Developers can implement simple sensing functions with low-cost microcontroller family

Texas Instruments now offers its lowest-cost ultra-low-power MSP430 MCUs for sensing applications. Developers can now implement simple sensing solutions through a variety of integrated mixed-signal features in this family of MSP430 value line sensing MCUs. Additions to the family include two new entry-level devices and a new TI LaunchPad development kit for quick and easy evaluation. The new MSP430FR2000 and MSP430FR2100 MCUs (with 0.5KB and 1KB of memory, respectively) and the new development kit join the MSP430 value line sensing family which includes the MSP430FR2111, MSP430FR2311, MSP430FR2033, MSP430FR2433 and MSP430FR4133 microcontroller families and their related development tools and software.
