This New TI Microcontroller Is the Size of a Black Pepper Flake

The product includes a12-bit analog-to-digital converterand has 16KB of flash memory and 1KB of SRAM and runs at 24MHz.

The diminutive gear is known as the MSPM0C1104.

Alas, that’s as catchy as it gets (no PepperPower for this piece of tech).

TI is showing off this and other MCUs (not Marvel-related) atEmbedded World 2025in Nuremberg, Germany.

But there are also challenges such as government approval (for medical devices).

Manufacturing of these new micro devices could also be challenging," Luk said.

Correction, March 14:An earlier version of this story incorrectly listed the cost of the microcontroller.

It costs 20 cents per unit.
