Batteries worldwide celebrate the arrival of the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers

The explosion in use of battery operated electronics is followed by the need for the battery to last longer for convenience, environmental and cost reasons. At the same time, applications become more and more complex and demand higher performance of the microcontroller, making the challenge of designing systems for low power even more difficult. This white paper looks at Energy Micro's EFM32 microcontroller family, which it says has an energy consumption many times lower than any other microcontroller family today, whether you benchmark with leading 8, 16 or 32 bit microcontrollers.
