Overview

The EFM32HG210F64G-C-QFN32 is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from the Silicon Labs Happy Gecko family, optimized for ultra-low power consumption and energy efficiency. It features 64KB of Flash, 8KB of RAM, and runs at speeds up to 25MHz while maintaining a very low active current of 127uA/MHz. This MCU is designed to extend battery life in portable applications through advanced energy management modes and a flexible Peripheral Reflex System.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the ultra-low power profile, featuring a shutdown current as low as 0.02uA and a fast wake-up time. It includes a 6-channel Peripheral Reflex System (PRS) that allows peripherals to communicate without CPU intervention, further reducing active-mode power cycles. The inclusion of hardware AES-128 and a 4-channel 12-bit ADC provides a robust feature set for secure data acquisition in a small 6x6mm package.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Nodes
Ideal for remote sensors and connected devices where power consumption must be minimized to achieve multi-year battery life.
USB Peripheral Devices
Utilized in low-speed USB applications that require energy efficiency and a compact 32-QFN footprint.
Smart Metering
Suitable for utility meters and industrial monitoring equipment that operate on a constrained energy budget.
Portable Health Trackers
The integrated hardware AES and capacitive sensing capabilities support secure, touch-enabled wearable electronics.
