The MSP430F112IPW is a 16-bit microcontroller manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is an ultra-low-power controller for embedded applications. It has a 4KB flash memory and 256 bytes of RAM. The controller includes a 10-bit ADC for analog-to-digital conversion, a hardware multiplier for faster arithmetic operations, two 16-bit timers and four capture/compare registers for pulse width modulation (PWM), a USI SPI interface, a USART for serial communication, an I2C interface, two operational amplifiers, an analog comparator, and programmable watchdogs. It also includes various system integration modules and an SRF module for RF communication. It operates on 1.8V to 3.6V and can support various peripherals, allowing for simpler system architecture design, while the user can customize firmware to simplify application maintenance or create a cost-savings alternative.
