The Texas Instruments MSP430 family of ultralow power microcontrollers consist of several devices featuring
different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The architecture, combined with five low power
modes is optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features
a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code
efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in less
than 6 μs.
