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. 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. 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","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/90a9615b5a41acf5f80ee73c939bea1e.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/MSP430FR5962IRGZR/alternatives.json"},"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.

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.
