Texas Instruments has débuted the MSP430F563x and MSP430F663x families, adding more performance and features to its low-power 16-bit microcontroller portfolio. Developers can take advantage of the microcontrollers’ larger memory, display capacity and analog peripherals, which enable high-precision measurement and connectivity.
The F563x and F663x devices meet the needs of portable measurement applications, including blood glucose meters, pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, electrocardiograms (ECG), activity monitors and sensor hubs. Home automation and industrial applications requiring a user interface such as utility meters, remote sensing and thermostats can also benefit from the capabilities of these MSP430 families.
The USB Developers Package for MSP430 is a free software package containing all necessary source code and sample applications required for developing a USB-based MSP430 project. USB Personal Healthcare Device Class for medical devices is available as part of this download.
Rich real-time operating software (RTOS) support is also available with this device family. TI also provides an easy development platform for debugging and evaluation with the MSP-TS430PZ100USB and MSP-FET430U100USB development tools.
The new devices’ memory options of 256 KB flash and 18 KB RAM allow the addition of wireless stacks, more application features, richer graphical user interfaces (GUI) and the addition of a real-time operating system (RTOS) to handle multiple tasks depending on the application design. The increased memory also makes multiple USB APIs possible, providing more connectivity options and faster ramp to production when combined with TI’s free software in the USB Developer’s Package.
The MCUs’ analog peripherals include 12-bit analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters providing high-resolution sensor measurements and enabling two-way, real-world interface options. Standby current consumption is as low as 1,8 μA and wake-up time is just 3 μs.
