Overview

The MSP-EXP430FR2433 is a LaunchPad development kit based on the MSP430FR2433 microcontroller featuring 15.5KB of Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM). This low-power 16-bit RISC MCU platform is designed to provide a unified memory block that combines the speed and endurance of RAM with the non-volatility of Flash.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of 15.5KB of FRAM allows for significantly faster and lower-power writes compared to traditional Flash, with nearly unlimited write cycles. The board features onboard EnergyTrace Technology and an eZ-FET debug probe, enabling real-time power profiling and debugging without external hardware.

Applications

Temperature Data Logger
Utilizes the high-endurance FRAM for frequent data writes and the 10-bit ADC for sensor interfacing.
Battery-Powered Remote Sensors
Leverages LPM3.5 ultra-low power modes to extend operating life in energy-constrained environments.
Real-Time Temperature Sensing
Uses the 8-channel ADC and low-power timers to monitor environmental conditions with minimal overhead.
