TIDM-FRAM-CTPL

Intelligent System State Restoration after Power Failure with Compute Through Power Loss Utility

TIDM-FRAM-CTPL

Design files

Overview

Compute Through Power Loss (CTPL) is a software utility for ultra-low-power MSP430FRxx FRAM microcontrollers that enables an application to easily save the CPU and peripheral states into non-volatile FRAM before powering down or entering a deep-sleep mode like LPMx.5. CTPL then automatically restores the application where the application last executed (this is also referred to as context-save and restore). This reference design showcases how one can easily integrate the utility library to be used in their application. CTPL can enable a faster wake-up time from cold-start by bypassing the startup routine which can be cycle intensive.

Features
  • Uses CTPL software utility
  • Complete shutdown with software state retention via VCC monitoring
  • Ease-of-use with low-power mode LPMx.5
  • Ideal for energy harvesting applications

Release Infomation

The Texas Instruments® FRAM Utilities is a collection of embedded software utilities that leverage the ultra-low power and virtually unlimited write endurance of FRAM. The utilities are available for MSP430FRx FRAM microcontrollers and provide example code to help start application development.

Included are the following FRAM Utilities:

  • Compute Through Power Loss: A utility API set that enables ease of use with LPMx.5 lowpower modes and a powerful shutdown mode the allows an application to save and restore critical system components when a power loss is detected.
  • LZ4 Compression: Embedded compression utility based on the open source LZ4 compression format. Optimized for MSP microcontrollers to enable better data logging, data transmission, firmware updates and more.
  • Random Number Generator: The random number generator (RNG) utility implements a counter mode deterministic random byte generator (CTR-DRBG) according to the NIST SP 800-90A Rev 1 specification
  • Non-Volatile Storage: The non-volatile storage (NVS) library makes handling of non-volatile data easy and robust against intermittent power loss or asynchronous device resets.
