The Texas
Instruments MSP430 family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers consist 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 wake-up from low-power modes to
active mode in less than 1 µs.
The MSP430G2x52
and MSP430G2x12 series of microcontrollers are ultra-low-power mixed signal
microcontrollers with built-in 16-bit timers, and up to 16 I/O capacitive-touch
enabled pins and built-in communication capability using the universal serial
communication interface and have a versatile analog comparator. The MSP430G2x52
series have a 10-bit A/D converter. For configuration details see . Typical
applications include low-cost sensor systems that capture analog signals,
convert them to digital values, and then process the data for display or for
transmission to a host system.
