1 Energy Friendly Microcontrollers
1.1 Typical Applications
The EFM32GG Giant Gecko is the ideal choice for demanding 8-, 16-, and 32-bit energy sensitive
applications. The devices are developed to minimise the product of power and time over all phases
of MCU operation. This unique combination of ultra low energy consumption and the performance of
the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor helps designers get more out of the available energy source in a
variety of applications.
Ultra low energy EFM32GG microcontrollers are perfect for:
• Gas metering
• Energy metering
• Water metering
• Smart metering
• Alarm and security systems
• Health and fitness applications
• Industrial and home automation

1.2 EFM32GG Development
Because EFM32GG use the Cortex-M3 CPU, embedded designers benefit from a large existing
ecosystem of industry standard development. The development suite spans the whole design process
and includes powerful debug tools and some of the world’s top brand compilers. Libraries with
documentation and user examples shorten time from idea to market release.
The range of EFM32GG devices ensures easy migration and feature upgrade possibilities.
