TOP 10 FEATURES THAT ENABLE
ENERGY EFFICIENT IOT APPLICATIONS
Do you want to…
… create an energy harvesting enabled wireless switch application
… a wireless fitness tracker application
… a smart water meter application
…. or a GPS avalanche monitor application?
Now you can,
with EFM32 Gecko microcontrollers!
Let’s take a look at the 10 factors that help you create these cool applications
#1. VERY LOW ACTIVE POWER CONSUMPTION
• The energy friendly EFM32 microcontrollers have been designed to significantly reduce active mode power consumption.
• At 32 MHz and 3 V the MCU only consumes 150μA/MHz while running real life code.
#2. PROCESSING TIME
• The EFM32 microcontroller family is built around the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M processor core.
• The Cortex-M is much more processing efficient than 8- and 16-bit CPUs. Tasks are executed with fewer clock cycles, reducing the active period.
#3. VERY FAST WAKE UP TIME
• EFM32 MCUs minimize the inefficient wake-up period between deep sleep and active mode.
• EFM32 microcontrollers have reduced the wake-up time to 2 μs, ensuring as little energy as possible is used before the CPU starts processing its tasks.
#4. ULTRA-LOW STANDBY
• The EFM32 combines ultra-low power technology with clever power management to reduce energy usage in standby modes while still performing basic operations.
#5. AUTONOMOUS PERIPHERAL OPERATION
• The EFM32 peripherals can operate in low energy modes without using the CPU.
• By using autonomous peripherals, an application can reduce power consumption while performing complex tasks.
#6. PRS – PERIPHERAL REFLEX SYSTEM
• This system makes it possible to directly connect one peripheral to another without involving the CPU.
• This allows peripherals to produce signals which other peripherals are able to consume then react to while the CPU remains asleep.
#7. WELL ARCHITECTED ENERGY MODES
• EFM32 microcontrollers have 5 efficient energy modes which give designers the flexibility to optimize their application for highest performance and longest battery life.
#8. ENERGY EFFICIENT PERIPHERALS
• EFM32 microcontrollers are packed with peripherals designed for low energy operation, which increase battery life 4 times compared to other low power solutions.
#9. LESENSE – LOW ENERGY SENSOR INTERFACE• LESENSE provides a configurable and energy efficient way of
controlling 16 or more external analog sensors without involving the Cortex CPU.
• LESENSE works in the 900 nA deep sleep mode and enables autonomous monitoring of virtually any type of analog sensor control scheme.
