Energy Micro EFM32 Tiny Gecko Microcontrollers
Energy Micro introduced thirteen EFM32 Tiny Gecko (TG) microcontrollers. At a sub-Dollar price, the EFM32 Tiny Gecko (TG) microcontrollers offer the energy-efficient performance of the bigger Gecko products combined with smaller Flash and RAM combinations and a choice of space saving QFN20, QFN32, and QFN64 packaging. Prices start at $0.99 USD each in 100 K quantities.
Energy Micro EFM32 Tiny Gecko Microcontrollers
- ARM Cortex-M3 architecture
- Use less than a quarter of the energy needed by alternative 8-, 16- or 32-bit microcontrollers
- Wake-up time of under 2µs
- QFN20 packaged EFM32TG100 devices provide Flash and RAM capacities of respectively 4 to 32KB and 1 to 4KB and 12 GPIO
- QFN32 packaged TG200 and QFN64 packaged TG230 and TG840 provide Flash options of 8, 16 and 32KB and either 2 or 4KB of RAM and 24 or 56 GPIO
- Tiny Gecko products offer the same energy saving features and most of the peripherals of the larger Gecko products
- TG840 devices embed a 4×24 segment LCD controller consuming less than 900nA
- All TG parts offer an AES encryption / decryption engine as standard
- Low energy UART and I2C serial interfaces
- A/D and D/A converters
- Counters and timers
- Peripheral reflex system run in parallel with the standard 32-bit ARM bus
- Peripherals run and communicate autonomously while the CPU is turned off
