The MSP430 was designed with two goals in mind: to consume as little power as possible and to be extremely C code efficient. For these reasons, it is based on a 16-bit, register based, RISC processor with 27 core instructions and only 24 emulated instructions, with memory mapped peripherals all running on a flexible clock system, in the framework of a Von- Neumann memory architecture. The MSP430 processor is a leader in the 8, 16, and 32 bit microcontroller space. It has grown to over 400 different devices, offering various memory sizes, integration and price points. Intelligent peripherals such as A-D & D-A Converters, Op Amps, LCD drivers, serial communication, USB, and low-power RF integrated on a single chip, allow the MSP430 to save power or work on other activities to achieve the highest performance, while giving the user the flexibility to complete many tasks without complex hardware additions. The software for setting-up and managing these high performance peripherals is only a click away because of thousands of flexible and well documented code examples at www.ti.com/msp430. |

From student projects to teaching labs, the flexibility and accessibility of the MSP430 makes the processor ideal for education. There are dozens of fully documented projects in our Teaching ROM, and many different example labs contributed from our partner Universities around the world. In choosing MSP430 for your classroom, you can be assured that you are working with an architecture that will both be supported and more importantly, relevant for your student's skill sets. | |||||||||||||
