Precision32™ Devices

Silicon Labs' has launched its first 32-bit microcontroller family which more than doubles its MCU addressable market. The new Precision32™ ARM Cortex M3 family of microcontrollers is poised to immediately capture significant market share by providing fundamental advantages at a lower total solution cost. The Precision32 family offers industry-leading benefits in terms of low power, analog capabilities, configurability, USB integration and development time. With more than 30 different MCUs immediately available, the Precision32 family services a wide range of applications offering footprint compatible USB (SiM3U1xx) and non-USB (SiM3C1xx) devices that range in flash size from 32‒256 kB.
