Part Number: MSP430F2274-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2274

I am interested in storing some information on the RAM portion of the MSP430F2274's memory, and would like to be erased when power is removed. Is the RAM in the MSP430F2274 volatile memory? Or is in the information retained between power cycles? Does the microcontroller need to actively erase the memory?

    Adevries,
    Only the Flash portions of the memory are non-volatile.
    The RAM will lose its values when power removed. It will power up with random data.
