MSP430FR5867IRGZR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 32KB nonvolatile memory, 1KB RAM, and integrated 12-bit ADC, RTC, and five 16-bit timers. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and supports HFXT/LFXT crystal oscillators. Used in battery-powered data loggers requiring long-term retention and low-active-current operation.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5867IRGZR datasheet, MSP430FR5867IRGZR pinout, MSP430FR5867IRGZR application, or MSP430FR5867IRGZR equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ writes), LPM3.5 current (0.25 µA), RTC calendar support, 48-pin VQFN package, and UART/I²C eUSCI peripherals.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5867IRGZR implements the CPUXV2 16-bit RISC core with hardware multiplier and 3-channel DMA. Its clock system includes DCO (10 factory-trimmed frequencies), VLO, LFXT (32 kHz), and HFXT (up to 16 MHz), enabling precise timing across power modes.
Peripherals include ADC12_B (16 external analog inputs, internal reference), Comp_E (16-channel comparator), RTC_B (calendar/alarm, requires LFXT), and dual eUSCI modules: eUSCI_A0/A1 (UART/IrDA/SPI) and eUSCI_B0 (I²C/SPI). The device lacks AES but includes MPU and IP encapsulation for code security.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR5867IRGZR?
The MSP430FR5867IRGZR supports up to 16 MHz via its high-frequency crystal oscillator (HFXT). Its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) offers 10 factory-trimmed frequencies, with the highest at 16 MHz. This enables real-time processing of sensor data streams while maintaining compatibility with standard UART baud rates and SPI clocking requirements. The device achieves this performance within its 1.8–3.6 V supply range.
Does the MSP430FR5867IRGZR include a real-time clock (RTC) module?
Yes, the MSP430FR5867IRGZR includes the RTC_B module with calendar and alarm functions. It requires an external 32.768 kHz crystal connected to PJ.4/LFXIN and PJ.5/LFXOUT to operate. In LPM3.5 mode, the RTC_B consumes only 0.25 µA typical, enabling precise timekeeping and wake-up scheduling for long-duration battery applications. The RTC clock calibration output is available on P1.0.
What type of nonvolatile memory does the MSP430FR5867IRGZR use, and what are its key advantages?
The MSP430FR5867IRGZR uses ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) - 32 KB of unified, nonvolatile memory. Unlike flash, FRAM supports 125 ns per-word writes, zero write latency, and 10¹⁵ write cycles. It eliminates the need for wear leveling or erase-before-write routines, making it ideal for frequent data logging, firmware updates, and parameter storage in mission-critical embedded systems.
Which communication interfaces are supported by the MSP430FR5867IRGZR?
The MSP430FR5867IRGZR integrates two eUSCI modules: eUSCI_A0 and eUSCI_A1 support UART, IrDA, and SPI; eUSCI_B0 supports I²C and SPI. This allows concurrent use of UART for host debugging and I²C for sensor communication. The BSL (bootloader) uses UART on P2.0/P2.1, and all eUSCI modules support automatic baud-rate detection and hardware flow control.
What is the package type and pin count of the MSP430FR5867IRGZR?
The MSP430FR5867IRGZR is housed in a 48-pin VQFN package (RGZ), measuring 7 mm × 7 mm with an exposed thermal pad. Pinout matches other RGZ-packaged MSP430FR586x devices, ensuring layout compatibility across family variants. TI recommends connecting the thermal pad to DVSS for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
