Microcontroller Families boost sensing and wireless applications

Texas Instruments’ (TI’s) five families of MSP430F2xx high-performance microcontrollers (MCU’s) are low-power 16-bit general purpose devices that include units optimized for low-power ZigBee networks, wireless networks and automatic meter reading. A wide range of analog and digital peripheral options enable enhanced features in end products while reducing system costs and power consumption. For example, On-chip options available among the devices include program memories up to 120 kBytes, three-channel direct memory access, eight-channel 12-bit ADCs, and two-channel 12-bit DACs.
