Ultra-Low Power Comparison: MSP430 vs. Microchip XLP

Ultra-low power is in our DNA: As the world's lowest-power microcontroller, the MSP430 was designed from the ground up with low power in mind. We've woven low power into every aspect of the MSP430 from the highly agile instant-on clock architecture, the modern 16-bit orthogonal CPU, to the smart integrated peripherals, to our easy-to-use tool chain.
