Setting a New Low-Power Benchmark for Arm® Cortex®-M23 and Cortex-M0+ Based Microcontrollers
With the huge growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the widespread use of wearables and low-power accessories, designers increasingly need lower-power solutions that also offer robust security and touch interfaces. Our SAM L family of microcontrollers (MCUs) is built with innovative picoPower® technology to deliver best-in-class low power consumption down to 25 µA/MHz in active mode, under 100 nA in sleep mode and fast wake-up times of 1.2 uS. These MCUs have achieved an EEMBC-certified ULPMark™ score of 410, which is the highest score for an Arm® Cortex®-M23 or Cortex-M0+ class device. In addition to ultra-low-power capabilities, these devices feature an enhanced Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC), robust security, Arm TrustZone® technology, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, Full-Speed USB host and device, Event System and SleepWalking, 12-bit analog, built in op amps and much more.
