TI ups memory of low cost MSP430 mcus
Texas Instruments has expanded its MSP430 series of low cost microcontrollers to include two new devices.
The G2xx4 and G2xx5 offer 32kB/56kB flash respectively and up to 4kB SRAM, which the company says enables wireless and advanced capacitive touch capabilities with additional serial ports, timers and die sized packages.
"By combining the increased memory resources and integrated capacitive touch IOs on the MSP430G2xx5 devices, developers can implement more sophisticated capacitive touch capabilities like swipe, gesturing, double tap and proximity effects within their applications," said TI in a statement.
The mcus offer a standby power of 1µA and fast wake up time of < 1µs. Various package options are available, including DIP, TSSOP, QFN and DSBGA.
