This is correct. And I would not encourage using what is likely not your real name. The initial versions of the datasheet will be watermarked.


Um, no.

The initial versions of the datasheet will be read by NOBODY if this is kept up! If you make it hard to see what your product does, who will care?

Learn from STM32 - public datasheet!


The harvester(s) are of course built in. There are some pasives - one resistor for a master bias and a handful caps. The antenna is taken directly in - or solar cell type.

How low power is it - it all depends is the correct answer. The chip is tuned for a few different application scenario:

1. DVFS mode: Here you select a clock speed/voltage your application require - and you will get the associated voltage/clock speed in return. You can doctor your code with calls to have various performance levels.

2. Deadline based: You select a deadline for the work to complete within - and the device will throttle by setting clock speed to match this requirement. The voltage is matched for the selected clock speed.

IO voltage is maintained from a seperate regulator - so internal logic voltage can vary with stable IO voltage.

Mask rom + flash...why? Maskrom for some secure boot stuff, stdlib and math - it is less energy per fetch from mask rom vs. flash. Ideally everything should be in ROM - but that makes it hard for the end user to add his/her application
