The MSP430F5259IRGCT is a 16-bit ultra-low-power Mixed-signal Microcontroller features a powerful 16-bit RISC MSP430 CPU, 16-bit registers and constant generators that contribute to maximum code efficiency. Using an "always-on" ultra-low-power system controller can significantly reduce power consumption on portable devices like handsets and tablets. This controller can act as sensor hubs and monitor user stimuli and vital system parameters like battery health and temperature, while power-hungry application processors and touch screen controllers are turned off. The microcontroller can then "wake up" the system based on an user input or on a fault condition that requires CPU intervention. The device configurations with four 16-bit timer, 10-bit A/D converter, three-channel internal DMA, a 8-channel comparator, a 32-bit hardware multiplier and 53 general-purpose I/O pins. This device operates at a maximum frequency of 25MHz.
