1 Introduction: MSPM0 and LCD End Applications

There are a number of common applications where MSPM0 microcontrollers with built-in LCD drivers are a great fit. In particular, applications that require both a segmented LCD display, as well as limited battery life or current consumption. Examples include low-power LCD handhelds (like a watch or other device), blood glucose meters, appliances, water meters, electronic shelf labels, and one-time password tokens. The combination of rich analog and peripheral interfaces provided by MSPM0 devices, along with the built-in segment LCD display driver, enable a diverse array of applications with a compelling set of features all in one system on chip (SOC).
