR5858IRHAR pinout, MSP430FR5858IRHAR application, or MSP430FR5858IRHAR equivalent, key selection criteria include HFXT oscillator support (not LFXT), 40-pin VQFN package, 48KB FRAM size, RTC_B availability, and UART-based BSL compatibility - all confirmed for this exact variant.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5858IRHAR implements the CPUXV2 16-bit RISC core with up to 16 MHz operation, paired with a flexible clock system featuring DCO, HFXT (high-frequency crystal), and VLO. Its low-power architecture supports seven LPMs, including LPM3.5 (RTC active, 0.25 µA typical) and LPM4.5 (shutdown, 0.02 µA typical).
Peripherals include five 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), 3-channel DMA, 16-channel analog comparator, hardware CRC16, 32-bit MPY, and capacitive touch I/O on all pins. The device lacks LFXT and RTC_B in LF-only variants, but MSP430FR5858IRHAR explicitly supports HFXT and includes RTC_B per family documentation and pinout validation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR5859IRHAR | 64 KB FRAM, same package and peripheral set - differs only in memory size and ordering code. | Preferred where extended firmware features or larger data buffers are needed without changing layout. | Select when future firmware expansion or longer data retention periods justify higher memory cost. |
| MSP430FR5848IRHAR | 48 KB FRAM but LFXT-only (no HFXT pins); no RTC_B; 14 ADC external channels (vs. 14+2). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, low-frequency timing applications (e.g., basic thermostats) where HFXT precision is unnecessary. | Choose only if HFXT and RTC_B are not required - pinout differs (PJ.6/PJ.7 unused), requiring PCB redesign. |
Compared with MSP430FR5859IRHAR, MSP430FR5858IRHAR trades 16 KB FRAM for lower cost while retaining identical HFXT, RTC_B, and peripheral functionality; versus MSP430FR5848IRHAR, it adds HFXT support and RTC_B at the expense of LFXT compatibility - making it the optimal choice for time-critical, high-accuracy sensor systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5858IRHAR?
The MSP430FR5858IRHAR supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 16 MHz, achieved using the integrated DCO or an external HFXT crystal (4–24 MHz). This frequency is fully supported across the entire 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range, enabling deterministic real-time response in time-critical sensor fusion tasks executed on the MSP430FR5858IRHAR.
Does the MSP430FR5858IRHAR include a real-time clock (RTC) module?
Yes, the MSP430FR5858IRHAR includes the RTC_B module with calendar and alarm functions, clocked by the HFXT oscillator. Unlike LFXT-dependent variants, this RTC operates reliably with the high-frequency crystal, supporting precise timekeeping and scheduled wake-up from LPM3.5 at 0.25 µA typical - a confirmed feature of the MSP430FR5858IRHAR per device comparison tables and functional block diagrams.
What package type and pin count does the MSP430FR5858IRHAR use?
The MSP430FR5858IRHAR uses a 40-pin VQFN package (RHA suffix), measuring 6 mm × 6 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package is validated in TI's official mechanical drawings and matches the pinout shown in Figure 4-4 of the SLASE34E datasheet - confirming PJ.6/HFXIN and PJ.7/HFXOUT as active, HFXT-specific terminals on the MSP430FR5858IRHAR.
How much FRAM and RAM does the MSP430FR5858IRHAR provide?
The MSP430FR5858IRHAR integrates 48 KB of ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) and 2 KB of SRAM. The FRAM serves as unified nonvolatile memory for code, data, and logging - offering 125 ns write speed and 10¹⁵ endurance. The SRAM provides volatile working memory for stack and runtime variables. These values are explicitly listed in Table 3-1 (Device Comparison) for MSP430FR5858 in the SLASE34E datasheet.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the MSP430FR5858IRHAR?
The MSP430FR5858IRHAR supports two enhanced universal serial communication interfaces: eUSCI_A0 and eUSCI_A1 (UART, IrDA, SPI) and eUSCI_B0 (I²C, SPI). It also includes hardware UART and I²C bootloaders (BSL). UART-based BSL uses P2.0 (TX) and P2.1 (RX), while I²C BSL uses P1.6 (SDA) and P1.7 (SCL) - all verified in the Signal Descriptions table and Pin Diagrams for the MSP430FR5858IRHAR.
