Overview

The EFM32HG322F64G-C-QFP48 is an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from the Happy Gecko family, optimized for ultra-low power consumption and USB applications. It operates at up to 25MHz and integrates 64KB of Flash with 8KB of RAM in a 48-TQFP package. This device is specifically designed for battery-operated systems that require energy-efficient processing and a compact form factor.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU features a highly efficient energy management system with current consumption as low as 127 uA/MHz in run mode and 0.6 uA in standby. The inclusion of a 128-bit hardware AES engine and a 4-channel 12-bit ADC provides advanced functionality without a significant power penalty. Its Peripheral Reflex System allows peripherals to communicate without CPU intervention, further reducing power consumption.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Nodes
Utilizes deep sleep modes and the Peripheral Reflex System (PRS) to maximize battery life in remote sensors.
USB Peripheral Devices
Ideal for low-power PC peripherals and accessories that require crystal-less USB operation.
Portable Medical Devices
Suitable for handheld diagnostic tools thanks to the integrated 12-bit ADC and low active current.
Smart Metering
Enables long-term operation in utility meters using the internal hardware AES for secure data transmission.
