Texas Instruments’ families of MSP430F2xx high-performance microcontrollers (MCUs), said to be the industry's lowest-power 16-bit general purpose MCUs, provide a direct upgrade path for corresponding devices in the company’s MSP430F1xx generation of ultra-low-power MCUs.
Easing development and offering complete software and pin compatibility, while delivering twice the performance, twice the battery life, and increased memory, the MSP430F2xx MCUs enable developers of meters, sensors, industrial control systems, handheld instruments and a host of other embedded systems to extend the performance and lifetime of their products with minimal redesign.
With a high level of analog integration, the MSP430F2xx MCU architecture is designed for the requirements of a new generation of control systems. The devices integrate on-chip memories of up to 120KB, and a 20-bit address word increases total addressable memory to 1MB without paging, supporting the development of more complex programs. A wide range of analog and digital peripheral options enable enhanced features in end products while reducing system costs and power consumption.
