Description
The TI MSP430™ family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers consists of several devices featuring different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The architecture, combined with five low-power modes, is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features 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 6 µs.
The MSP430xG461x series are microcontroller configurations with two 16-bit timers, a high-performance 12-bit ADC, dual 12-bit DACs, three configurable operational amplifiers, one universal serial communication interface (USCI), one universal synchronous/asynchronous communication interface (USART), DMA, 80 I/O pins, and a segment liquid crystal display (LCD) driver with regulated charge pump.
For complete module descriptions, see the MSP430x4xx Family User’s Guide.
Important information
We are currently planning the next generation of this product. The new part will leverage a laminate BGA package that we call nFBGA. This package offers datasheet-equivalent electrical performance. It is also board layout/footprint equivalent to MicroStar. For more details, please reference this application note.
