description
The Texas Instruments MSP430 family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers consists of several devices featuring
different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The architecture, combined with five low power
modes, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features
a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code
efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in less
than 6 μs.
The MSP430x41x series are microcontroller configurations with one or two built-in 16-bit timers, a comparator,
96 LCD segment drive capability, and 48 I/O pins.
Typical applications include sensor systems that capture analog signals, convert them to digital values, and
process the data and transmit them to a host system. The comparator and timer make the configurations ideal
for industrial meters, counter applications, handheld meters, etc.
