The EFM32 Zero Gecko MCUs feature many of the same power-saving precision analog peripherals included in Silicon Labs' popular Tiny Gecko, Giant Gecko and Wonder Gecko devices. Compared to other microcontrollers, Zero Gecko Cortex-M0+ offers these peripherals in ultra low power sleep modes, where important features like BOD, POR, RTC and RAM retention is included - at no additional current consumption. These low-energy peripherals include an analog comparator, a supply voltage comparator, an on-chip temperature sensor and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 350 μA current consumption at a 1 MHz sample rate, and AES encryption for secure wireless appliations, and a programmable current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC). This on-chip precision-analog IDAC generates a biasing current from 0.05-64 µA with only 10 nA overhead. This video looks closer at what is available at the market today, to show you how you can benefit from choosing the Gecko technology. ...more
