Integrating multiple functions within a housekeeping MSP430 microcontroller
Read more
You’re probably constantly looking for ways to optimize your Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designs. From reducing board size to lowering costs and component count, maximising efficiency is a requirement for almost any design. Adding a small, low-cost microcontroller (MCU) for simple housekeeping functions can benefit many board designs. This housekeeping (or secondary) MCU is not the main host processor in the system, but it can handle several important system-level functions such as LED control or input/output (I/O) expansion.
