MSP430 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MSP430 is a 16-bit RISC microcontroller from Texas Instruments that integrates CapTIvate capacitive touch technology for robust touch sensing. It operates at clock frequencies up to 16 MHz and supports a wide supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V.

 

With up to 7.5 KB of nonvolatile FRAM memory featuring 10^15 write cycle endurance, the MSP430 enables low-power data logging and frequent updates. Active mode current consumption is typically 120 µA/MHz, and standby current is less than 4 µA with wake-on-touch functionality.

 

The microcontroller includes a 10-bit ADC with 200 kSPS sample rate, multiple 16-bit timers, and serial communication interfaces (eUSCI_A and eUSCI_B) supporting UART, IrDA, and SPI. It offers high immunity to electrical noise, with 10 V RMS common-mode noise tolerance, 4 kV electrical fast transient immunity, and 15 kV electrostatic discharge protection. The device supports up to 8 self-capacitance or 16 mutual-capacitance touch electrodes, covering a detection range of 0 pF to 300 pF.
