Product Overview

The MSP430FR2433 is a Texas Instruments mixed-signal FRAM microcontroller built around a 16-bit RISC core. The device supports clock frequencies up to 16 MHz and operates across a 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range, with the minimum supply voltage restricted by SVS levels. Low-power operating points include 126 µA/MHz typical active current, standby current below 1 µA with VLO, 730 nA typical LPM3.5 RTC current with a 32768-Hz crystal, and 16 nA typical shutdown current in LPM4.5.

On-chip memory includes up to 15.5 KB FRAM, with the MSP430FR2433 family member providing 15 KB program FRAM, 512 B information FRAM, and 4 KB SRAM. FRAM features include 10^15 write-cycle endurance, built-in ECC, configurable write protection, and up to a 4:1 FRAM-to-SRAM ratio.

Integrated peripherals include a 10-bit ADC with 8 channels, 200 ksps sample-and-hold, and a 1.5 V internal reference. Communications are handled by two eUSCI_A modules for UART, IrDA, and SPI plus one eUSCI_B module for SPI and I2C. Package options are MSP430FR2433IRGE in VQFN-24 and MSP430FR2433IYQW in DSBGA-24.
