New TI MSPM0C110x Microcontroller Revs Up Sensor Performance.
New TI MSPM0C110x Microcontroller – New MSPM0C110x microcontroller and MSPS003 microcontroller from Texas Instruments (TI) provide versatile, low-power solutions built around a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ core for a wide range of security and automation sensor applications.
Operating at frequencies up to 24mHz, these devices are optimized for efficiency in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications. They support a broad operating temperature range from -40C to 125C and operate with supply voltages between 1.62V DC and 3.6V DC, suitable for harsh or variable environmental conditions.
Available with embedded memory configurations of 8KB or 16KB flash and 1KB SRAM, the MSPM0C110x devices feature an integrated, high-accuracy 24 MHz oscillator, removing the requirement for an external crystal. Internal oscillators include a low-frequency 32 kHz option, offering flexibility for power management.
The MSPM0C110x series incorporates advanced analogue capabilities. A built-in analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) provides 10 external input channels with sampling speeds of 1.7 Msps at 10-bit or 1.5 Msps at 12-bit resolution, utilizing the device’s supply voltage as reference. The integrated ADC includes configurable internal voltage references of 1.4V or 2.5V, plus an onboard temperature sensor and supply monitor.
Designed for battery-powered designs, the MCUs offer 4 optimized low-power modes: RUN at 87 µA/MHz, STOP consuming 609 µA at 4MHz (or 311 µA at 32 kHz), STANDBY mode at 5 µA with SRAM retention, and SHUTDOWN mode at just 200 nA.
Intelligent digital peripherals complement the analogue features. The MSPM0C110x includes three timers supporting up to 14 PWM channels: one advanced 16-bit timer with deadband control (8 PWM channels), and 2 general-purpose 16-bit timers with multiple capture/compare channels. Additional peripherals include a windowed watchdog timer and a programmable beeper output for external alerts.
Enhanced communication options include one UART interface compatible with LIN, IrDA, DALI, smart card, and Manchester protocols, supporting low-power operation even in standby. Additionally, 1 high-speed I²C interface (1 Mbps) supports FM+, SMBus, PMBus, and wake-up from STOP mode. The SPI interface operates at speeds up to 12 Mbps, offering flexibility in peripheral communication.
Data integrity is ensured by an integrated CRC-16 module, while flexible GPIOs (up to 18 pins, including a pair of 5V-tolerant open-drain lines) simplify external connections. The MCUs are offered in compact packages ranging from 8-pin WSON or SOT packages to 20-pin TSSOP and VSSOP variants, accommodating different PCB constraints.
Development support includes the LaunchPad development kit (LP-MSPM0C1104), and comprehensive software through TI’s free MSP Software Development Kit (SDK), integrated into Code Composer Studio IDE (desktop and cloud versions). TI further supports the platform with extensive online resources, training (MSP Academy), and community-driven forums (E2E support).
The MSPM0C110x microcontrollers deliver efficient processing, analogue flexibility, and robust connectivity, making them suitable for diverse applications including battery management, building security, smart meters, lighting systems, healthcare devices, and communication modules.
