TI’s MSP430 MCUs is a family of low power 16-bit microcontrollers featuring many optimized wake-up and low power modes enabling devices to sustain a long battery life. An extensive portfolio offers low cost options with a breadth of peripherals to allow the designer to find the MSP that is optimal for a specific application. Advanced integration , such as on-chip analog components, minimizes the physical footprint and offers significant cost savings on the bill of materials. Furthermore, developers can use one low cost tool to program all MSP430 devices to help migration or upgrading during the design process. GUI-based coding and debugging tools are available for rapid prototyping and to help shorten time to market.
