2.3.3 MSP430FR4131 for Driving Segmented LCD Displays

The MSP430FR413x ultra-low power (ULP) microcontroller family supports low-cost LCD applications that benefit from an integrated 10-bit ADC such as remote controls, thermostats, smart meters, blood glucose monitors, and blood pressure monitors. The MCUs feature a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows the device to wake up from low-power modes to active mode in less than 10 µs. The architecture, combined with extensive low-power modes, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The MSP430™ FRAM microcontroller platform combines uniquely embedded ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing system designers to increase performance while lowering energy consumption. FRAM technology combines the low-energy fast writes, flexibility, and endurance of RAM with the nonvolatile behavior of flash.

The main features of this FRAM MCU are the temperature range: –40°C up to 85°C; the wide supply voltage range: 1.8 V to 3.6 V; and the integrated 4KB of program FRAM + 512B of information FRAM + 512B of RAM memory.

A key feature is the internal LCD driver module in the MSP430FR4131 supporting 4 × 36 or 8 × 32 segment LCD displays, which are quite popular in electricity meters.
