Solid State Supplies signs 32bit deal with Energy Micro

Under a recently signed distribution agreement, Solid State Supplies will distribute Energy Micro's EFM32 microcontrollers in the UK. According to the company, the EFM32 is the first 32bit ARM Cortex-M3 product that addresses the low power mixed signal microcontroller market and is suited to ultra low power and battery operated applications.

The EFM32 series delivers a combination of 32bit performance with a power consumption comparable to that of current 8bit microcontrollers. The devices feature a 32bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor and offer fast interrupt response while maintaining excellent code density. Low standby current and the use of various energy modes keep power consumption to a minimum. The devices are equipped with a broad range of autonomous peripherals that can operate without requiring cpu intervention, to further decrease power consumption. The EFM32 family is available in standard, application specific and custom versions.
