Texas Instruments MSP430FR599x/MSP430FR596x Mixed-Signal MCUs

Texas Instruments MSP430FR599x/MSP430FR596x Mixed-Signal Microcontrollers (MCUs) take low power and performance to the next level with the unique Low-Energy Accelerator (LEA) for digital signal processing. This accelerator delivers 40x the performance of Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs to help developers efficiently process data using complex functions such as FFT, FIR, and matrix multiplication. Implementation requires no DSP expertise with a free optimized DSP Library available. Additionally, with up to 256KB of unified memory with FRAM, the Texas Instruments MSP430FR599x/MSP430FR596x offer more space for advanced applications and flexibility for effortless implementation of over-the-air firmware updates. The MSP Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) FRAM microcontroller platform combines uniquely embedded FRAM and holistic ultra-low-power system architecture. This combination allows system designers to increase performance while lowering energy consumption. FRAM technology combines the low-energy fast writes, flexibility, and endurance of RAM with the nonvolatile behavior of Flash.
