DALLAS, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fulfilling the need
for ultra-low-power microcontrollers (MCUs) in the automotive
market, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today
announced the qualification of MSP430™ 16-bit microcontrollers for
automotive applications. The AEC-Q100 certification allows
developers to integrate higher performance, power efficiency and
scalability into their designs without sacrificing on price.
Automotive systems designers now have access to more than 50 MSP430
Value Line microcontrollers for use in applications including
interior cabin motors, capacitive touch, infotainment systems and
remote keyless entry. For more information on MSP430 automotive
qualified microcontrollers, visit www.ti.com/430auto-pr-lp.
MSP430 automotive qualified microcontrollers include the same
support and software that developers have come to expect from all
MSP430 devices. The inclusion of easy-to-use, scalable and
code-compatible software, including the Grace™ software plug-in for
Code Composer Studio™ IDE, helps developers speed designs and
migrate to a roadmap of devices that offer more performance, memory
options, greater connectivity and a higher temperature range.
Features and benefits of MSP430 automotive qualified
microcontrollers:
- 16-bit microcontrollers priced as low as $0.30 reduce system costs and extend a vehicle's
battery life and fuel efficiency
- LIN software drivers allow developers to easily design
LIN-based applications and products
- Devices are qualified for environments up to 105 degrees
Celsius ambient temperature (Grade 2 & Grade 3) allowing
developers to design systems that perform in extreme
conditions
- MSP430G2xx and MSP430F2xx microcontroller series offer up to 16
MHz, 32 KB flash and 1024 Bytes SRAM, allowing developers to choose
the best performance and memory options for their solution
- Optimized efficiency with ultra-low standby power of 0.4 uA
