Ultra-Low-Power Performance MSP430

The MSP430 is designed specifically for ultra-low-power applications.A flexible clocking system,multiple operatingmodes and zero-power always on brown-out reset (BOR) are implemented to reduce power consumption and dramaticallyextend battery life.The MSP430 BOR functionis always activein all low-power modes to ensure the most reliable perform-ance possible.The MSP430 CPU architecture with 16 registers and 16-bit data and address buses minimize power consumingfetches to memory and a fast vectored
