The original Intel 8051 was 4k EROM and 128B of RAM and set the world on fire with its applications.

16kB Flash and 1kB SRAM is plenty.

However, the analog capabilities of this thing are nearly trash. One ADC?? No comparators? No OpAmps? Ehhhhhhhh, this is really bare bones by modern standards.

Modern cheap chips differentiate themselves with how many analog components they stuff into one package so that they are easily used in a wide variety of situations.

The only real feature offered here is size. Which is impressive but definitely limiting compared to the rest of TI's MSPM0 (or even MSP430) lineup.

The best this MSPM0-C seems to be able to do, is ADC input -> PWM output. Which is... the bare minimum necessary for mixed signal control.

Resistor+capacitor for anti aliasing on input, resistor+capacitor (smooth the PWM) + transistor for output, and yeah we have a true system with feedback here. But it won't be as reliable or quick as other tools (comparators, OpAmps, or the like)
