There are multiple devices in the Texas Instruments MSP430 family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers, each of which has a unique set of peripherals designed for a particular application. In portable measurement applications, the architecture is tailored to achieve longer battery life through the use of five low-power modes. The system includes a potent 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that help the code run as efficiently as possible.
Internal oscillators that are digitally controlled enable wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in less than 5 s. Two 16-bit timers, an ultra-low-voltage 8-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, an 8-bit digital-to-analog (D/A) converter, and up to 11 I/O pins are all features of the MSP430C09x and MSP430L092 family of microcontrollers. This device is frequently used in single-cell systems that need a complete analog signal chain.
