MSP430
The MSP430 family of ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal processors from Texas Instruments provides the ultimate solution for battery-powered measurement applications.
Several of these devices can be connected to an MMC/SD card for PC-compatible data storage. All MSP430 devices for use with THIN support SPI. This makes the interface to an SD/MMC card simple and efficient. In addition to the SPI port pins, two GPIOs from the MSP430 may be used for Card Detect and Write Protect if required.
The following devices with 5-10KB of RAM are recommended for use with THIN:

The following devices with 2KB of RAM may be used with THIN:
-
MSP430F148
-
MSP430F1481
-
MSP430F149
-
MSP430F1491
-
MSP430F168

-
MSP430F448
-
MSP430F449
-
MSP430F438
