MSP430 Mixed-Signal Microcontroller: MSP430 Features, Pinout and Datasheet [FAQ]

The MSP430  is an ultra-low-power microcontroller including numerous devices with diverse peripheral sets aimed at different applications. The architecture is optimized for extended battery life in portable measurement applications, thanks to five low-power modes.

The device is equipped with a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and constant generators, all of which help to code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator  (DCO) enables a one-second transition from low-power to active mode.

The MSP430  has one active mode and five software selectable low-power modes of operation. An interrupt event can wake up the device from any of the low-power modes, service the request, and restore to the low-power mode on return from the interrupt program.

The following six operating modes  can be configured by software:

• Active mode (AM)

– All clocks are active

• Low-power mode 0 (LPM0)

– CPU  is disabled

– ACLK and SMCLK remain active, MCLK is disabled

• Low-power mode 1 (LPM1)

– CPU  is disabled

– ACLK and SMCLK remain active, MCLK is disabled

– DCO's dc generator is disabled if DCO is not used in active mode

• Low-power mode 2 (LPM2)

– CPU  is disabled

– MCLK and SMCLK are disabled

– DCO's dc generator remains enabled

– ACLK remains active

• Low-power mode 3 (LPM3)

– CPU  is disabled

– MCLK and SMCLK are disabled

– DCO's dc generator is disabled

– ACLK remains active

• Low-power mode 4 (LPM4)

– CPU  is disabled

– ACLK is disabled

– MCLK and SMCLK are disabled

– DCO's dc generator is disabled

– Crystal oscillator  is stopped
