Description
General part information
MSP430FR5989-EP Series
The MSP430F5438A-ET is an ultralow-power microcontroller. The architecture, combined with extensive low-power modes, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in 3.5 µs (typical).
The MSP430F5438A-ET is a microcontroller configuration with three 16-bit timers, a high-performance 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), up to 4 universal serial communication interfaces (USCIs), a hardware multiplier, a DMA, a real-time clock (RTC) module with alarm capabilities, and up to 87 I/O pins. For complete module descriptions, see theMSP430F5xx and MSP430F6xx Family User’s Guide.
Typical applications for this device include analog and digital sensor systems, digital motor control, remote controls, thermostats, digital timers, and hand-held meters.
