Texas Instruments announced 64 new low-power MSP430 Value Line microcontrollers (MCUs) that aim to offer 16-bit performance at an 8-bit price.
The new MSP430G2xx2 MCUs include integrated capacitive touch IOs, allowing developers to interface directly with capacitive touch pads, eliminating the need for additional hardware and components. Additionally, the Value Line expansion provides extra package and memory options, providing developers with increased design flexibility.
The product family’s increased memory range now extends up to 8 KB Flash and 256 B RAM to support more advanced applications. The additional package options with increased pin counts (20-pin TSSOP and PDIP) offer more flexibility when programming and designing form factors. The MCUs offer optimised efficiency with ultra-low standby current of 0,4 μA and <1 μs wake-up time, as well as integrated intelligent peripherals such as 10-bit ADCs, UART, comparator and serial communication.
The MSP430G2xx2 range is supported by a complete hardware and software development environment with free, downloadable software debuggers and compilers, including Code Composer Studio IDE and IAR Embedded Workbench, and the low-cost LaunchPad development kit. Code compatible is assured across the MSP430 platform, providing an easy migration path for added scalability.
