The entire STM8L family and ST’s STM32L family using the
industry-standard 32-bit ARMŽ Cortex™-M3 CPU core, is built using ST’s
EnergyLite ultra-low-power platform.
This platform combines a
proprietary 130nm ultra-low leakage process with ultra low-power
non-volatile memory (EEPROM), and achieves dynamic current consumption
as low as 150uA/MHz.
Together,
these enhancements dramatically reduce dynamic and static power
consumption, enabling forthcoming families of microcontrollers
delivering better performance per Watt than the most frugal low-power
devices on the market today.
The
power-management architecture also saves power in all modes through
techniques such as low-voltage operation of the core and ultra-fast
4-microseconds wake-up from low-power states.
