Texas instruments (TI) announced the launch of industry first ultra-low power ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) 16 micro controller, thus declared reliable data entry and radio frequency (RF) communication ability into a new era. New MSP430FR57xx FRAM series of listed further demonstrated TI in embedded processing technology with a leading position in the field of flash memory and EEPROM based on comparing to the micro controller FRAM series can ensure 100 times more data writing speed and 250 times the power consumption declined. In addition, the chip FRAM still can be in all the power supply mode provides data storage function, support more than 100 trillion times writes for developers, and often provide a new flexibility (allow its through software changes to complete data memory and division of the program memory). FR57xx series broke through the existing memory power consumption and writeable number limit that developers can with function more continuous working time longer new products have a higher ratio of performance data entry, remote sensor and wireless upgrade the ability to let the world becomes more intelligent.

MSP430FR57xx FRAM micro controller main characteristic and advantage
• when executed in the code from the FRAM, will present the best power industry for more than 50 percent of reduced levels for 100 mu workflow consumption -- A/MHz (active mode) and 3 muon A (real time clock mode)
• more than 100 trillion times writeable times can support continuous data entry, thus using expensive outside without EEPROM and rely on the battery power an SRAM
• unified memory allows developers use software to easily change procedures, data and cache memory allocation between, which can simplify the directory management and reduce the system cost
• all power mode of data writing and data storage security can ensure safety, to simplify code development process, reduce memory testing cost and enhance terminal product reliability
• achieve reliable remote software upgrade -- especially can realize the air to upgrade -- for equipment manufacturers provide cheaper and more convenient software upgrade path
• density up FRAM 16kB collection molding and simulation and connecting peripherals options, including 10 ADC, 32-bit hardware on time-multiplier, as many as five 16 timer and multiplication enhanced SPI/the I2C/UART bus
• all MSP platform of code compatibility and low cost, easy to use type tools, comprehensive document material, user guides and code examples can be easily developers start developing work immediately
• many by TI to provide of compatible type RF tools can be simplified system development work
• can realize the intelligent RF connection without battery solution
• FR57xx MCU based on TI advanced low power consumption, 130nm embedded FRAM process
