Where it lands in the field
Operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C. Brown-out detect and POR prevent CPU lockup on supply dips. Supply voltage spans 1.8 V to 3.6 V.
8 MHz core — what it means for the loop
8 MHz core speed. The MSP430x4xx family is built for ultra-low-power operation. At 8 MHz the CPU can service a 16-bit ADC sample at a few ksps, update a segment LCD, and run a PID loop on the DAC output.
