Introduction
The MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad Development Kit is an easy-to-use Evaluation Module (EVM) for
the MSP40FR6989 microcontroller (MCU). It contains everything needed to start developing on the ultralow-power MSP430FRx FRAM microcontroller platform, including on-board emulation for programming,
debugging and energy measurements. The board features on-board buttons and LEDs for quick
integration of a simple user interface as well as a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) display which showcases
the integrated driver that can drive up to 320 segments. It also offers direct access to the Extended Scan
Interface, which is a dual analog front-end (AFE) created for low-power rotation detection. The
MSP430FR6989 device features ultra-low power consumption, 128KB of embedded ferroelectric random
access memory (FRAM), a nonvolatile memory known for its ultra-low power, high endurance, and highspeed write access.
Rapid prototyping is simplified by the 40-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 or choose among many
already available from TI and third party developers.
The out-of-box provided with the MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad features the on-board segmented
display and offers two operating modes. Stopwatch Mode can run a timer for up to 24 hours, or
alternatively operate split time, where the display can be frozen and the stopwatch continues running in
the background. The second mode provides a simple thermometer application using the on-chip
temperature sensor. The temperature is displayed on the LCD and can be shown in degrees Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
Free software development tools are also available, such as TI's Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio
(CCS) and IAR Embedded Workbench. Both of these IDEs support EnergyTrace++™ technology for realtime power profiling and debugging when paired with the MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad. More information
about the LaunchPad, the supported BoosterPack modules and available resources can be found at TI's
LaunchPad portal.

eZ-FET Onboard Emulator With EnergyTrace™ Technology
To keep development easy and cost effective, TI's LaunchPad Development Kits integrate an onboard
emulator, which eliminates the need for expensive programmers. The MSP-EXP430FR6989 has the eZFET emulator (see Figure 5), which is a simple and low-cost debugger that supports all MSP430 device
derivatives.
Figure 5. eZ-FET Emulator
The MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad features full EnergyTrace++ technology. The EnergyTrace
functionality varies across the MSP portfolio, shown in Table 1.

The eZ-FET also provides a "backchannel" UART-over-USB connection with the host, which can be very
useful during debugging and for easy communication with a PC. The provided UART supports hardware
flow control (RTS and CTS), although by default these signals are not connected to the target.
In Figure 5, the dotted line through J101 divides the eZ-FET emulator from the target area. The signals
that cross this line can be disconnected by jumpers on J101, the isolation jumper block. More details on
the isolation jumper block are in Section 2.2.3.
The eZ-FET hardware can be found in the schematics in Section 6 and in the MSP-EXP430FR6989
Hardware Design Files. The software and more information about the debugger can be found on the eZFET wiki.

2.2.3
Emulator Connection: Isolation Jumper Block
The isolation jumper block at jumper J101 connects or disconnects signals that cross from the eZ-FET
domain into the MSP430FR6989 target domain. This includes eZ-FET Spy-Bi-Wire signals, application
UART signals, and 3.3-V and 5-V power (see Table 2 and Figure 6).
Reasons to open these connections:
• To remove any and all influence from the eZ-FET emulator for high accuracy target power
measurements
• To control 3-V and 5-V power flow between the eZ-FET and target domains
• To expose the target MCU pins for other use than onboard debugging and application UART
communication
• To expose the programming and UART interface of the eZ-FET so that it can be used for devices other
than the onboard MCU.

Application (or "Backchannel") UART
The backchannel UART allows communication with the USB host that is not part of the target application's
main functionality. This is very useful during development, and also provides a communication channel to
the PC host side. This can be used to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and other programs on the
PC that communicate with the LaunchPad.
Figure 7 shows the pathway of the backchannel UART. The backchannel UART is the UART on
eUSCI_A1. This UART channel is separate from the UART on the 20-pin BoosterPack connector
(eUSCI_A0).
On the host side, a virtual COM port for the application backchannel UART is generated when the
LaunchPad enumerates on the host. You can use any PC application that interfaces with COM ports,
including terminal applications like Hyperterminal or Docklight, to open this port and communicate with the
target application. You need to identify the COM port for the backchannel. On Windows PCs, Device
Manager can assist.

Figure 7. Application Backchannel UART in Device Manager
The backchannel UART is the "MSP Application UART1" port. In this case, Figure 7 shows COM13, but
this port can vary from one host PC to the next. After you identify the correct COM port, configure it in
your host application according to its documentation. You can then open the port and begin
communication to it from the host.
On the target MSP430FR6989 side, the backchannel is connected to the eUSCI_A1 module. The eZ-FET
has a configurable baud rate; therefore, it is important that the PC application configures the baud rate to
be the same as what is configured on the eUSCI_A1.
The eZ-FET also supports hardware flow control, if desired. Hardware flow control (CTS and RTS
handshaking) allows the target MSP430FR6989 and the emulator to tell each other to wait before sending
more data. At low baud rates and with simple target applications, flow control may not be necessary.
Applications with higher baud rates and more interrupts to service have a higher likelihood that the will not
be able to read the eUSCI_A1 RXBUF register in time, before the next byte arrives. If this happens, the
eUSCI_A1 UCA1STATW register reports an overrun error.

Table 4. LCD-to-MSP Connections
Extended Scan Interface (ESI)
The MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad features pins to access the extended scan interface on the device.
These pins are accessed on the through connector ESI1. Some of these pins are also connected to the
BoosterPack header pins. For applications that use the ESI and a connected BoosterPack, be sure to
check for any pin conflicts. Pins can be disconnected from the ESI header using the 0-Ω resistors R6 to
R12, R14, and R15.
The ESI1 header matches the ESI access header on EVM430-FR6989. This EVM is built to show off the
ESI functionality more thoroughly. Any plugin modules from the EVM430-FR6989 can be reused on the
MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad. Note that when populating the ESI1 header, it must be plugged in from
the bottom side to match the EVM430-FR6989.

Power
The board was designed to accommodate various powering methods, including through the on-board eZFET as well as external or BoosterPack power.
Figure 9. MSP-EXP430FR6989 Power Block Diagram
2.3.1
eZ-FET USB Power
The most common power-supply scenario is from USB through the eZ-FET debugger. This provides 5-V
power from the USB and also regulates this power rail to 3.3 V for eZ-FET operation and 3.3 V to the
target side of the LaunchPad. Power from the eZ-FET is controlled by jumper J101. For 3.3 V, make sure
that a jumper is connected across the J101 3V3 terminal.
2.3.2
BoosterPack and External Power Supply
Header J6 is present on the board to supply external power directly. It is important to comply with the
device voltage operation specifications when supplying external power. The MSP430FR6989 has an
operating range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. More information can be found in the MSP430FR6989 device data
sheet.

2.4
Measure MSP430 Current Draw
To measure the current draw of the MSP430FR6989 using a multi-meter, use the 3V3 jumper on the
jumper isolation block. The current measured includes the target device and any current drawn through
the BoosterPack headers.
To measure ultra-low power, follow these steps:
1. Remove the 3V3 jumper in the isolation block, and attach an ammeter across this jumper.
2. Consider the effect that the backchannel UART and any circuitry attached to the MSP430FR6989 may
have on current draw. Consider disconnecting these at the isolation jumper block, or at least consider
their current sinking and sourcing capability in the final measurement.
3. Make sure there are no floating inputs/outputs (I/Os). These cause unnecessary extra current draw.
Every I/O should either be driven out or, if it is an input, should be pulled or driven to a high or low
level.
4. Begin target execution.
5. Measure the current. Keep in mind that if the current levels are fluctuating, it may be difficult to get a
stable measurement. It is easier to measure quiescent states.
Alternatively, EnergyTrace++ technology can be used to measure the same current, and see energy
profiles through integrated GUI in CCS and IAR. EnergyTrace allows you to compare various current
profiles and better optimize your energy performance!
2.5
Clocking
The MSP-EXP430FR6989 provides an external clock in addition to the internal clocks in the device.
• Y1: 32-kHz MicroCrystal crystal (MS3V)
The 32-kHz crystal allows for lower LPM3 sleep currents than do the other low-frequency clock sources.
Therefore, the presence of the crystal allows the full range of low-power modes to be used.
The internal clocks in the device default to the following configuration:
• MCLK: DCO 1 MHz
• SMCLK: DCO 1 MHz
• ACLK: REFO 32.768 kHz
For more information about configuring internal clocks and using the external oscillators, see the
MSP430FR69xx Family User's Guide.
2.6
Using the eZ-FET Emulator with a Different Target
The eZ-FET emulator on the LaunchPad can interface to most MSP430 derivative devices, not just the onboard MSP430FR6989 target device.
To do this, disconnect every jumper in the isolation jumper block. This is necessary, because the emulator
cannot connect to more than one target at a time over the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) connection.
Next, make sure the target board has proper connections for SBW. Note that to be compatible with SBW,
the capacitor on RST/SBWTDIO cannot be greater than 2.2 nF. The documentation for designing MSP430
JTAG interface circuitry is the MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide.
Finally, wire together these signals from the emulator side of the isolation jumper block to the target
hardware:
• 5 V (if 5 V is needed)
• 3.3 V
• GND
• SBWTDIO
• SBWTCK
• TXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used)
• RXD (if the UART backchannel is to be used)

This wiring can be done either with jumper wires or by designing the board with a connector that plugs into

2.7
BoosterPack Pinout
The LaunchPad adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad pinout standard. A standard was created to aid
compatibility between LaunchPad and BoosterPack tools across the TI ecosystem.
The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad kits like the
MSP-EXP430FR4133. This allows some subset of functionality of 40-pin BoosterPack modules to be used
with 20-pin LaunchPad kits.
While most BoosterPack modules are compliant with the standard, some are not. The MSPEXP430FR6989 LaunchPad is compatible with all 40-pin BoosterPack modules that are compliant with the
standard. If the reseller or owner of the BoosterPack does not explicitly indicate compatibility with the
MSP-EXP430FR6989 LaunchPad, compare the schematic of the candidate BoosterPack with the
LaunchPad to ensure compatibility. Keep in mind that sometimes conflicts can be resolved by changing
the MSP430FR6989 device pin function configuration in software. More information about compatibility
can also be found at http://www.ti.com/launchpad.
Figure 10 shows the 40-pin pinout of the MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad.
Note that software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad side of
the dashed line in Figure 10 shows all of the functions for which the MSP430FR6989 device pins can be
configured. This can also be seen in the MSP430FR6989 data sheet. The BoosterPack side of the dashed
line shows the standard. The LaunchPad function whose color matches the BoosterPack function shows
the specific software-configurable function by which the MSP430FR6989 LaunchPad adheres to the
standard.

Power-up and Idle
Upon powering up the out-of-box demo, the LCD displays a scrolling welcome message. The
MSP430FR6989 then enters a loop, in which the LCD cycles through all of its segments followed by a
scrolling instruction message to "Hold S1 and S2 to switch modes".
3.1.3
Stopwatch Mode
While in the power up and idle state or in the temperature sensor mode, the stopwatch mode can be
entered by holding down both S1 and S2 buttons shortly. The LCD displays scrolling text "STOPWATCH
MODE" to indicate successful entry into this mode.
The MSP430FR6989 initializes the stopwatch calendar to HH:MM:SS:CC = 00:00:00:00, then goes to
sleep in LPM3. Because the onboard LCD has six alphanumeric digits, the stopwatch format is initially
MM:SS:CC, but will become HH:MM:SS when the timer reaches the first hour. This stopwatch counts up
to 23h59m59s before resetting back to 00h00m00s.
By pressing the S1 button, the user can start the stopwatch timer (counts up). While the timer is running,
the MSP430FR6989 sleeps and wakes between LPM3 (waiting for RTC interrupt) and active mode
(incrementing calendar and updating LCD). Pressing the S1 button again will stop the stopwatch timer and
returns the MSP430FR6989 back to LPM3 to conserve power. When the stopwatch timer is stopped,
pressing S2 button will reset the timer back to 00:00:00.
While the stopwatch timer is running, pressing S2 button pauses the LCD at the current time but keeps
the timer running in the background, allowing for the "Split timer" functionality. LCD can be resumed to the
running timer by pressing S2 button again.
3.1.4
Temperature Sensor Mode
While inside the stopwatch mode, the temperature sensor mode can be entered by holding down both S1
and S2 buttons shortly. The LCD displays scrolling text "TEMPSENSOR MODE" to indicate successful
entry into this mode.
Upon entering this mode, the MSP430FR6989 initializes the ADC input to its internal temperature sensor
and starts sampling and conversion at four times per second. Each time an ADC conversion completes,
the LCD shows the calculated temperature to the tenths decimal place.
The temperature unit can be toggled between Celsius and Fahrenheit by pressing the S2 button.
The temperature measurement can also be paused or resumed by pressing the S1 button. While the
temperature measurement is running, the MSP430FR6989 sleeps and wakes between LPM3 (waiting for
ADC sample and conversion to finish) and active mode (processing the results and updating LCD). When
the temperature measurement is paused, the MSP430FR6989 enters LPM3 with the LCD remaining on,
displaying the last measured temperature.

MSP430FR6989 Code Examples
MSP430FR5x8x, MSP430FR692x, MSP430FR6x7x, MSP430FR6x8x Code Examples is a set of very
simple C examples that demonstrate how to use the entire set of MSP430 peripherals (including, serial
communication, ADC12, LCD_C, Timer_A, Timer_B, and others) through direct register access.
Every MSP derivative has a set of these code examples. When starting a new project or adding a new
peripheral, these examples serve as a great starting point.

FAQs
Q: I can't get the backchannel UART to connect. What's wrong?
A:
•
•
•
Check the following:
Do the baud rate in the host terminal application and the eUSCI settings match?
Are the appropriate jumpers in place on the isolation jumper block?
Probe on RXD and send data from the host. If you don't see data, it might be a problem on the host
side.
• Probe on TXD while sending data from the MSP. If you don't see data, it might be a configuration
problem with the eUSCI module.
• Consider the use of the hardware flow control lines (especially for higher baud rates).
Q: Is this the same LCD as the MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad?
A: Yes, this is the exact same LCD. However, there are two differences: the physical pin connections to
the LCD and the LCD module in the MSP devices themselves. The MSP430FR4133 device has the
LCD_E module, while the MSP430FR6989 has the LCD_C module. See the application note Designing
with MSP430 MCUs and Segment LCDs for more information on the differences between the LCD
modules.
Q: Can I purchase the ESI plug-in boards separately from TI?
A: These plug-in boards only come with the EVM430-FR6989 EVM, however, all design files are made
available for you to create your own. See the associated TI Design TIDM-LC-WATERMTR for hardware
design resources and Gerber files.
Q: The MSP G2 LaunchPad had a socket, allowing me change the target device. Why doesn't this
LaunchPad use one?
A: This LaunchPad provides more functionality, and this means using a device with more pins. Sockets for
devices with this many pins are too expensive for the LaunchPad target price.
