Product details

It belongs to the MSP430™ FRAM family, where the program memory is 32 KB of FRAM — non-volatile, fast-write memory that eliminates the erase-before-write cycle of Flash and draws lower active current per access. On-chip RAM is 2K x 8. The 51 general-purpose I/O lines give plenty of headroom for sensor arrays, keypads, and control signals.

FRAM vs Flash — what the memory type means

The 32 KB FRAM program memory is the standout feature. Endurance is effectively unlimited for data logging (10^15 cycles typical), though TI rates it for the application lifetime.

Frequently asked questions

How does MSP430FR5870IRGCR compare to MSP430FR5870IPZ?

Both share the same core, memory, and peripheral set. The difference is the package: MSP430FR5870IRGCR is in a 64-VFQFN (9x9 mm, exposed pad), while MSP430FR5870IPZ is in a 64-LQFP. The QFN variant saves board area and offers better thermal performance through the paddle, but requires a more careful reflow profile and post-assembly inspection.

What is the maximum clock speed of MSP430FR5870IRGCR?

The core runs at 16 MHz. At this speed, the FRAM requires zero wait states for single-cycle access.
