Product details

Active production, unified FRAM memory

The MSP430FR5988IRGCT: The 96 KB program memory is built on FRAM, not flash — FRAM writes at bus speed without a page-erase cycle, consumes roughly 250× less energy per byte written than flash, and retains data at the rated 85°C with no wear-leveling requirement across the 10¹⁵ write-cycle endurance.

Connectivity and analog peripherals

Serial interfaces include I²C, SPI, UART/USART, and IrDA — enough to talk to a radio module (SPI), a sensor hub (I²C), and a debug console (UART) simultaneously without a software bit-bang. The 12-channel 12-bit ADC, internal oscillator, and built-in brown-out detect / POR / WDT reduce external BOM count — a minimal run circuit needs only the MCU, a decoupling cap, and the supply rail.

Compliance and sourcing posture

ROHS3 compliant per TI's material declaration — no exemption-based exemptions, so the part passes EU RoHS for new equipment placed on the market after July 2019.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to MSP430FR5988IRGCT?

The F280041PZQR from the C2000 Piccolo family is a different architecture — 32-bit C28x core at 100 MHz with flash memory, not FRAM. It is not pin-compatible (64-QFP vs 64-VQFN) and the memory model (flash erase/write vs FRAM) changes the firmware update strategy. No drop-in replacement exists.
