What is the MSP430?
The MSP430 family of ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal processors from Texas Instruments (TI)
provides the ultimate solution for battery-powered measurement applications. Using leadership in both
mixed-signal and digital technologies, TI has created the MSP430 which enables system designers to
simultaneously interface to analog signals, sensors and digital components while maintaining unmatched low
power.
Typical applications include utility metering, portable instrumentation, intelligent sensing, and consumer
electronics.
Architecture
A 16-bit RISC CPU, peripherals and flexible clock system are combined by using a von-Neumann common
memory address bus (MAB) and memory data bus (MDB). Partnering a modern CPU with modular memory-
mapped analog and digital peripherals, the MSP430 offers solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s mixed-signal
applications.
Key Features
Ultra-low-power architecture extends battery life:
0.1-µA RAM retention
0.8-µA real-time clock mode

The MSP430 family of ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal processors from Texas Instruments (TI) provides the ultimate solution for battery-powered measurement applications. Using leadership in both mixed-signal and digital technologies, TI has created the MSP430 which enables system designers to simultaneously interface to analog signals, sensors and digital components while maintaining unmatched low power. Typical applications include utility metering, portable instrumentation, intelligent sensing, and consumer electronics. Architecture A 16-bit RISC CPU, peripherals and flexible clock system are combined by using a von-Neumann common memory address bus (MAB) and memory data bus (MDB). Partnering a modern CPU with modular memory- mapped analog and digital peripherals, the MSP430 offers solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s mixed-signal applications. Key Features Ultra-low-power architecture extends battery life:  0.1-μA RAM retention  0.8-μA real-time clock mode

 250-μA/MIPS active  Wide range of integrated intelligent peripherals offloads the CPU  Modern 16-bit RISC CPU enables new applications at a fraction of the code size  Complete eZ430-F2013 development tool for only $  Devices starting at $0. Product Portfolio MSP430 offers both non-LCD (x1xx and x2xx) and LCD-based (x4xx and x3xx) product families.  MSP430x1xx The MSP430x1xx are Flash/ ROM based MCUs offer 1.8V to 3.6V operation, up to 60kB, 8MIPs with Basic Clock. This family of MCUs offers a wide range of capabilities from a simple low power controller with a comparator, to complete systems on a chip including high-performance data converters, interfaces and multiplier.  MSP430F2xx The new ultra-low-power MSP430F2xx family increases performance up to 16 MHz. Additional enhancements of MSP430F2xx, include an integrated ±1% on-chip very lowpower oscillator, software- selectable, internal pullup/pull-down resistors and increased number of analog inputs. The in-system programmable Flash has also been improved with smaller 64-byte segments and a lower 2.2-V programming voltage allowing the elimination of external EEPROMs in most systems. Available in low-pin count options.  MSP430x4xx The ultra-low-power MSP430x4xx devices offer 1.8V-3.6V operation, up to 120kB/ Flash/ ROM 8MIPS with FLL + SVS along with an integrated LCD controller for low power metering and medical applications. Several devices offer application-based peripherals to provide single-chip solutions for flow and electricity metering.  MSP430x3xx MSP430x3xx devices are an older family of ROM/OTP devices offering 2.5V-5.5V operation, up to 32kB, 4MIPS and FLL. Find the perfect MSP430 for your application using the Parametric Search. Once you have found the right device, go to the device’s page and click “Samples” to place an order for free units. Development ToolsFlash Emulation Tools The Flash Emulation Tool (FET) supports complete in-system development and is available for all Flash devices. Programming, assembler/C-source level debug, single stepping, multiple hardware breakpoints, full-speed operation and peripheral access are all fully supported in-system using JTAG. The FET kit comes with a programming interface, a target board and a kickstart version of an integrated development environment – everything you need to complete an entire project.
