My name is Fabi and I am an Engineer and Tech Enthusiast from Romania. On my YouTube channel I do thorough reviews of gadgets, showcase my programming projects and show you which cars I am driving. In this video you will learn all about the Low Power Modes of the MSP430 microcontrollers. We will talk about why there is a need for the low power modes, how they work on the MSP430 platform, how you can enter them and in the end I will show you the current I measured in all of the available power modes and how these compare to the datasheet values.
