Silicon Labs C8051F96x Battery-Powered Metering MCUs

Silicon Labs C8051F96x Ultra-Low-Power High Efficiency Battery-Powered Metering MCUs are the lowest power, most advanced MCU solution for power sensitive embedded systems used in battery-powered and green energy applications. The C8051F96x family has been designed from the ground up to seamlessly interoperate with Silicon Labs' EZRadioPRO® sub-GHz transceivers. The C8051F96x implements the three primary strategies to address each area of the power budget (reduce active mode time, reduce sleep mode power, and improve efficiency of moving energy from the battery to the system).
