Texas Instruments has unveiled the world’s smallest microcontroller. Measuring only 1.38mm2, the wafer chip-scale package (WCSP) for the MSPM0C1104 MCU enables designers to optimize PCB space in applications such as medical wearables and personal electronics. 

The microcontroller features a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with three channels, six general-purpose input/output pins and is compatible with standard communication interfaces such as UART, SPI and I2C. 

Engineers are increasingly looking for compact, integrated components that allow them to add functionality while conserving board space. 

 More information about the MSPM0C1104 is available on the manufacturer’s website:  Texas Instruments.
