Texas Instruments unveils MCU the size of a black pepper flake, ideal for next-gen wearables | Measuring 1.38 mm², it is 38 percent smaller than competing devices
As consumers increasingly demand more features in smaller devices, the need for compact components like this MCU has become paramount. This trend is particularly pronounced in the...
This technological advancement allows engineers to maintain high computing performance without increasing board size, which is crucial for devices such as earbuds and medical probes. The MCU features a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with three channels, six general-purpose input/output pins, and compatibility with standard communication interfaces like UART, SPI, and I2C. Other notable features include a single-channel DMA, a CRC-16 accelerator, and a variety of high-performance analog peripherals such as an on-chip temperature sensor.
