SiLabs to unveil ultra-low energy
solutions for IoT
Silicon Labs will showcase an array of semi-
conductor, software and systems solutions for
the Internet of Things market at Embedded
World 2014. Targeting connected device ap-
plications for the IoT, the mixed-signal tech-
nology leader will demonstrate its latest ener-
gy-friendly ARM based microcontrollers, Zig-
Bee and sub-GHz wireless connectivity solu-
tions, high-accuracy sensors and its next-gen-
eration embedded development platform.
Silicon Labs’ demonstrations will highlight the
energy efficiency and performance of its flag-
ship embedded products, as well as the ease of
use of its energy-aware development tools:
Discover how EFM32 Zero Gecko MCUs –
the world’s lowest energy 32-bit MCUs – can
be combined with small-footprint, accurate
and easy-to-use sensors to create innovative
smart home, smart energy and security appli-
cations for the IoT that can sense temperature,
relative humidity, ambient light, intrusion and
gestures, all within the extreme power con-
straints required for long battery life.
The Simplicity Studio development platform
provides a unified, comprehensive ecosystem
and portal for developers using Silicon Labs’
32-bit EFM32 Gecko MCUs and 8-bit MCUs.
Simplify your design effort with Simplicity
Studio’s IDE, hardware configurator, build
tools and real-time power analyzer, supported
by demos, software examples, data sheets, ap-
plication notes and access to technical support
and community forums.
Discover the right energy-saving EFM32 Gecko
MCU solution for your next embedded appli-
cation. Silicon Labs’ 32-bit portfolio includes
more than 240 orderableEFM32 Gecko prod-
ucts based on ARM Cortex-M0+, M3 and
floating-point-enabled M4 processors. No other
MCU vendor can match the energy efficiency
of Gecko MCUs for battery-powered IoT and
wearable computing applications.
Si106x/8x s wireless MCUs provide an ener-
gy-friendly, single-chip MCU + transceiver
solution to address the power and space con-
straints of battery-operated, wirelessly con-
nected devices. Silicon Labs’ Si4356 EZRadio
receiver provides an easy-to-use sub-GHz wire-
less solution for remote controls, RKE, sensor
networks, security and smart homes. The
Si4356 receiver combines ultra-low power (50
nA standby current) with excellent sensitivity
to enable superior battery life. This small-
footprint (3 mm x 3 mm) standalone receiver
is easy to configure and comes with tested,
ready-to-use antennas.
Continuing its tradition of showcasing devel-
opment tools at Embedded World, Silicon
Labs will have EFM32 Zero Gecko MCU starter
kits and sensor boards available to give away
to qualified developers visiting.

PEAK-System: evaluation board
for industrial communication
For the ARM7 microcontroller gridARM,
PEAK-System provides an evaluation board
as development platform. The Linux-based
system leads out the microcontroller interfaces
Gigabit Ethernet, High-speed CAN, USB 2.0,
RS-232, SPI, and I²C. Furthermore, the board
has 8 digital inputs and 8 outputs as well as 5
analog inputs that can be influenced or dis-
played by the board components for testing
purposes. As mass storage, a microSD card
can be used in the corresponding slot.

AdaCore: GNAT Pro selected for financial
system development
AdaCore announced the adoption of the
GNAT Pro Ada Development Environment
by Deep Blue Capital, a propriety trading
firm. DBC rotates teams through the world
time zones at its Amsterdam-based offices to
trade twenty-four hours a day on all of the
world’s major stock exchanges. DBC employs
algorithmic trading systems developed in Ada
with AdaCore’s GNAT Pro development en-
vironment; these systems gather market in-
formation and automatically send buy and
sell orders with minimal human intervention.
DBC, a small company with fewer than twenty
employees, can operate globally because of its
efficient and reliable software.
