TIMSP430FR2311IPW20R
Overview
The MSP430FR2311IPW20R is a 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 3.75KB of unified Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM). Operating at up to 16MHz, this ultra-low-power MCU is designed for applications requiring high-endurance non-volatile memory and efficient performance in a small 20-TSSOP package. Its integration of low-leakage analog peripherals makes it particularly suited for battery-powered sensing applications.
Why Choose This Part
The primary advantage is the unified FRAM memory, which offers significantly higher write endurance and lower power consumption compared to traditional Flash or EEPROM. It also features an extremely low shutdown current of 0.032uA and flexible low-power modes to extend battery life. The inclusion of an integrated transimpedance amplifier and various serial interfaces simplifies the design of compact sensor interfaces.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin development, engineers can use the MSP-EXP430FR2311 LaunchPad development kit. Programming and debugging are supported via Code Composer Studio (CCS) or IAR Embedded Workbench using the onboard eZ-FET emulator. Documentation including the MSP430FR2311 User Guide and peripheral driver libraries are available through TI Resource Explorer.
