Product details
Overview
MSP430FR6922IG56R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit FRAM microcontroller featuring 64KB nonvolatile 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 supports real-time clock (RTC) operation at 0.35 µA in LPM3.5 mode. Designed for battery-powered utility meters and portable medical devices, it integrates capacitive touch I/O without external components.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR6922IG56R datasheet, MSP430FR6922IG56R pinout, MSP430FR6922IG56R application, or MSP430FR6922IG56R equivalent, key selection criteria include FRAM endurance (1015 write cycles), RTC current draw, LCD segment count (116), AES256 support, and TSSOP-56 package compatibility with space-constrained metering designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR6922IG56R 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 combines DCO with factory-trimmed frequencies, LFXT (32-kHz crystal), and VLO-no HFXT support per device family specification.
Peripherals include dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI up to 10 Mbps) and dual eUSCI_B (I²C/multi-slave addressing/SPI), three 16-bit timers (TA0–TA3, TB0), 32-bit hardware multiplier, CRC16/CRC32, and DMA controller with three channels-all operating within the same ultra-low-power envelope as the core.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR6922IPMR | LQFP-64 package (10 mm × 10 mm); adds 3 more I/O pins vs. TSSOP-56; same FRAM, ADC, LCD, and AES specs | Better suited for designs requiring higher I/O count or easier rework/reflow; not pin-compatible with TSSOP-56 footprint | Select when board layout allows larger package and additional GPIOs are needed for expansion interfaces or redundancy |
| MSP430FR69221IG56R | I²C-based bootloader (BSL) instead of UART BSL; identical FRAM, peripherals, and power specs | Required where host-side programming uses I²C only; incompatible with UART-based field update infrastructure | Choose only if production programming infrastructure mandates I²C BSL - otherwise MSP430FR6922IG56R offers broader toolchain compatibility |
Compared with MSP430FR6922IPMR, the MSP430FR6922IG56R saves 32% PCB area in TSSOP-56 but trades 6 I/Os; versus MSP430FR69221IG56R, it retains UART BSL for universal firmware recovery in field-deployed utility endpoints.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430FR6922IG56R?
The MSP430FR6922IG56R supports a maximum CPU clock frequency of 16 MHz, enabled by its factory-trimmed DCO oscillator. This frequency is fully operational across the entire 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range and all temperature grades specified in the datasheet. The device maintains deterministic timing at this rate while sustaining ultra-low active-mode current of approximately 100 µA/MHz.
Does the MSP430FR6922IG56R support hardware AES encryption?
Yes, the MSP430FR6922IG56R includes a dedicated 128/256-bit AES security coprocessor. This hardware accelerator performs encryption and decryption independently of the CPU, reducing firmware overhead and improving throughput for secure boot, encrypted telemetry, and firmware update validation. AES256 support is confirmed for all MSP430FR69xx devices, including the MSP430FR6922IG56R.
What LCD configuration does the MSP430FR6922IG56R support?
The MSP430FR6922IG56R integrates an LCD_C peripheral supporting up to 116 segments in static, 2-, 3-, or 4-mux configurations. It provides programmable contrast control, charge pump, and dedicated segment/COM pin mapping. The TSSOP-56 package exposes pins for up to 100 segments (DGG variant), matching the 116-segment capability documented for the family - verified in the device comparison table and functional block diagram.
Is the MSP430FR6922IG56R pin-compatible with other MSP430FR692x variants in TSSOP-56?
Yes, the MSP430FR6922IG56R shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions with other MSP430FR692x devices in the 56-pin DGG (TSSOP-56) package, including MSP430FR69221IG56R and MSP430FR6920IG56R. Pin assignments, multiplexing options, and reset default states are consistent across this package group per TI's Terminal Configuration documentation.
What crystal frequency is required for the RTC on the MSP430FR6922IG56R?
The MSP430FR6922IG56R requires a 32.768-kHz tuning-fork crystal connected to PJ.4 (LFXIN) and PJ.5 (LFXOUT) for accurate real-time clock operation. This low-frequency crystal enables the RTC to maintain calendar and alarm functions in LPM3.5 mode at 0.35 µA typical current draw. No high-frequency crystal (HFXT) support is implemented in the MSP430FR692x family.
