Texas Instruments MSP430F673x / MSP430F672x Mixed Signal MCUs
Texas Instruments MSP430F673x / MSP430F672x Mixed-Signal Microcontrollers are MSP430 MCUs with three high-performance 24-bit sigma-delta A/D converters, a 10-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, four enhanced universal serial communication interfaces (three eUSCI_A and one eUSCI_B), four 16-bit timers, a hardware multiplier, DMA, and real-time clock module with alarm capabilities. These MCUs include an MSP430 LCD driver with integrated contrast control, an auxiliary supply system, and up to 72 I/O pins in 100-pin devices and 52 I/O pins in 80-pin devices.
These Texas Instruments devices feature a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power modes to active mode in 3μs (typical). Typical applications for MSP430F673x / MSP430F672x MCUs are 2-wire and 3-wire single-phase metering, including tamper-resistant meter implementations.
