Microcontroller starter kit has low current active mode and short wake-up times

Available from RS Components, the Silicon Labs Pearl Gecko starter kit (SLSTK3401A) enables you to evaluate both EFM32 Pearl Gecko and EFM32 Jade Gecko based products. The microcontrollers feature a powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 Core and the Jade Gecko an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU. They offer a wide array of peripherals and a cryptographic hardware engine supporting AES, ECC, and SHA. With low current active mode and short wake-up times, Jade and Pearl Gecko Microcontrollers are perfect for battery powered applications and other low energy systems. The Silicon Labs microcontrollers target energy sensitive applications, including smart metering, gas/energy/water metering, remote sensing, building automation, security systems, portable health/fitness equipment and smart accessories.
