The MSP430FR5738IPW is a 16-bit ultra-low-power Mixed-signal Microcontroller features an embedded FRAM non-volatile memory, powerful 16-bit RISC MSP430 CPU and different peripherals. The architecture showcases seven low-power modes, which are optimized to achieve extended battery life. FRAM is a new non-volatile memory that combines the speed, flexibility and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of flash, all at lower total power consumption. The device configurations with three 16-bit timer, 10-bit A/D converter, a 12-channel comparator with voltage reference generation and hysteresis capabilities, three enhanced serial channels capable of I2C, SPI or UART protocols, a hardware multiplier and 21 general-purpose I/O pins. This device operates at a maximum frequency of 24MHz.
● Ultra-low-power ferroelectric RAM (FRAM)
● 32-bit Hardware multiplier (MPY)
● 3-channel internal DMA
● Real-time clock (RTC) with calendar and alarm functions
● Five 16-bit timers with up to 3 Capture/Compare registers
● 16-bit Cyclic redundancy checker (CRC)
● 16-channel analog comparator with voltage reference and programmable hysteresis
● 14-channel 10-bit ADC with internal reference and sample-and-hold
● UART with automatic baud-rate detection
● IrDA Encoder and decoder
● SPI at rates up to 10Mbps
● I2C with multiple-slave addressing
● Hardware UART bootloader (BSL)
● Fully integrated LDO
● Supply voltage supervisor for core and supply voltages with reset capability
● Always-on zero-power brownout detection
● Serial on-board programming with no external voltage needed
● Fixed-frequency DCO with six selectable factory-trimmed frequencies
