Abstract

In this chapter, the architecture and function of a microcontroller, a device for system operation control at micro-level, is briefed. The need for a low power microcontroller towards sustainability and greening is stressed with various examples. The MSP430 Microcontroller, a product from Texas Instruments, is a very low power microcontroller. The strategies adopted for MSP430 microcontroller power optimization are explained. Some emerging trends for further power optimization are also given. All the concepts are introduced in a simple manner with suitable analogies so that it can be understood by a reader with a different expertise.
