System Overview
3.7.2 Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (LEUART)
The unique LEUART^TM provides two-way UART communication on a strict power budget. Only a 32.768 kHz clock is needed to allow
UART communication up to 9600 baud. The LEUART includes all necessary hardware to make asynchronous serial communication
possible with a minimum of software intervention and energy consumption.
3.7.3 Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface (I²C)
The I²C module provides an interface between the MCU and a serial I²C bus. It is capable of acting as both a master and a slave and
supports multi-master buses. Standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates from 10
kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s. Slave arbitration and timeouts are also available, allowing implementation of an SMBus-compliant system. The
interface provided to software by the I²C module allows precise timing control of the transmission process and highly automated trans-
fers. Automatic recognition of slave addresses is provided in active and low energy modes.
3.7.4 Peripheral Reflex System (PRS)
The Peripheral Reflex System provides a communication network between different peripheral modules without software involvement.
Peripheral modules producing Reflex signals are called producers. The PRS routes Reflex signals from producers to consumer periph-
erals which in turn perform actions in response. Edge triggers and other functionality can be applied by the PRS. The PRS allows pe-
ripheral to act autonomously without waking the MCU core, saving power.
3.8 Security Features
3.8.1 GPCRC (General Purpose Cyclic Redundancy Check)
The GPCRC module implements a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function. It supports both 32-bit and 16-bit polynomials. The sup-
ported 32-bit polynomial is 0x04C11DB7 (IEEE 802.3), while the 16-bit polynomial can be programmed to any value, depending on the
needs of the application.
3.8.2 Crypto Accelerator (CRYPTO)
The Crypto Accelerator is a fast and energy-efficient autonomous hardware encryption and decryption accelerator. EFR32 devices sup-
port various levels of hardware-accelerated encryption, depending on the part number. The Ordering Information Table specifies wheth-
er this part has full or AES-only crypto support. AES-only devices support AES encryption and decryption with 128- or 256-bit keys.
Full crypto support adds ECC over both GF(P) and GF(2^m), SHA-1 and SHA-2 (SHA-224 and SHA-256).
Supported modes of operation for AES include: ECB, CTR, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, CBC-MAC, GMAC and CCM.
Supported ECC NIST recommended curves include P-192, P-224, P-256, K-163, K-233, B-163 and B-233.
The CRYPTO is tightly linked to the Radio Buffer Controller (BUFC) enabling fast and efficient autonomous cipher operations on data
buffer content. It allows fast processing of GCM (AES), ECC and SHA with little CPU intervention. CRYPTO also provides trigger sig-
nals for DMA read and write operations.
3.9 Analog
3.9.1 Analog Port (APORT)
The Analog Port (APORT) is an analog interconnect matrix allowing access to analog modules ADC, ACMP, and IDAC on a flexible
selection of pins. Each APORT bus consists of analog switches connected to a common wire. Since many clients can operate differen-
tially, buses are grouped by X/Y pairs.
3.9.2 Analog Comparator (ACMP)
The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is high-
er. Inputs are selected from among internal references and external pins. The tradeoff between response time and current consumption
is configurable by software. Two 6-bit reference dividers allow for a wide range of internally-programmable reference sources. The
ACMP can also be used to monitor the supply voltage. An interrupt can be generated when the supply falls below or rises above the
programmable threshold.
