MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ development kit

The MSP-EXP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ Development Kit is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM)

based on the MSP430FR2433 Value Line Sensing microcontroller (MCU). It contains everything needed

to start developing on the ultra-low-power MSP430FR2x Value Line Sensing MCU platform, including

onboard debug probe for programming, debugging, and energy measurements. The board includes two

buttons and two LEDs for creating a simple user interface. It also supports using a supercapacitor (must

be purchased and installed by the user) that acts like a rechargeable battery, enabling stand-alone

applications without an external power supply. 

Note: The supercapacitor is NOT included and must be provided by the user.

Introduction

The 16-MHz MSP430FR2433 device features 15.5KB of embedded FRAM (ferroelectric random access

memory), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and high-speed write

access. Combined with the 4KB of on-chip SRAM, users have access to 15.5KB of memory to split

between their program and data as required. For example, a data logging application may require a large

data memory with a relatively small program memory, so the memory may be allocated as required

between program and data memory.

Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 20-pin BoosterPack™ plug-in module headers, which support a wide

range of available BoosterPack modules. You can quickly add features like wireless connectivity, graphical

displays, environmental sensing, and much more. Design your own BoosterPack plug-in module or

choose among many already available from TI and third-party developers.

Free software development tools are also available, such as TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™

IDE (CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench® IDE. Both of these IDEs support EnergyTrace™ technology

for real-time power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad

development kit.
