Shanghai, China (March 18, 2025) — Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) recently launched the world's smallest microcontroller unit (MCU), further expanding its comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MSPM0 MCU product portfolio. The MSPM0C1104 MCU, utilizing wafer-level chip-scale packaging (WCSP), measures just 1.38mm², roughly the size of a black peppercorn. This enables designers to optimize board space in compact applications such as medical wearables and personal electronics without compromising performance.

"In ultra-compact systems like earbuds and medical probes, board space is a scarce and valuable resource," said Vinay Agarwal, Vice President and General Manager of MSP Microcontrollers at Texas Instruments. "With this world's smallest MCU, our MSPM0 MCU portfolio unlocks endless possibilities, making our daily lives smarter and more connected."

Texas Instruments' MSPM0 MCU portfolio includes over 100 cost-effective MCUs, offering scalable on-chip analog peripherals and multiple computing options to enhance sensing and control capabilities in embedded designs. The series was recently showcased at the Embedded World exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany.

Ultra-Compact Packaging, Infinite Possibilities

Consumers are increasingly demanding smaller, more affordable, and feature-rich everyday electronic devices such as electric toothbrushes and styluses. To innovate in product miniaturization, engineers are increasingly relying on compact integrated components to add functionality while maintaining board space. The MSPM0C1104 MCU leverages the advantages of WCSP packaging technology, combined with Texas Instruments' cost-optimized solutions, to achieve an 8-ball WCSP size of just 1.38mm², 38% smaller than comparable products.
