Overview

The MSP430I2040TPWR is a specialized 16-bit RISC microcontroller designed for high-precision sensing and measurement applications. It features four integrated 24-bit Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converters and an internal 16.384-MHz digitally controlled oscillator, making it ideal for metering and industrial instrumentation. The device operates at low power with an integrated LDO and multiple sleep modes to extend battery life in remote deployments.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU integrates high-resolution 24-bit ADCs and a hardware multiplier, reducing the need for external analog front-ends in precision measurement circuits. Its fast 1 us wake-up time from standby allows for aggressive power management without sacrificing responsiveness in time-critical tasks.

Applications
