Hi all,

I've been conducting some research involving the msp430 and the
question has recently come up about how it compares to its ancestors.
I've been looking around for some sort of timeline of the evolution of
microcontrollers in terms of power consumption, processing speed, etc.
No luck so far.

I was wondering if anyone knows of such a resource, or even if anyone
has been working with microcontrollers long enough to know a little
about the ancestry of the msp430.

Thank you!

-John

Hi John,

One of the ancestry of the MSP430 is the TSS400 from Texas Instruments,
which comes out of the Mixed Signal Products.
