16-bit flash MCUs have USB and take just 200 µA/MHz

Offering what is said to be the industry’s lowest active power consumption, the MSP430F55xx MCUs feature a 16-bit architecture combined with USB connectivity. The chips have a full-speed USB (12 Mbits/s) port including a PHY along with UART, IrDA, SPI, and I2 C interfaces.

The ICs’ five power modes include 200 µA/MHz active and 2.5 µA standby, with wake-up from standby in less than 5 µs. They operates at up to 25 MHz and have 8 to 128 Kbytes of flash and up to 8 Kbytes of RAM. They also provide a 3.3-V regulator for operation from the USB bus, and a 10-or 12-bit A/D converter. The chips operate at –40° to 85°C and come in 48-, 64-, and 80-pin packages. (From $0.96 ea/high volume — samples available now.)
