16-bit metrology MCU with 7x24b sigma-delta ADC
The device operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and is rated for the industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 °C, making it suitable for outdoor utility meters, substation monitors, and factory-floor instrumentation.
What the 7x24b sigma-delta ADC means for the BOM
The seven 24-bit sigma-delta converters are the primary reason to select this MCU over a general-purpose 16-bit part. They allow direct connection to current transformers and voltage dividers in polyphase energy meters — three phases plus neutral, with one channel left for tamper detection or reference monitoring. For a three-phase meter design, the MSP430F6777IPEU consolidates the measurement and control logic into a single 128-LQFP package.
