The MSP430 is the lowest-power microprocessor available in the market. Its inherently low-power operation is ideal for battery-powered applications where frequent battery replacement is undesirable. This article shows two simple but effective power solutions that further minimize MSP430 power consumption and extend battery life.

Using power solutions to extend battery life in MSP430 applications
Cell balancing buys extra run time and battery life
Common to every battery system with series cells is the problem of cell imbalance. Cell balancing is a method of designing safer battery solutions that extends battery run time as well as battery life. The latest battery-protection and fuel-gauging ICs from Texas Instruments (TI)— the bq2084, the bq20zxx family, the bq77PL900, and the bq78PL114—present...
