Texas Instruments Ultra-Low Power MSP430™ MCU Value Line
The ultra-low power MSP430™ microcontroller Value Line offers superior 16-bit MCU performance and industry leading ultra-low power consumption for cost sensitive applications that have traditionally depended on low cost 8-bit microcontrollers. The MSP430 Value Line ensures 8-bit developers no longer need to sacrifice performance, power efficiency or scalability because of price. The MSP430G2xx Value Line is an ideal fit for a broad range of cost sensitive applications, including, safety and security, low cost touch pads, remote controls and intelligent sensors. The roadmap includes more than 100 MCUs to be released over the next 15 months, providing developers with a broad portfolio to best fit their memory, peripheral and packaging configuration needs.
The new G2xx devices are code compatible across the MSP430 MCU platform, enabling easy code migration and upgrades to higher-end devices as application requirements evolve. The new MCUs are also supported by TI's easy-to-use MSP430 tools, free software and broad third party support network, driving faster time-to-market across a broad range of cost sensitive applications, including safety, security and touch sense. 
| MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Experimenter BoardThe Texas Instruments MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Experimenter Board is a
complete USB-based development and experimenter tool providing
everything you need to launch your own MSP430 Value Line applications.The TI MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad includes an integrated DIP target socket that supports up to 20 pins, allowing MSP430 Value Line devices to be dropped into the LaunchPad board. An on-board flash emulation tool allows direct interface to a PC for easy programming, debugging, and evaluation. Included are free and downloadable software development environments for writing and debugging software. The TI LaunchPad can be used to create interactive solutions thanks to its on-board push buttons, LEDs, and extra input/output pins for easy integration of external devices.
