Product details
Overview
MSP430FR6922IG56 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller in a 56-pin TSSOP package, featuring 64KB FRAM, 2KB RAM, 12-bit ADC with 8 external channels, integrated 116-segment LCD driver, and AES256 encryption coprocessor. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered utility meters and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR6922IG56 datasheet, MSP430FR6922IG56 pinout, MSP430FR6922IG56 application, or MSP430FR6922IG56 equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 writes), RTC current draw (0.35 µA in LPM3.5), LCD segment count (116), AES256 support, and TSSOP-56 package compatibility for space-constrained metering designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR6922IG56 implements a 16-bit CPUXV2 core with seven low-power modes, including LPM3.5 (RTC active) and LPM4.5 (shutdown at 0.04 µA). Its clock system integrates DCO, LFXT (32-kHz crystal), and VLO - but excludes HFXT, confirming absence of high-frequency crystal support per device family documentation.
Peripherals include dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI) and dual eUSCI_B (I²C/SPI) modules, three 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), 32-bit hardware multiplier, CRC16/CRC32 engines, and capacitive touch I/O on all ports without external components - all mapped to its 56-pin DGG package with verified pin assignments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR6922IPM | 64-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm); identical FRAM, peripherals, and electrical specs. | Better thermal dissipation and higher I/O count (51 vs. 46 usable pins); suited for prototyping or designs needing more GPIO. | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and additional I/O is required for expansion or debugging. |
| MSP430FR69221IG56 | Same TSSOP-56 package and pinout; differs only in bootloader type (I²C BSL vs. UART BSL on MSP430FR6922IG56). | No functional difference in runtime operation; BSL interface affects factory programming method only. | Choose based on production programming infrastructure - UART BSL simplifies field updates via serial interface. |
Compared with MSP430FR6922IPM, the MSP430FR6922IG56 saves 34% board area but sacrifices 5 GPIOs; versus MSP430FR69221IG56, it enables UART-based bootloader access without requiring I²C host coordination during firmware deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR6922IG56?
The MSP430FR6922IG56 supports a maximum system clock frequency of 16 MHz via its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). This frequency is factory-trimmed across 10 selectable settings and can be further calibrated using the built-in reference. The device does not support HFXT (high-frequency crystal), so external crystals above 32 kHz are not used - all timing derives from DCO, LFXT, or VLO sources. MSP430FR6922IG56 maintains full functionality and specification compliance at 16 MHz within its 1.8 V–3.6 V supply range.
Does the MSP430FR6922IG56 support hardware AES encryption?
Yes, the MSP430FR6922IG56 includes a dedicated 128/256-bit AES security coprocessor that performs encryption and decryption in hardware, offloading the CPU and reducing latency. This module supports standard AES-128 and AES-256 algorithms and is accessible via memory-mapped registers. Unlike lower-tier variants (e.g., MSP430FR682x), the MSP430FR6922IG56 explicitly implements AES256 per the device comparison table and functional block diagram - making it suitable for secure firmware updates and encrypted data logging in utility metering applications.
How many I/O pins are available on the MSP430FR6922IG56 in the TSSOP-56 package?
The MSP430FR6922IG56 in the TSSOP-56 (DGG) package provides 46 usable general-purpose I/O pins. This count excludes power (DVCC/DVSS/AVCC/AVSS), crystal (LFXIN/LFXOUT), debug (TEST/RST), and dedicated function pins (e.g., LCDCAP, LCDREF). Pin multiplexing allows each I/O to serve multiple roles - including capacitive touch, timer capture/compare, UART, I²C, and ADC inputs - with configuration controlled via port register settings. All 46 pins support programmable pullup/pulldown and edge-selectable wakeup from low-power modes.
What LCD segment drive capability does the MSP430FR6922IG56 offer?
The MSP430FR6922IG56 integrates an LCD_C peripheral supporting up to 116 segments in static, 2-, 3-, or 4-mux configurations. In the TSSOP-56 package, it drives up to 100 segments due to pin count limitations - confirmed by the Device Comparison table showing "116 seg / 100 seg (DGG)" for LCD_C. Contrast is adjustable via software-controlled charge pump voltage, and the module operates independently in LPM3.5, allowing display updates while the CPU remains asleep - a key feature for battery-powered thermostats and meters using MSP430FR6922IG56.
Is the MSP430FR6922IG56 pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430FR69xx family?
The MSP430FR6922IG56 is pin-compatible with other TSSOP-56 variants in the same family - specifically MSP430FR69221IG56, MSP430FR6920IG56, and MSP430FR682xIG56 - sharing identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions. Differences between these parts lie solely in memory size (32KB vs. 64KB FRAM), bootloader type (UART vs. I²C BSL), and AES inclusion (present in MSP430FR692x, absent in MSP430FR682x). No PCB redesign is needed when migrating among these DGG-package devices, provided firmware accounts for memory and peripheral variations. MSP430FR6922IG56 remains fully compatible at the hardware level.
