This makes it a strong fit for applications that log data frequently, update firmware over the air, or need to maintain configuration state without a separate EEPROM. ## 96 KB FRAM — the endurance and write-speed advantage The 96 KB FRAM program memory is the headline feature here. Unlike conventional Flash, FRAM writes at bus speed without a page-erase cycle, so the MCU can treat a portion of program space as data-logging or configuration storage without wearing out the memory. For a design that writes calibration constants every power cycle or streams telemetry into a circular buffer, this avoids the 100k-cycle endurance ceiling of typical embedded Flash. The 2K x 8 RAM handles stack and scratchpad data; the FRAM handles the rest. ## 16 MHz CPUXV2 core with 48 I/O and 12-bit ADC The 16 MHz clock rate on the MSP430 CPUXV2 core is enough for moderate sensor fusion loops, Modbus/RS-485 polling, and real-time control with PWM peripherals. The 48 I/O lines in the 64-LQFP package give room for parallel LCD interfaces, keypad matrices, or multiple sensor inputs. The 12-channel, 12-bit ADC (A/D 12x12b) covers analog front-end tasks like thermocouple, strain-gauge, or current-sense readings without an external converter. ## 1.8V to 3.6V supply — single-rail battery or regulated bus The brown-out detect and POR peripherals are integrated, so the reset circuit needs only a pull-up and a decoupling cap. The MSP430FR5888IPMR carries an Obsolete product status.","metaTitle":"MSP430FR5888IPMR 16-bit MCU, 96KB FRAM, 16MHz, 64-LQFP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430FR5888IPMR 16-bit MCU with 96KB FRAM, 2Kx8 RAM, 16MHz CPUXV2 core, 48 I/O, 12x12b ADC, industrial temp -40°C to 85°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"16MHz","Series":"MSP430™ FRAM","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","RAM Size":"2K x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, IrDA, SCI, SPI, UART/USART","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"48","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPUXV2","Package / Case":"64-LQFP","Product Status":"Obsolete","Data Converters":"A/D 12x12b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430FR5888","Program Memory Size":"96KB (96K x 8)","Program Memory Type":"FRAM","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"64-LQFP (10x10)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$8.1830","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/d2b670fee89d13c5844b8166b8ab0bce.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy MSP430FR5888IPMR and what is the price?","answer":"Submit an RFQ through this listing to get a real-time price and lead-time picture from our multi-supplier network."},{"question":"What is the replacement for MSP430FR5888IPMR?","answer":"The evidence does not list an official TI successor order code for the MSP430FR5888IPMR. The closest pin-compatible alternative in the MSP430 FRAM family would be a current-production variant with similar peripheral set and package — check the MSP430FR5889IPMR (higher memory density) or the MSP430FR5994IPMR (higher performance) as starting points for a qualification effort.

The primary difference is program memory size — the MSP430FR5888IPMR has 96 KB FRAM, while the MSP430FR5889IPMR typically carries 128 KB FRAM. Both share the same 64-LQFP package, 16-bit CPUXV2 core at 16 MHz, 48 I/O, and 12-bit ADC. The FRAM step-up matters if your firmware image or data-logging buffer exceeds the 96 KB ceiling."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430FR5888IPMR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430FR5888IPMR when reusing this data.
