Texas Instruments introduced its lowest cost microcontroller with an integrated LCD controller. Based on TI’s MSP430 ultra-low power MCU core, the AFE4110 delivers 16-bit processing power, built-in LCD driver, low power and low cost, while operating on a single 1.5-V battery. Along with cost-effectiveness and ultra-low power, the AFE4110 features 16-kB ROM, 512-B RAM, a 4- x 12-segment LCD driver with charge pump, a high-accuracy oscillator, and additional features designed for digital thermometers, pedometers, thermostats and portable single alkaline battery devices.
The AFE4110 is available now in a 2.7 x 1.1-mm die. Designers can immediately take advantage of the AFE4110 demonstration module available for digital thermometers.
