The Texas Instruments MSP430FR2032IG48 is a 16-bit MSP430 CPU16 MCU running at 16 MHz, with 8.5 KB of FRAM program memory and 1K x 8 of RAM. FRAM writes at bus speed with no erase cycle, so this part suits applications that log data or update firmware in the field without wearing out the memory. The 44 I/O lines, I²C/SPI/UART connectivity, and an 8-channel 10-bit ADC put it in the sweet spot for sensor aggregation and low-power control loops in industrial and commercial environments. Operating temperature spans -40°C to 85°C, covering outdoor telecom cabinets and factory-floor enclosures.
Package and integration
Housed in a 48-TSSOP (0.240", 6.10 mm width) surface-mount package. The internal oscillator saves an external crystal for most applications.
