MAKE NO COMPROMISES WITH MSP432™ MCUs
You thought a
Cortex®-M0+
solution was
the only
option to stay
within your
power budget
But you
need more
performance
than an M0+
or need to
future-proof
your product
MSP432™ MCUs –
Get Cortex-M4F performance with
similar power as an M0+
MSP432
MCUs
• No longer low-power OR performance; developers can now have ultra-low-power AND
performance
• Less power per function means longer battery life
• Developers can pack in more functionality without sacrificing the existing user experience
