This is a current-generation MSP430 FRAM part, not a phase-out line.
96 KB FRAM — the non-volatile memory that writes like RAM
The 96 KB FRAM program memory is the main event here. FRAM writes at bus speed with no erase cycle, so you can treat it like EEPROM for data logging without wearing out the memory. The 2K x 8 RAM handles stack and scratchpad for the 16-bit CPUXV2 core running at 16 MHz.
48 I/O and serial buses — sensor hub or control node
The 12-channel 12-bit ADC brings analog inputs onboard for temperature, current, or voltage sensing.
Rated for the full industrial temperature range, this part suits outdoor telecom cabinets, motor-drive control boards, and factory-floor sensor nodes.
64-LQFP package — hand-solderable, inspectable
Housed in a 64-LQFP (10x10 mm) with 0.5 mm pitch, this package is straightforward for PCB layout and rework. No hidden balls, no X-ray needed — a rework tech can replace it with hot air and flux.
