Silicon Labs (also known as "Core Technology", NASDAQ: SLAB) recently expanded its energy-saving industrial grade microcontroller (MCU) EFM32 Gecko product portfolio to provide higher performance, more features and lower work Consumption. New EFM32GG11 Giant Gecko MCU Series provides the most advanced function set in the low-power MCU market, mainly for intelligent meter, asset tracking, industrial / building automation, wearable and personal medical care. Giant Gecko MCU integrates peak speeds up to 72MHz processing performance, large storage capacity, peripheral, and hardware accelerator, and complete software tools, including industry-leading Micrium OS.
Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly complex, droved for multi-sensor, complex user interface display, advanced algorithm, and wireless protocol stack. As the power budget is reduced, the MCU must save energy during sleep mode to maximize battery life. Giant Gecko MCU should be challenged by increasing integration, performance and energy efficiency.
Silicon Labs IoT Product Advanced Marketing Director Tom Pannell said: "Giant Gecko MCU provides users experience only on high-power MCU. Based on Gecko's decade evolution, Giant Gecko series products provide developers The huge leap of performance, functional and design capabilities. "
Giant Gecko Series provides the following features:
· Supports the ARM · Cortex · -m4 processor kernel for performance-intensive applications.
• The largest chip storage capacity (up to 2MB flash memory and 512KB RAM) in the same class MCU to support more code size, debugging capabilities, air (OTA) updates, data records, and rich graphics interfaces.
· SD / MMC and Octal / Quad-SPI memory interface supports additional storage extension capabilities for storage-intensive applications.
· Quick wake-up / sleep conversion and low energy consumption, allow autonomous access to sensor input, support low-power extraction independent operation.
· Ultra-low power consumption: 77μA / MHz in activity mode, 1.6μA in deep sleep mode.
Giant Gecko MCU integrates a rich communication interface and controller:
· 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) for IP-based industrial control.
· You can pick up the WiFi module of the SDIO interface for IP-based wireless cloud connections.
· Single or dual CAN bus controller for industrial control applications.
· A crystallized USB controller for USB connections for efficient and ultra-low energy consumption.
• Support for pixel mixing (Alpha Blending) TFT LCD Display Drivers and Ultra Low Power Meeting LCD Drivers for a richer user interface.
· Current-based capacitive sensing engine provides powerful touch input and ultra-low power touch wake-up, simplifying the development of capacitive sensing applications.
Giant Gecko Series provides a safe and reliable platform for constructing applications with the best encryption algorithm. This series of MCUs have high energy safety accelerators that run advanced algorithms to achieve higher performance and lower performance than traditional software methods; and have a safe management unit (SMU) to support accurate security control of peripheral access. And the NIST certified true random number generator (TRNG) is used for higher security randomization.
The Giant Gecko MCU provides QFN, QFP, and BGA package options, with a maximum of 192 pins, including many packages compatible with existing EFM32 MCU pins. By compatible with the entire EFM32 MCU and EFR32 Wireless Gecko SOC series, the most widely used software reuse is obtained, and the design time and cost of developers are reduced.
Silicon Labs SIMPLICITY STUDIO Development Tools supports Gecko MCU, in unity, Eclipse-based development environments provide developers to all resources needed to complete the project required for developers. Simplicity Studio includes graphical configuration, advanced energy monitoring, network analysis, and capacitive touch configuration tools, and software examples and documents. The Giant Gecko MCU itself supports Micrium OS. Developers can easily access the Micrium tool via SIMPLICITY Studio.
Price and availability
EFM32GG11 Giant Gecko MCU's engineering samples are ready and is expected to be mass production in the first quarter of 2018. When the EFM32GG11 MCU is quantified in 10,000 pieces, the unit price is from $ 5.66. In addition, the Slstk3701a Giant Gecko development kit is also ready, and the manufacturer recommends that the retail price is $ 99.99.
