The World’s Lowest Power Microcontrollers
5
Key Applications
Metering Portable Medical Data Logging
The MSP430
™
MCU’s ultra-low power and
analog integration are ideal for metering appli-
cations. The portfolio offers devices preconfig-
ured to support single- to three-phase electricity
metering, while others are integrated with special
scan peripherals for flow metering applications.

The MSP430 MCUs integrated analog signal
chain and ultra-low-power performance is
perfect for many medical applications, espe-
cially portable measurement devices. Also, the
competitive cost of designing with an MSP430
MCU enables availability of care to more people
around the world.

The speed, flexibility and endurance of new
FRAM MSP430 devices with the intelligent
analog and flexible clocking of the MSP430
MCU produce an ideal platform for data logging
applications like structural monitoring, secure
access and building automation.

Wireless Communications Capacitive Touch Personal Health and Fitness
The CC430 is a small, cost-efficient, and
performance-rich solution that integrates RF
functionality into the MSP430 MCU. This low-
power wireless processor is ideal for space and
cost-constrained applications such as remote
sensing applications.

The MSP430 MCU enables capacitive touch in-
terfaces like buttons, wheels or sliders through its
on-chip oscillators and Capacitive Touch Sense
IOs without the need for external components.
A free Capactive Touch Software Tool Suite and
low cost hardware tools are available to quickly
develop an application without needing to under-
stand the underlying theory.

Pairing the MSP430 MCU’s small size, ultra-
low power and integrated analog with RF func-
tionality enables devices to monitor anything
from heart rate, to running speed, to the amount
of air in a scuba tank. The eZ430-Chronos
™
de-
velopment system in a watch is available to get
you started.

Energy Harvesting Motor Control Security and Safety
The MSP430 MCU’s ultra-low-power consump-
tion and powerful analog and digital interfaces
can harvest wasted energy from the environ-
ment, making it possible to create self-powered
systems that eliminate the need to replace
CBUUFSJFT5IFF;3'4&)JTBDPN-
plete energy harvesting development kit that
is available to get you started.

TI’s integrated communication peripherals and
high-performance analog make the MSP430
MCU a great choice for controlling stepper, BLDC,
and DC motors in applications like printers,
fans, antennas and toys.

MSP430 MCUs not only have the lowest power
consumption to enable the longest lasting
critical devices, but they support features for
secure applications like JTAG fuses, custom
programming, intelligent power supply monitor-
ing, dedicated watchdog timers, LCD, and high-
performance analog.
