MSP430F2418TZCAR

The MSP430 family of ultra-low-power microcontrollers contains several devices featuring different peripheral sets for various applications. This architecture, combined with five low-power modes, is optimized to extend battery life in portable measurement applications. The device features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit registers, and a constant generator that contributes to maximum code efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake-up from low-power mode to active mode in less than 1μs. The MSP430F261x and MSP430F241x series microcontrollers are configured with two built-in 16-bit timers, a fast 12-bit ADC, a comparator, two 12-bit DACs, four USCI modules, DMA, and up to 64 I/O pins. The MSP430F241x devices are identical to the MSP430F261x devices except that the DAC12 and DMA modules are not implemented. For medical imaging applications, the LQFP-64 package is also available as a non-magnetic package.
