The MSP430F42x0 generation of microcontrollers is billed as the industry's first low cost, signal-chain-on-a-chip (SCoC) MCU solution for high precision sensing and measurement applications The MSP430F42x0 MCU's ultra-low-power core and complete chain of integrated peripherals such as a 16bit sigma delta analogue to digital convertor (ADC), up to 32Kbyte of Flash memory and a liquid crystal display (LCD) driver with an internal charge pump let designers reduce overall system costs and development time for single-chip portable multimeters, altimeters, industrial weight scales, thermostats and instrumentation and sensor measurement applications
