Wolverine: The world's lowest power MCU platform
TI announces the Wolverine Microcontroller platform, the next evolution in MSP430™ MCU DNA that combines FRAM, the world's lowest power non-volatile memory with an ultra-low leakage process technology, advanced power management, and high performance analog. This platform will cut all MCU power consumption in half with 100µA/MHz active current consumption, 75µA 12-bit ADC, and 360 nA standby mode with a real-time clock and brown-out protection.

Going smaller? Develop smarter! MSP430 MCU's first 8-pin Value Line series
Used in a wide range of everyday products, from toothbrushes, hair dryers and rice cookers to industrial and medical products, the MSP430G2230 MCU merges all the advantages of the successful 16-bit MCU architecture and the flexibility of FLASH programming into an 8-pin SOIC package. They provide the MSP430 MCUs ultra-low power smart peripheral's management not previously available due to cost and board space limitations. The series comes with an easy-to-configure software suite to help developers get started quickly along with a dedicated 8-pin target board.
Make your next solar design easier
TI's new C2000™ MCU solar development kits: high-voltage Solar Developer's Kit (TMDSHVMPPTKIT) and the accompanying Concerto or Piccolo inverter board (TMDSHV1PHINVKIT) , as well as the low-voltage Solar Explorer Kit are available in two versions — a Piccolo MCU-based version (TMDSSOLARPEXPKIT) and a Concerto MCU-based version (TMDSSOLARCEXPKIT). |

ULP Advisor™ Code Analyzing Tool - BETA now available
ULP (Ultra-Low Power) Advisor is a brand new tool for guiding developers to write more efficient code to fully utilize the unique ultra-low power features of MSP430 microcontrollers. ULP Advisor checks your code against a thorough ULP checklist to squeeze every last nano amp out of your application. At build time, ULP Advisor will provide notifications and remarks to highlight areas of your code that can be further optimized for lower power.
Stellaris® MCUs now support ARM®'s latest Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard
Developers can now migrate existing CMSIS-based software to any Stellaris microcontroller. In addition to TI's StellarisWare® software suite, ARM's CMSIS DSP library helps developers simplify the implementation of floating point and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) across the entire family of Stellaris LM4F MCUs. |
