Solid State Supplies adds low power microcontroller line Energy Micro to its linecard

Solid State Supplies' proven track record in demand creation combined with their strong focus on the embedded market make them an ideal match for Energy Micro's product portfolio in the UK, states Ian Fletcher, VP Sales EMEA, Energy Micro. Solid State's highly skilled and experienced team of field application and sales engineers have an in-depth knowledge of low-power embedded applications and will be an invaluable support to embedded engineers looking for ways to reduce the power consumption of their designs.
Energy Micro's innovative approach to power saving puts them well ahead of the competition whilst still employing an industry standard platform. In an era when milliwatts matter, Energy Micro leads the field and fits perfectly into our processor and embedded platforms portfolio, comments John Macmichael, Commercial Director, Solid State Supplies.

Energy Micro has developed the world's lowest power microcontrollers, based on modern and powerful microprocessor architectures. The company's EFM32 series delivers a unique combination of 32-bit performance with ultra-low power consumption comparable to today's 8-bit microcontrollers. The devices feature a 32-bit 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.
