Energy Micro® is a global provider of energy friendly microcontrollers and RF transceivers based on the ARM® Cortex™-M processor core. Consuming a quarter of the energy of competing products, the company’s ultra low power EFM®32 Gecko MCUs and EFR® Draco radios target energy sensitive applications, including smart metering, building automation, security systems and portable health and fitness equipment.
The EFM32 Gecko microcontroller family gives 4 times longer battery life than any other 8, 16, or 32-bit microcontroller. EFM32 MCUs have ultra low power consumption of 160 µA/MHz running applications from Flash memory and a Shutoff mode with only 20 nA current consumption. Without CPU intervention the low power peripherals that can react and respond to other peripherals, external, or internal triggers. This results in fast execution, low latency, and the longest operation time for any battery operated applications.
The products are supported by Energy Micro’s Simplicity Studio software suite. Developed to significantly cut development time and always give embedded designers the latest and most accurate information - all with just a click on a button, Simplicity Studio includes the energyAware Profiler, Designer and Commander tools.
