FRAM-based 16-bit MCU for low-power sensing and control
The 27 general-purpose I/O lines, plus I²C, SPI, and UART serial interfaces, cover the typical peripheral set for a compact industrial or IoT edge design.
Industrial temperature range and on-chip analog
The integrated 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC handles sensor conditioning for temperature, pressure, or current-sense inputs without a separate converter IC.
Supply range and power-management peripherals
The built-in brown-out detect and POR ensure clean startup and reset behaviour as the battery discharges. The watchdog timer (WDT) and PWM outputs are standard for motor-drive timing and fail-safe supervision.
Package and footprint for rework
The exposed thermal pad needs a via stitch to the ground plane for heat sinking; without it, continuous operation above 85°C ambient may push the junction temperature. MSL 3 out of the bag — bake before reflow if the moisture-barrier bag has been open past the floor-life window.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
This is a current-production part from Texas Instruments, available through independent distribution.
