General-purpose microcontroller "EFM32" that achieves thorough power-saving performance

Silicon Labs' energy-friendly EFM32 microcontrollers (MCUs) are ideal for ultra-low-power applications.

Among the microcontroller products equipped with Arm Cortex-M cores, the EFM32 is a product that was developed specifically to achieve low power consumption.

This microcontroller is packed with ingenuity to reduce the utilization rate of the processing core.

Features and Strengths of Silicon Labs' Solutions

Commondevelopment platform

The common development environment and architecture of EFM32 and EFR32 reduces time to market and simplifies the development cycle.

Multi-core architecture

Whether wireless or non-wireless, dedicated application, communication and security cores distribute system loads and enable efficient implementation.

●Optimized for low power consumption

The robust peripherals and PRS (Peripheral Reflex System) provide flexibility in creating low-power devices.

●AI/ML accelerator

Some products are equipped with a dedicated hardware accelerator called "MVP (Matrix Vector Processor)" to streamline AI/ML processing.

 

General-purpose microcontroller (MCU) compatible product lineup and specifications

General-purpose microcontroller (MCU) product portfolio

Silicon Labs' EFM32 series portfolio of general-purpose microcontrollers (MCUs) shares a common basic implementation with the EFR32 series of wireless MCUs, which cover a wide range of wireless technologies. This allows customers to select from a scalable range of products with similar implementations that incorporate the same peripherals.

The EFM32 series is equipped with an Arm Cortex-M core specialized for embedded microcontrollers, but when compared to other products equipped with the same Cortex-M core, the system configuration itself is thoroughly designed to be energy efficient, with features such as a Peripheral Reflex System (PRS) that allows peripherals to work in conjunction with each other, and separate peripherals that can operate even when the main clock is stopped.
