1 Getting Started

1.1 Introduction

MSP430™ ultra-low-power (ULP) MCUs with embedded Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM)

technology now join the MCU LaunchPad™ Development Kit ecosystem. The MSP-EXP430FR5969 (or

the "FR5969 LaunchPad") is an easy-to-use evaluation module (EVM) for the MSP430FR5969

microcontroller. It contains everything needed to start developing on the MSP430 FRAM platform,

including on-board emulation for programming, debugging, and energy measurements. The board features

buttons and LEDs for quick integration of a simple user interface as well as a super capacitor (super cap)

that enables standalone applications without an external power supply.
