Microcontrollers Dissipate Ultra-Low Power

    July 1, 1999
    Consuming a mere 350 µA in active mode and 1.5 µA in standby, MSP430x11x 16-bit RISC microcontroller operates at speeds up to 5 MHz with most instructions executed with a single 200 ns cycle. The 27-core instruction, 16-bit RISC architecture

    Consuming a mere 350 µA in active mode and 1.5 µA in standby, MSP430x11x 16-bit RISC microcontroller operates at speeds up to 5 MHz with most instructions executed with a single 200 ns cycle. The 27-core instruction, 16-bit RISC architecture allows each instruction to be used with each addressing mode to make this device easily programmable and code compatible with firm's other MSP430 families.
