MSP430FR5969 LaunchPad

MSP430™ ultra-low-power (ULP) MCUs with embedded Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) technology now join the MCU LaunchPad™ Development Kit ecosystem. The MSP-EXP430FR5969 (or the "FR5969 LaunchPad") is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) for the MSP430FR5969 microcontroller. It contains everything needed to start developing on the MSP430 FRAM platform, including on-board emulation for programming, debugging, and energy measurements.

The board features buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface as well as a super capacitor (super cap) that enables standalone applications without an external power supply. Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers, which support a wide range of available BoosterPack. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical displays, environmental sensing, and much more. You can either design your own BoosterPack or choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers. The MSP430FR5969 device features 64KB of embedded FRAM, a non-volatile memory known for its ultralow power, high endurance, and high-speed write access. The device supports CPU speeds up to 16 MHz and has integrated peripherals for communication, ADC, timers, AES encryption, and more – plenty to get you started in your development. Free software development tools are also available - TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench™ IDE (IAR), and the community-driven Energia open-source code editor.
