Overview

The MSP430FR2422IPW16R is a 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 7.5KB of non-volatile Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM). This technology combines the speed and endurance of RAM with the non-volatile properties of Flash, making it ideal for low-power applications requiring frequent data logging.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the integration of FRAM, which offers significantly lower power consumption and higher write endurance than traditional Flash. It also features a flexible 10-bit ADC with five channels and unified memory architecture for efficient code and data storage management.

Applications

Battery-Powered Data Loggers
Utilizes 10^15 write cycle endurance to record sensor data frequently without wearing out memory.
Energy Harvesting Systems
Leverages low active current (120 uA/MHz) and fast FRAM wake-up times to operate on minimal harvested power.
Tamper Detection Sensors
High FRAM write speed allows for rapid state saving during unexpected power-down or security events.
