EFM32 Leopard Gecko Family
EFM32LG Data Sheet
The EFM32 Leopard Gecko MCUs are the world’s most energy-
friendly microcontrollers.
The EFM32LG offers unmatched performance and ultra-low power consumption in both
active and sleep modes. EFM32LG devices consume as little as 0.65 μA in Stop mode
and 211 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.
EFM32LG applications include the following:
KEY FEATURES
