Two-day hands-On workshop covers the architecture and applications of Energy Efficient Ultra Low Power 16 bit RISC Mixed Signal Microcontroller MSP430 from Texas Instruments
The data, program memory, peripheral organization and its special features are covered. The peripherals include I/O Ports,Universal Serial Interfaces.
The course is structured and tailored to meet the need of the engineering students to get a very good exposure of Distributed Data Signal Acquisition and Control Mixed Signal Controllers which can be very well extrapolated to any other platform. Typical applications could be battery powered Sensor signal acquisition for multitude of applications across any industrial vertical.
Cost: Rs.3600/- per team
