Overview

The EVM430-FR6043 evaluation kit is a development platform that can be used to evaluate the performance of the MSP430FR6043 for ultrasonic sensing applications (e.g. Smart Gas Meters). The MSP430FR6043 MCU is an ultra-low-power MCU that integrates an ultrasonic sensing analog front end (USS) for high precision and accurate ultrasonic measurements. The device also includes the low-energy accelerator (LEA) for optimized signal processing and helps in optimizing power for higher battery lifetime. The kit provides a flexible solution to enable engineers to quickly evaluate and develop with the MSP430FR6043 MCU with a variety of transducers with different frequencies. The EVM has the ability to display the measurement parameters with on-board LCD and connectors for RF communication modules.
