Mouser Electronics is now stocking the MSP430FR599x and MSP430FR596x microcontrollers from Texas Instruments. According to Mouser, these new microcontrollers are ultra-low-power, ferroelectric random access memory and targets a wide range of sensing and measurement applications.
The TI MSP430FR599x (Mouser)
The TI MSP430FR599x/MSP430FR596x extends the portfolio up to 256 Kbytes of integrated FRAM technology. This is a non-volatile memory technology which offers flexibility and low-power performance, according to Mouser. The MSP430 FRAM ecosystem includes thousands of existing software libraries, application notes and driver framework.
The microcontrollers help designers save power by spending more time in standby due to the integrated low-energy accelerator (LEA) for digital processing (DSP), which completes complex math 40 times faster than other low power microcontrollers, according to Mouser. The microcontrollers allow for expanded application code and addressing applications with large RAM requirements and offer write speeds 100 time faster than flash with no buffering or pre-erase required, according to Mouser. The microcontrollers are supported by development tools, including the MSP-EXP430FR5994 LaunchPad™ development kit.
The MSP430FR599x and MSP430FR596x microcontrollers are ideal for a wide range of applications, including metering, building and factory automation equipment and portable health and fitness devices.
