MSP430 nm technology

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F1611

Does anybody know which nanometer technology is used for the MSP430F1611? Thank you.

    TI doesn't tell and I doubt it matters.
    It's small enough to fit into the case and good enough to achieve minimum power requirements.

    Anyway, the 1611 is quie an old device, the first version of the datasheet is written october 2002. Based on this, you can guess which nanometer technology is NOT used.

    It doesn't matter at all.. for me if they use 0.18um or 130 nm it is the same. It is just a question related to an academic report about microelectronic technology. You dont have to be a "guru" to guess it! Your answer is kind of ironic and that doesn't honor you. However it was helpful. Thanks..

    No. But even being one, I cannot know it if TI has not released this information.

    Well, it was meant humorous and not ironic (I know, the border is foating and often depends on the viewing angle of the other person). However, if you had stated the purpose of this question, my answer would have been in a different form. Yet with the same content. The date of the first datasheet was the only information I could dig up that could lead to at least the right direction. And with the base knowledge of your academic report, you can at least liminate most of the possible answers.

    However, if you follow this forum for some time, you'll see a lot of posts which provoke an ironic or even sarcastic answer (after all, it's an engineers forum and not a scroungers playground, so these "I'm paid for this job an dhave no clue, so can you write me the code for free" posts are really bugging me).
    And since I'm no TI employee, I sometimes take the freedom to honor this request. Most find it funny, especially those who are not the target. :)
