MCU with on-board sensor subsystem manages power consumption through wake cues

Intel® Quark SE C1000 microcontroller, available now from Mouser, brings intelligent power to the edge by combining a microcontroller with an on-board sensor subsystem to manage power consumption through programmable wake cues. This microcontroller includes sophisticated pattern matching technology that allows it to learn through pattern recognition and differentiate appropriate response events. It can provide a more real-time response, such as in an industrial setting, monitoring energy consumption and triggering an event if an anomalous event occurs. It can also reduce costs by lowering the number of gateways required to manage edge data. This microcontroller includes an internal sensor hub, which manages multiple sensors—allowing it to support more peripherals. It also allows the main CPU to sleep, until the sensor controller wakes it up based on programmable cues, resulting in very low energy consumption. It is interoperable with other Intel-based systems, simplifying integration of edge products in end-to-end IoT architectures. More can be handled at the device level, reducing the need for larger gateways.
