MSP430FR6972 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments MSP430FR6972 is a 16-bit microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power applications. It operates at a frequency of up to 16 MHz and features 64KB of Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) for unified program, data, and storage, alongside 2KB of SRAM.

This MCU includes a 12-bit SAR Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with up to 8 input channels, an integrated 116-segment LCD driver, and a Real-Time Clock (RTC) with calendar and alarm functions. For communication, it supports UART, SPI (up to 4 interfaces), and I2C (2 interfaces).

Security features include a 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption/decryption coprocessor and cryptographic acceleration capabilities. The device offers optimized ultra-low-power modes, with active mode current consumption around 100 µA/MHz and shutdown mode at 0.04 µA.

Available in VQFN and LQFP packages, the MSP430FR6972 operates within a wide supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V. Its intelligent peripherals include a 32-bit hardware multiplier, three-channel DMA, and five 16-bit timers.
