The MSP430 has four major application spaces which are an ideal match with its features and Ultra-Low-Power. Medical and industrial metering equipment measures actual analog physiological signals which require signal conditioning techniques, such as amplification and filtering, before they can be measured, monitored, or displayed. The MSP430 MCU offers a platform of ultra-low power processors with high integration of the complete signal chain that is required for applications such as personal blood pressure monitors, spirometers, pulsoximeters, and heart rate monitors.
