FRAM Utilities

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

MSP430FRxx FRAM microcontrollers

and provide example code to help start application development.

4.4.1

Compute Through Power Loss (CTPL)

CTPL is a utility API set that enables ease of use with LPMx.5 low-power modes and a powerful shutdown
mode that allows an application to save and restore critical system components when a power loss is
detected.
