TI Introduces New MSP430™ MCUs, Offering Configurable Signal Chain Elements for Sensing Applications

Published2018.06.07 06:44

Guaranteed operating temperature up to 105°C, which is the industrial system requirement

Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the addition of new microcontrollers (MCUs) to its MSP430™ value line portfolio that integrate signal chain functions and operate over an extended temperature range.

The new MSP430FR2355 FRAM (ferroelectric random access memory) MCU series reduces PCB size and bill of materials (BOM) cost while meeting temperature requirements in applications such as smoke detectors, sensor transmitters, and circuit breakers that require sensing and measurement.

Features and Benefits of the MSP430FR2355 MCU

• Signal Chain Configurability: The MSP430FR2355 MCU provides engineers with increased flexibility in system design. These products include smart analog combos, which feature configurable signal chain functions: multiple 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs), a programmable gain amplifier, a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and two enhanced comparators.

• Extended Temperature Range: Developers can use the MSP430FR2355 MCU in applications that operate at temperatures up to 105°C and also take advantage of FRAM data logging capabilities.

• MSP430 Value Line Portfolio Product Diversification: Engineers have more choices to select the right memory capacity and processing speed for cost-sensitive applications.

The MSP430FR2355 MCU series, an addition to the MSP430 Value Line FRAM MCU family, offers up to 32KB of memory and CPU speeds up to 24MHz. Designers can also conveniently select from other members of the MSP430 FRAM MCU family for applications requiring up to 256KB of memory, higher performance, and more analog peripherals.

Maxim Launches Ultra-Low-Power MCUs That Enhance Battery Life and Performance

Maxim Integrated Korea has launched ultra-low-power microcontrollers (MCUs) 'MAX32660' and 'MAX32652' that enhance battery life and functionality. Maxim's DARWIN MCU product family is an integrated solution combining ultra-low-power technology applied to wearables, industry-leading embedded memory, and the most advanced embedded security technology. System designers can develop excellent applications under limited power conditions using Maxim MCUs based on 'ARM Cortex-M4' processors with FPU (Floating Point Unit) when designing IoT and environmental sensors, smartwatches, medical and disease prevention wearable devices, and other compact devices. Memory, size, power consumption, and processing capability are critical factors in designing complex algorithms for smart IoT applications. However, conventional solutions tend to show a trade-off: when power consumption is kept low, processing and memory capabilities are compromised, and when equipped with powerful processors and sufficient memory, power consumption increases.

Above Semiconductor Successfully Develops Next-Generation Bluetooth Smart and MCU into SoC

Above Semiconductor announced that it has successfully integrated next-generation Bluetooth Smart and MCU into a SoC (System On Chip) and is preparing for full-scale mass production. Above Semiconductor's BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) series consists of three products: A31R112, A31R114, and A31R118, which incorporate Bluetooth Smart, MCU, and memory. In particular, the instantaneous maximum current consumption is 7mA during receive and transmit modes, and the standby power consumption is also 900nA, demonstrating low-power efficiency that is comparable to global MCU manufacturers.
