China · Beijing - March 15, 2017 - Silicon Labs (also known as "Core Technology", NASDAQ: SLAB) Continues to enhance EFM32TM Gecko Microcontroller (MCU) Series to meet embedded developers for design next-generation security , The need for high-end IOT equipment. Using Silicon Labs new Jade and Pearl Gecko MCU, developers can easily add touch control interfaces, powerful security and multiple low power sensors to the IOT device. The new MCU is particularly optimized in high performance, low energy applications, and supports by online (OTA) update end products.
JADE and Pearl Gecko MCU provide first-class hardware encryption technology, high-efficient security accelerator, true random number generator (TRNG), and security management unit (SMU) ensures secure connection of the IoT device and will not sacrifice battery life. Encryption / decryption accelerator runs the latest security algorithm with higher performance and lower power consumption than traditional software. In addition to the traditional memory protection unit, the security management unit can access the configuration more fine security level through the software. Peripherals can also be individually protected by hardware, only authorized to allow access to the peripheral register interface.
Compared with the previous generation of Jade and Pearl Gecko products, new MCUs have more flash memory capacity (up to 1024KB, two zones) and RAM capacity (up to 256KB), enabling the development of real-time operating systems (such as micrium OS) Rich embedded applications become easier. The two district storage architecture makes it necessary to have reliable on-site upgrade capabilities even after the product deployment.
Based on the ARM® Cortex®-M3 and M4 processors, enhanced JADE and Pearl MCUs have ultra-low active current, multiple sleep modes, and other architectural functions that ensure safety, battery-powered IoT products, while supporting high performance and Other embedded systems for low power consumption. The new MCU also includes an advanced capacitance sensor controller, which maintains the active state when the device is in energy-saving depth sleep mode, supports capacitive touch operation, eliminating the cost and design complexity generated by usual need to add the external controller. These MCUs also have the LESENSE sensor interface of Silicon Labs, allowing automatic detection sensor input when the MCU kernel is in sleep mode.
Daniel Cooley, General Manager of Senior Vice President of Silicon Labs, said: "We continuously expand the Gecko MCU series of products to meet the needs of IOT rapid development. Our new Jade and Pearl MCU provide unparalleled comprehensive performance, including security features, Larger storage, integrated peripherals, as well as ultra-low activities and sleep currents, etc. "
The new Jade and Pearl MCU software compatible EFM32 Gecko MCU and Wireless Gecko SOC achieve the broadest software multiplexing, saving development time and cost of developers. Silicon Labs plans to launch new Gecko MCU products later this year, which has higher performance, larger storage, lower power extraction and industrial communication capabilities.
