The MSP430 series of single-chip microcomputers is a 16-bit ultra-low power mixed signal processor (Mixed Signal Processor) with a reduced instruction set (RISC) that was launched on the market by Texas Instruments (TI) in the United States in 1996. It is called a mixed signal processor because it integrates multiple analog circuits, digital circuit modules and microprocessors with different functions on one chip to provide a "single-chip microcomputer" solution in response to actual application needs. This series of single-chip microcomputers is mostly used in portable instruments that require battery power.
