Apart from some older erasable programmable read-only memory ( EPROM, such as MSP430E3xx) and high volume mask ROM (MSP430Cxxx) versions, all of the devices are in-system programming enabled via Joint Test Action Group ( JTAG), full four-wire or Spy-Bi-Wire), a built in bootstrapping loader (BSL) using UART such as RS232, or USB on devices with USB support. Some less usual peripheral options include comparators (that can be used with the timers to do simple ADC), on-chip operational amplifiers (op-amp) for signal conditioning, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), liquid crystal display (LCD) driver, hardware multiplier, USB, and direct memory access (DMA) for ADC results. timer including pulse-width modulation (PWM),.The device comes in a variety of configurations featuring the usual peripherals: Further, the MSP430 can wake-up in times under 1 microsecond, allowing the controller to stay in sleep mode longer, minimizing average current use. The MSP430 also uses six different low-power modes, which can disable unneeded clocks and CPU. It can be throttled back for lower power consumption. The current drawn in idle mode can be less than 1 ♚. The MSP430 can be used for low powered embedded devices.
