Texas Instruments MSP430FR5969 16-bit Mixed-Signal Microcontrollers

Texas Instruments MSP430FR5969 Mixed-Signal Microcontrollers are MSP430 MCUs with a 16-channel analog comparator, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), enhanced universal serial communication interfaces, five 16-bit timers with up to seven capture/compare registers each, 32-bit hardware multiplier, 3-channel internal DMA, and real-time clock (RTC) with calendar and alarm functions. Based on an ultra-low power (ULP) FRAM platform that combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low power system architecture, the MSP430FR5969 allows designers to increase performance at lowered energy budgets.

Features include an embedded microcontroller 16-bit RISC architecture, a wide supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V, optimized ultra-low power modes, up to 64KB of nonvolatile memory, ultra-low power writes with speeds up to 125ns per word (64KB in 4ms), and up to 40 multifunction input/output ports. Optimized to achieve extended battery life in energy-challenged applications, the MSP430FR5969 16-bit Mixed-Signal Microcontroller is ideal for metering, energy harvested sensor nodes, wearable electronics, sensor management, and data logging.
