IAR Systems supports new ultra-low-power MSP430 FRAM microcontrollers from Texas Instruments Inc.

Uppsala, SWEDEN—May 23, 2011—IAR Systems® today announced that its software development toolsuite IAR Embedded Workbench® now offers a complete support for the recently released ultra-low-power MSP430FR57xx FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) microcontroller series from Texas Instruments (TI). The new MSP430FR57xx FRAM series ensures data can be written more than 100 times faster and uses as little as 250 times less power than flash- and EEPROM-based microcontrollers. Because of their low power consumption and write endurance of over 100 trillion cycles, these devices will
