MSP430FR2100IPW16R | Texas Instruments

Mixed-Signal Microcontroller, MSP430FR2100IPW16R, Texas Instruments

This ultra-low-power, low-cost MCU offers a memory size from 0.5KB to 4KB of FRAM unified memory with several package options including a small 3-mm×3-mm VQFN package. The architecture, FRAM, and integrated peripheral, combined with an extensive low-power mode, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in a portable, battery-powered sensing application. MSP430FR2100IPW16R offers a migration path for an 8-bit design to gain additional feature and functionality from peripheral integration and the data-logging and low-power benefit of FRAM. The MSP430FR2100IPW16R MCU features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit register, and a constant generator that contributes to maximum code efficiency.

The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) also allows the device to wake up from a low-power mode to active mode typically in less than 10 µs. The feature set of this MCU meets the need of an application ranging from an appliance battery pack and battery monitoring to a smoke detector and fitness accessory. The MSP ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM microcontroller platform combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing a system designer to increase performance while lowering energy consumption. FRAM technology combines the low-energy fast write, flexibility, and endurance of RAM with the nonvolatile behavior of flash.
