The CPU is small and efficient, with a large number of registers.
It is easy to put the device to low-power mode. No special instruction is needed. The mode is controlled by bits in status register.
There are several low-power modes, depending on how much of device should remain active and how quickly it should return to full-speed operation.
There is a wide choice of clock.
A wide range of peripheral is available, many of which can run without CPU.
Many portable devices should include LCD, which MSP430 can derive directly.
They contain specialized analog hardware for various type of measurement.
