The 8K x 8 SRAM handles runtime data. This is the part to pick when your firmware needs frequent field updates or you want to log data without wearing out the memory array. ## Industrial temperature range and peripheral set The 40 GPIOs give headroom for parallel interfaces or a modest keypad-and-display panel. ## 48-VFQFN with exposed pad — rework and layout notes Housed in a 48-VFQFN (7x7 mm) with an exposed thermal pad. The pad needs a solid via-stitch to the ground plane — without it, the junction temp climbs fast above 60°C ambient under sustained ADC conversions. For rework: preheat the board to 125°C, hit the QFN with hot air at 320°C, and lift the part once the solder flows uniformly. The pad is center-ground, so reflow alignment is forgiving, but check the orientation dot — it's small on this package. MSL 3 out of the bag; bake before reflow if the moisture barrier pouch has been open past the floor-life window. ## Supply range and power budget The FRAM technology draws near-zero standby current — the real power story is the active-mode current at 16 MHz, which stays under 300 µA typical in the family. That makes this MCU a strong candidate for battery-powered edge nodes where a 32-bit ARM would burn too much quiescent current.","metaTitle":"TI MSP430FR5962IRGZR 16-Bit MCU, 128KB FRAM, 16MHz, 48-QFN","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430FR5962IRGZR 16-bit MCU with 128KB FRAM, 8KB SRAM, 16MHz CPUXV2 core, 40 I/O, 12-bit ADC, industrial temp -40°C to 85°C, 48-QFN.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"16MHz","Series":"MSP430™ FRAM","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","RAM Size":"8K x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, IrDA, SPI, UART/USART","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"40","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPUXV2","Package / Case":"48-VFQFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","Data Converters":"A/D 16x12b","Oscillator Type":"External, Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430FR5962","Program Memory Size":"128KB (128K x 8)","Program Memory Type":"FRAM","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"48-VQFN (7x7)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.7500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/90a9615b5a41acf5f80ee73c939bea1e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy MSP430FR5962IRGZR?","answer":"Submit a request for current pricing, stock position, and lead time — availability and price are confirmed at quote time."},{"question":"What is the difference between MSP430FR5962IRGZR and MSP430FR5962IRGZT?","answer":"The silicon and package are identical — both are the same MSP430FR5962 die in a 48-VFQFN. The difference is the reel quantity: the IRGZR suffix ships in Tape & Reel (TR) with a higher count, while the IRGZT variant comes in Cut Tape (CT) typically in smaller reel quantities.

The 48-VFQFN package is lead-free and compatible with lead-free reflow profiles."},{"question":"How to program MSP430FR5962IRGZR?","answer":"Programming is done through the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) two-wire JTAG interface, which is TI's reduced-pin debug/programming protocol for the MSP430 family. A standard MSP430 programmer like the MSP-FET or eZ-FET tool connects to the SBW pins. The FRAM memory supports fast writes without erase cycles, so firmware updates are quicker than with Flash-based MCUs."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430FR5962IRGZR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430FR5962IRGZR when reusing this data.
