MSP430

From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki

The MSP430 is a 16-bit, ultra-low power, mixed signal microcontroller from Texas Instruments. The strengths of the MSP430 lie in its easy-to-learn, C-compiler friendly, 16-bit CPU partnered with flexible low power modes and intelligent, low-power peripherals. As a catalog market product, its versatility is applied across a number of different end-equipments including medical equipment, electricity and sub-metering, and home appliances such as smoke detectors, thermostats, etc... With over 150 parts offered, there is likely to be an MSP430 for almost any application.

MSP430 Wiki Overview

If you are new to MSP430, please feel free to browse our MSP430 Getting Started category for articles that cover some of the basic MSP430 knowledge you need to get started on your application today!

For those of you who are new to the MSP430 Wiki, this site is the place that the MSP430 community constructs its technical knowledge in an easily search-able, cooperative environment. The architects of the Wiki have tried their best to construct the site such that no categories need to be added. However, the feedback of the Wiki community is critical to the success of the project so feel free to post comments and suggestions to the Discussion tab on this main page. The discussions will be checked periodically as we seek to integrate and organize the full breadth of knowledge that exists within the MSP430 community.
