Schmartboard has just released a new product. The Texas Instruments MSP430F5172 Development SchmartModule. This board is an easily to use platform featuring the
MSP430F5172
from Texas Instruments. This 4th generation MSP430 includes a 25 MHz
core, a 10 bit Analog to digital converter, a 32 bit hardware
multiplier, and a precision Timer D PWM capable of 4 ns resolution. It
is the perfect device to build servo, control, or other PWM
applications. This module is fully populated including the T.I. MSP430F5172 microcontroller.
"The Texas Instruments
MSP430 family of ultralow-power microcontrollers consists of several
devices featuring different sets of peripherals targeted for various
applications. The architecture, combined with five low-power modes, is
optimized to achieve extended battery life in portable measurement
applications. The device features a powerful 16-bit RISC CPU, 16-bit
registers, and constant generators that contribute to maximum code
efficiency. The digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) allows wake up
from low-power modes to active mode in less than 5 µs.
The
MSP430F51x2 series are microcontroller configurations with two 16-bit
high-resolution timers, universal serial communication interfaces
(USCI_A0 and USCI_B0), 32-bit hardware multiplier, a high performance
10-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, on-chip comparator,
three-channel DMA, 5-V tolerant I/Os, and up to 29 I/O pins.
The
MSP430F51x1 series are microcontroller configurations with two 16-bit
high-resolution timers, universal serial communication interfaces
(USCI_A0 and USCI_B0), 32-bit hardware multiplier, on-chip comparator,
three-channel DMA, 5-V tolerant I/Os, and up to 29 I/O pins.
Typical
applications for these devices include analog and digital sensor
systems, LED lighting, digital power supply, motor control, remote
controls, thermostats, digital timers, hand-held meters, etc."
The board was co-designed by the University of Colorado EE department to
address some educational needs and also Texas Instruments.
We have priced it at only $35.00, fully populated and ready to go.
