The dozens of MCUs released are supported by intuitive software and design tools, enabling the MSPM0 MCU product series to help designers spend more time on innovation, reducing evaluation and programming time, shortening design time from months to days. The Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCU is affordable and easy to program, helping to simplify electronic design. For more information, visit www.ti.com/mspm0.

This new product lineup based on Arm Cortex enables designers to connect and control systems intelligently and reliably while reducing design costs and complexity, making the future of embedded systems promising. Texas Instruments’ new embedded processing products include:

  • The Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCU product series, suitable for almost all applications: The MSPM0 MCU product series features rich computing, pin configurations, memory, and integrated analog options along with intuitive software and design tools, making embedded systems more economical. The scalable MCU product lineup and easy-to-use software help designers reduce evaluation and programming time to spend more time on innovation, shortening design time from months to days.
    Texas Instruments has launched dozens of MCUs and plans to introduce more than 100 MCUs this year, establishing the MSPM0 MCU product series as the industry’s most comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCU portfolio.
  • Processors based on Arm® Cortex® can support up to 12 cameras in edge AI designs: The new Texas Instruments vision processors enable designers to add more vision and artificial intelligence (AI) processing capabilities at lower costs and higher energy efficiency in applications such as video doorbells, machine vision, and autonomous mobile robots.
    These processors (AM62A, AM68A, and AM69A) are supported by easy-to-use software and TI’s free open-source evaluation tool Edge AI Studio, helping designers easily develop and scale edge AI designs and code across multiple systems, while shortening time to market.
Vinay Agarwal, Vice President of TI’s MSP Microcontroller Business Unit, stated: “Texas Instruments is building the industry’s most comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCU product series, providing a variety of general-purpose design options, expanding TI’s existing extensive semiconductor product offerings. Our new MCUs provide customers with the flexibility needed to enhance system sensing and control capabilities while reducing costs, complexity, and design time.”
Providing suitable processing and integrated analog capabilities for general-purpose designs
Designers can choose from a variety of computing options ranging from 32MHz to 80MHz, featuring multiple configurations of math acceleration and integrated analog signal chain components, including industry-leading zero-drift operational amplifiers and 12-bit, 4MSPS precision analog-to-digital converters. This flexibility helps designers meet their current design requirements and plan for future designs, all achieved through the same MCU product series.
This year, Texas Instruments plans to launch more than 100 MCUs, establishing the MSPM0 product series as the industry’s most comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCU portfolio.
Shortening design time from months to days, starting operations in minutes
The MSPM0 MCU can help save months of design time through software, design support resources, and coding tools (including graphical tools that simplify device configuration), allowing designers to write code once and extend it in future MSPM0-based designs.
Designers can use the MSPM0 Software Development Kit (SDK) to enhance system performance and memory utilization. The SDK offers a unified experience, including various drivers, libraries, over 200 easy-to-use code examples, and subsystem reference designs.
Scalable product series for a promising future of embedded systems
The new MCU product series reflects TI’s commitment to providing designers with more economical embedded processors to tackle any design challenge. TI’s embedded processors enable designers to connect and control systems intelligently, reliably, and securely, while reducing costs and complexity.
In addition to a vast ecosystem of software, tools, and training, all analog and embedded processing devices are manufactured at TI’s production facilities to help meet customer demands for decades to come.
Rooted in China, TI continues to strengthen its local support capabilities
“The market size and development opportunities in China are enormous. The recently released overall layout plan for the construction of a digital China emphasizes strengthening, optimizing, and expanding the digital economy. Furthermore, China is continuously promoting high-quality development. These will inevitably lead to industrial upgrades across various industries, from manufacturing to end consumption, further increasing demand for semiconductors,” said Jiang Han, Vice President and President of TI China. “Texas Instruments values its development in China and has been rooted here since 1986, continuously investing and establishing a complete local support system. We provide a wide range of differentiated analog and embedded processing product portfolios and continue to launch innovative products and technologies, such as the new microcontroller and vision processor product series, to further grow together with our vast customers in China and win the future together.”
Packaging and Availability
The MSPM0L and MSPM0G MCUs are available for purchase through TI.com.cn and authorized distributors. These MCUs offer various package sizes, including 16 to 32 pin package options and 8 kB to 128 kB flash options. Various payment and logistics options are available on TI.com.cn. Designers can now start prototyping with the LaunchPad™ development kits for MSPM0L1306 and MSPM0G3507.
