MSP430×41×

The Texas Instruments MSP430×41× 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 MSP430×41× features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that attribute to maximum code efficiency.The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) of MSP430×41× allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in less than 6µs.

The MSP430×41× are microcontroller configurations with one or two built-in 16-bit timers, a comparator,96 LCD segment drive capability, and 48 I/O pins.

Typical applications of MSP430×41× include sensor systems that capture analog signals, convert them to digital values, and process the data and transmit them to a host system. The comparator and timer make the configurations ideal for industrial meters, counter applications, handheld meters, etc.
