MSP430F5xx microcontrollers provide breakthrough ...
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced a breakthrough generation of ultra-low power MSP430 microcontrollers (MCU), offering the industry's lowest power consumption for devices that can provide up to 25 MHz peak performance, increased Flash and RAM memory and integrated peripherals such as radio frequency (RF), USB, encryption and LCD interfaces. With as low as 160 µA/MHz (microamp per megahertz) active power consumption and 1.5 µA in standby, MSP430F5xx MCUs enable longer battery life and the ability to use smaller batteries for portable applications, or no batteries at all for energy harvesting systems that run off of solar power, vibration energy or human body temperature. For more information, please visit: www.ti.com/5xx.TI customer, Jim Vogeley, CEO, AdaptivEnergy, explains that their product, the Joule-Thief™ energy harvester, "collects and stores electrical energy from tiny mechanical vibrations and then uses this harvested energy to power a small, low-power MSP430 MCU. The MCU helps enable a compact RF sensor design to implement ambient intelligence that can detect and report critical conditions in factories, automobiles, offices, homes and other environments, all without wiring or batteries."Increased memory and integrated peripherals like RF, USB, encryption and LCD interfaces allow designers to add functionally needed to advance fields like personal medical, home automation, human interface control, automated meter reading (AMR), portable instrumentation, sensors, consumer electronics and security. Development tools, collateral, third-party support, training and university programs facilitate ease of use and shorten time to market.To view Multimedia News release go to, http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/...

Awesome low-cost, low-power microcontroller, with lots of I/O ports. Some models even have a couple of opamps and several A/D converters. Great in-circuit debugging support.

Can the name "Joule Thief" actually be trademarked when it has already been applied to a very popular circuit since 2002?(Do a Google search for "joule thief".)

Texas Instruments, very compelling video. Your ultra low power MCU lineup is just what the market needs to extend battery run-time. 1.5uA in standby and 160uA/MIP. I especially like the reduced BOM cost by not having to supply an external xtal, and the 25MIP RISC engine is more than enough for most applications. |
