Texas Instruments MSP-FET430U40A is a combined 40-pin flash emulation tool (FET) and target board used to design, debug, and begin application development of TI MSP430FR5x microcontrollers with integrated FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory). The TI MSP-FET430U40A is a powerful flash emulation tool that includes the MSP-FET430UIF USB interface module and has a debugging interface used to program and debug the MSP430FRxxx FRAM MCUs in-system through a standard JTAG interface or the pin saving Spy Bi-Wire (2-wire JTAG) protocol. The flash memory can be erased and programmed in seconds with only a few keystrokes. The debugging tool interfaces the MSP430 to the included integrated software environment and includes code to start your design immediately. The TI MSP-FET430U40A also comes with the MSP-TS430RHA40A standalone 40-pin ZIF socket target board. Texas Instruments MSP-FET430U40A FET Tool / Target Board Combination is used to program and debug the MSP430 in-system through the JTAG interface or the Spy Bi-Wire (2-wire JTAG) protocol.
