The MSP430FG47x ultra-low power microcontroller (MCU) series from Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) offers on-chip integration of the complete signal chain, reducing design complexity and resulting in significant space and cost savings. These devices will help developers improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare through products such as blood glucose meters, digital thermometers, pulse oximeters and blood pressure/heart rate monitors.
The MSP430FG47x features two configurable op amps, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), comparator and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)—reducing board space, bill of materials and time to market. The devices are available with memory up to 60kB flash and 2kB RAM for easy programmability. They are also available in two package options to meet various printed circuit board (PCB) size requirements: 80-pin QFP or 113-ball BGA, which measures only 7.1x7.1mm.
