ElectronicsNew Microcontroller Is Smart Down to Its Node
Oslo-based Energy Micro has extended its EFM32 Gecko range of microcontrollers with the addition of very thin, fine-pitch BGA48 packages.The Tiny Gecko devices require a current of just 150µA/MHz when active. Based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor, the microcontrollers are designed for applications with extreme space constraints such as portable health and fitness products.
Measuring a scant 4 x 4 x 1 mm, the VFBGA48 devices include an array of energy friendly peripherals including a low-energy sensor interface and low-power LCD driver technology.
The size reduction reportedly is partly achieved by installing intelligence at the sensor node level.
