Product details

FRAM instead of Flash — why it matters for this MCU

What sets it apart from conventional MSP430 parts is its 32KB program memory implemented in FRAM (ferroelectric RAM) rather than Flash or EEPROM. The 2K x 8 SRAM handles stack and temporary variables; the 32KB FRAM serves double duty as both code store and data memory, so you can partition it between firmware and non-volatile data buffers without a separate EEPROM.

Peripheral set for metering and display applications

The 52 I/O lines in the 64-VFQFN package provide enough headroom for a keypad matrix, sensor interfaces, and a parallel LCD bus if needed.

Connectivity and serial interfaces

The IrDA support is less common on low-power MCUs and matters for IR data links in handheld terminals or optical isolation barriers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest equivalent part for the MSP430FR6820IRGCR?

Within the MSP430FR6820 family, the base product number MSP430FR6820 covers multiple density and temperature variants sharing the same 64-VFQFN footprint. For a pin-compatible alternative, look at other MSP430FR6820 derivatives with different FRAM sizes or temperature grades — the datasheet cross-reference table lists the specific order codes.

What is the MSP430FR6820IRGCR's core speed and memory configuration?

The CPUXV2 core runs at 16MHz. Program memory is 32KB of FRAM (32K x 8), and SRAM is 2K x 8. The FRAM is non-volatile, byte-addressable, and writes at full bus speed without erase cycles.
