EFM32 Gecko Family
EFM32G Data Sheet
The EFM32 Gecko MCUs are the world’s most energy-friendly mi-
crocontrollers.
The EFM32G offers unmatched performance and ultra low power consumption in both
active and sleep modes. EFM32G devices consume as little as 0.6 μA in Stop mode and
180 μA/MHz in Run mode. It also features autonomous peripherals, high overall chip and
analog integration, and the performance of the industry standard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3
processor, making it perfect for battery-powered systems and systems with high-per-
formance, low-energy requirements.
EFM32G applications include the following:
• Energy, gas, water and smart metering
• Health and fitness applications
• Smart accessories
• Alarm and security systems
• Industrial and home automation
KEY FEATURES
• ARM Cortex-M3 at 32 MHz
• Ultra low power operation
• 0.6 μA current in Stop (EM3), with
brown-out detection and RAM retention
• 45 μA/MHz in EM1
• 180 μA/MHz in Run mode (EM0)
• Fast wake-up time of 2 µs
• Hardware cryptography (AES)
• Up to 128 kB of Flash and 16 kB of RAM
