Which MSP430 is right for your LCD application? [Copy link]

The MSP430 product line introduced the first microcontroller with an integrated LCD. Since then, TI has launched a strong product line that now supports more than 100 products with LCDs and up to 512KB flash memory. This provides customers with the industry's widest range of MCU products with integrated LCDs and large memory options . These products can support a variety of low-power applications. (Strictly speaking, where is a display not used these days?)

As the MSP430 has evolved, so have the peripherals, including our beloved LCD. Features such as the number of segments, clock dividers, and segment programmability have all been expanded in the latest MCUs. It is now easier than ever to control the blinking of each segment, dual displays, and interrupts for the 320-segment LCD_C separately. If you are having trouble deciding which features are more important in your application for controlling a display, see the table below for more details on the differences and features between the LCD peripherals in our portfolio:

Now that you understand what features are most important for your application, if you want to learn more about MSP430 LCD products , please visit the following link:
