MCU Overview Slide 3

TI’s portfolio of microcontrollers ranges from the 16-bit low power MSP430 to the 32-bit Stellaris, C2000, and Hercules platforms. The MSP430 offers a high performance, highly integrated general purpose MCU. The Value Line MSP430s are priced comparably with 8-bit MCUs, and provide 16-bit performance. Stellaris is widely popular for its ARM Cortex-M architecture combined with vast connectivity options. The C2000 is a real-time MCU built from the core up for motor control and lighting applications. Finally, Hercules is a dual core MCU based on the ARM Cortex-M or Cortex-R architectures and was introduced to provide cutting edge safety and performance combined in one package. Popular applications for this family are in the automotive and medical markets.
