Texas Instruments' MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontroller family consists of several devices with different sets of peripherals for a variety of applications.
The architecture is optimized in combination with five low-power modes to extend battery life in portable measurement applications. The device has a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generator to help maximize code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows the device to wake up from low-power mode to active mode in 3µs (typical).
The MSP430FG6626 and MSP430FG6625 MCUs have high-performance 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), dual 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs), dual operational amplifiers, comparators, two universal serial communication interfaces (USCI), USB 2.0, Hardware multiplier, DMA, four 16-bit timers, real-time clock (RTC) module with alarm function, LCD driver and up to 73 I / O pins.
The MSP430FG6426 and MSP430FG6425 have a high-performance 16-bit ADC, two 12-bit DACs, two low-power operational amplifiers, a comparator, two USCI, a 3.3V LDO, a hardware multiplier, DMA, and four 16-bit timing Controller, RTC module with alarm function, LCD driver and up to 73 I / O pins.
Typical applications include analog and digital sensor systems, handheld instruments such as medical diagnostic instruments, measurement equipment, and handheld industrial testers.
