The industry's first single-chip MCU for electronic flow measurement and motion detection aims to reduce cost and design time for makers of meters with automated meter reading features.

The industry's first single-chip MCU for electronic flow measurement and motion detection aims to reduce cost and design time for makers of meters with automated meter reading features.

The MSP430FW427 is designed to connect directly to sensors commonly used in industrial applications, such as resonant circuits, Hall- effect or giant-magnetoresistive sensors.

The MSP430FW427, built on the ultra-low-power MSP430 product line, combines an ultra-low-power Flash MCU with an integrated volume scan interface, a watchdog timer; an LCD driver for up to 96 segments, brownout protection and supply voltage supervisor on a single chip.

The device's ultra-low-power architecture and programmable communication capabilities increase meter accuracy and performance, while extending battery life.

In addition, these features make the device ideal for meters with sophisticated automated meter reading capabilities.

NFS Systems offers help with MSP430 MCU development.
