EFM32-TG-STK3300

...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers EFM32 Tiny Gecko Starter Kit EFM32TG-STK3300 The EFM32 Tiny Gecko Starter Kit is a platform for rapid prototyping of ultra low power microcontroller applications. It consists of a single board with a EFM32TG840F32 MCU and some peripherals specifically chosen to demonstrate the Tiny Gecko Low Energy Sensor Interface (LESENSE). An ambient light sensor to sense differences in light level and an inductive-capacitive metal sensor that can sense proximity to metal are mounted on the board. In addition to this a 160 segment LCD and a capacitive touch slider is included along with user buttons and a LED and a software development environment. All available I/O is placed on breakout pads for easy access. • Advanced Energy Monitor (AEM) • Precise measurement of current and voltage • 0.1 µA to 50 mA measurement range • The AEM measures both the voltage and current of the VMCU rail • Always available when the kit is connected to USB The development kit contains a unique Advanced Energy Monitoring (AEM) system that allows designers to have full control over their application’s energy consumption. • User Interface • 160 segment LCD • 1 User LED • 2 pushbutton switches • 1 system reset pushbutton switch • Touch slider • Inductive-Capacitive metal sensor • Ambient light sensor • EFM32 Op-amp module evaluation footprint The on-board J-Link debugger enables extremely simple setup. The onboard peripherals, breakout pads and the software development environment makes the starter kit a complete basis for getting started with low energy application design and prototyping. • Software • Comprehensive set of board support functions • 32 KB evaluation versions of: ® • IAR Embedded Workbench • Debugging • On-board SEGGER J-Link USB debugger • ARM 20 pin JTAG/SWD Debug in/out connector • Debugging when MCU is powered from battery (debugger still needs USB-power) • Power • Two separate power domains allowing for accurate current and voltage measurements of the application energy consumption. • 5V USB supply • 3V 20mm Coin cell battery supply. • Available I/O • Expansion header for plug-in modules. • Breakout pads: • All EFM32 GPIO not used by LCD • 3V3, 5V unregulated, VMCU, and GND • MCU support • 32.768 kHz crystal • 32 MHz crystal • Selectable Supply • Switch to select between regulated 3.3V supply from USB or unregulated supply from battery. ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 1 Ordering Information Table 1.1.
