MSP430FR6005: MSP430FR

Part Number: MSP430FR6005
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5043, EVM430-FR6047

Hi

Our company develops systems for water managing and for early detection of leaks.

We are testing the possibility of using a component from the MSP430FRXXX series in order to use it as a clamp on detector.

At the initial tests we are using your TI EVM card: EVM430FR6047.
In our preliminary lab test it seems that TI component does the job.

I would appreciate your assistance:

1: Our Requirements:

  • Cost : Our product will be sales in large quantities and shell be price sensitive.
  • Low Power consumption
  • No need for a display.

 What is your recommendion for part number for a new design?

2: When should we load/burn the Boot Loader on every power-up or only during the production process?

3: How is it recommended to communicate with the component or loading the BOOT SW:

By I2C/SPI/Uart, or any other protocol? How do you work on the EVM card?

4: Low power mode: In order to read / measure continuously water flow.

What will be the power consumption? What is the recommendation for low power mode ?
Do you recommend to go in to the sleep mode between each read?

4: Do you have a local representative in Israel who will support us?

Thanks

    Hi Avraham,

    1) Without the need for a display, and the emphasis on low cost and low power, I think you should look into using the MSP430FR5043. You can read more about it on the device's product page.

    2) I'm not exactly sure what you mean. You can perform your configuration and calibration, then save this data to flash to each device during production. Then whenever the device is powered up it will be ready to perform measurements, already calibrated. 

    3) The BSL can program the device through UART or I2C. You can read more about this in the device datasheet in section 9.7. The EVM430-6047 allows you to use either, you may want to take a look at the EVM430-FR6047 Hardware Guide to learn more about the way your programming device is communicating with the EVM. When I am using one of the EVMs, I use the USB-HID interface, which communicates with the device via I2C.

    4) You can find information on the power consumption in various low power modes in section 8 of the device datasheet. In the demo application, the device does enter a low power mode between readings. Depending on your application, you should probably do the same. The active mode current consumption is quite high so in a power conscious application, utilizing the LPMs properly will be important.

    5) I am going to add you as a friend here on E2E, so you can provide me with your email in private. Once you do that, I will connect you with someone from our team who works with your area.

    Hi
    1: As I can see there some option and differnt packages of the MSPFR5043.
    Please let me know which part number is in common use? 



    2: How I can get a Refernce schamatic for the : MSP430FR5043? (EVM430-FR6047 )
    Do you have Schamatics symbol for Cadance/Orcad

    3:Who is your representative In Israel?


    4: How Can I get a formal qoutation? 

    5: Dose the   MSPFR5043 suport configuration / BSP interface by both I2C/UART?


    6: Where can I see the main difference between all MSPFRXXX part numbers?

    1) Our reference design uses the MSP430FR6043IPN. I believe most customers base their designs on this. You can find this reference design here. 

    2) You can find the schematic symbol by navigating to the Design & Development section, and CAD/CAE Symbols, in the device's product page.

    3) If you could please send me an email, or send me your email, I would be happy to connect you with one of our representatives in Israel.

    4) Once you have completed step 3, the representative assigned to you will be able to help you with this.

    5) Yes, much like with the FR6043, the FR5043 supports communications with both I2C and UART.

    6) The best way to go about this is probably to go to the MSP430 Device Landing page. This has a few options for browsing different devices by features, and it has a matrix showing memory vs pin count, plus category. You can also choose to view all products then filter for the characteristics you are looking for.
