What this MSP430 derivative brings to a metering or industrial design
The MSP430F67491AIPZ: This MSP430 derivative integrates four 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs, an LCD driver, and a DMA controller in a 100-LQFP package.
The Flash is field-reprogrammable, so firmware updates over UART or SPI are feasible if the bootloader is planned for. The 32 KB RAM is shared between data and stack — for designs logging interval data or running multiple ADC channels, budget the heap carefully.
The four 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs — where this part earns its keep
The four 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs are designed for low-frequency, high-resolution measurement.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
For BOM planning, this removes the last-time-buy risk that haunts older MSP430 derivatives.
