Product details
Overview
MSP430FR5969IRGZT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 64KB ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), 2KB SRAM, 16-channel 12-bit ADC, real-time clock (RTC) with calendar, and dual eUSCI modules supporting UART, SPI, and I²C. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets energy-constrained applications such as smart metering and wearable sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR5969IRGZT datasheet, MSP430FR5969IRGZT pinout, MSP430FR5969IRGZT application, or MSP430FR5969IRGZT equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), LPM3.5 current (0.25 µA typical), RTC calendar support, 48-pin VQFN package compatibility, and integrated AES-256 encryption for secure firmware updates.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR5969IRGZT implements the CPUXV2 core with 16 general-purpose registers and executes instructions at up to 16 MHz using a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) or external HFXT/LFXT crystals. Its memory subsystem unifies program, data, and storage in 64KB FRAM-enabling instant nonvolatile writes without erase cycles and eliminating flash wear-out concerns.
Peripherals include five 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), a 32-bit hardware multiplier, three-channel DMA, 16-channel analog comparator, and capacitive touch I/O on all pins. The RTC_B module requires LFXT (32 kHz crystal) and supports alarm/calendar functions in LPM3.5 mode at 0.25 µA.
