Our low-power MCUs deliver exceptional energy efficiency through rapid wakeup (as low as 5µs) from deep sleep modes. Whether designing energy harvesting edge devices or battery-operated nodes for internet of things (IoT) applications, our MCUs help increase application lifetime and decrease overall system power. Our robust development ecosystem enables faster time to market with the following tools: MSPM0-Calc for accurate power estimation, CCStudio™ with integrated EnergyTrace™ for real-time µA-level current measurement and debugging, full software development kits (SDKs) with energy-aware example code and optimized low-power peripheral drivers for maximizing energy efficiency.

Entry level MCUs

Low-cost Arm Cortex-M0+ MCUs with easy-to-use tools like ZeroCode Studio and SysConfig. Achieves 71 μA/MHz in run mode, 1uA standby with retention for power efficient embedded systems.

Why choose low-power MCUs?

Fast wake-up

Wake-up times as low as 1μs enable our devices to stay in low-power modes longer, while responding immediately to real-time events.

Independent power domain

Voltage battery (VBAT) enables critical peripherals to remain active when the devices voltage supply is disconnected, ensuring long-term timekeeping or event monitoring.

More compute, less power

Our devices deliver low-power efficiency in active run mode down to 71uA/MHz, enabling more compute per milliwatt for responsive, always-on applications.

Extended battery life

Our devices minimize power consumption in battery-powered applications using advanced standby and shutdown modes, down to 1uA and 16nA respectively, with SRAM retention and GPIO wakeup capabilities.
