Product details

FRAM memory — no EEPROM emulation needed

That means you can treat it like RAM for data logging or OTA firmware staging without worrying about flash endurance or needing a separate EEPROM. The 1K x 8 RAM handles stack and scratchpad.

Serial interfaces and I/O count

That's enough to hang a display, a couple of sensors, and a wireless module without an external port expander. The 14-channel 12-bit ADC (A/D 14x12b) captures analog inputs directly — no separate converter needed for thermistor or current-sense feedback.

Housed in a 40-VFQFN exposed-pad package (6x6 mm body, 40-VQFN). Surface-mount only.

ROHS3 compliant. The base product number is MSP430FR5957, so variants with different package or temperature grade share the same core. For a spare-parts storeroom, this part is a safe stock-keeping choice: it's current, widely available through distribution, and the FRAM technology avoids the wear-out concerns of flash-based MCUs in long-life field deployments.

Frequently asked questions

Is MSP430FR5957IRHAT RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant per the lifecycle record.

Does MSP430FR5957IRHAT support I2C and SPI?

Yes.

Is MSP430FR5957IRHAT obsolete?

No — the product status is Active. No discontinuation or last-time-buy has been announced.

What are the alternatives to MSP430FR5957IRHAT?

The TI F280041PZQR is a 32-bit C2000 Piccolo MCU with 100 MHz C28x core and 128 KB flash, but it targets real-time control loops (motor drive, digital power) rather than the ultra-low-power sensor/interface role of the MSP430. It is not a pin-compatible second source — different core architecture, supply voltage (1.14 V core), and package. For a true functional alternative within the MSP430 FRAM family, look at other MSP430FR5xxx variants with matching memory and I/O count.
