Precision32 32-bit Microcontroller Overview
Silicon Labs announces the Precision32 microcontroller family, engineered to make your job easier. These new MCUs offer unprecedented flexibility in choosing your peripherals and their pinout placement, and feature best-in-class analog and peripherals, integrating commonly used features into the MCU such as two oscillators, USB, high drive I/O, and capacitive touch buttons. These highly-configurable MCUs allow developers to choose amongst 28 analog to digital channels with multiple modes including 8, 10, 12-bit, interleaving mode (up to 2 Msps sampling), programmable auto scan to switch between channels without CPU intervention and also burst mode to auto average up to 64 samples. These Precision32 32-bit MCUs do all this work with ultra low power consumption. Video 
AppBuilder Rapid Prototyping Tool for 32-bit Microcontrollers
This is an overview of Silicon Labs' AppBuilder rapid prototyping utility for Precision32 32-bit microcontrollers. As the centerpiece of the Precision32 Development Environment, the AppBuilder provides unprecedented flexibility in designing with 32-bit ARM microcontrollers put practically any peripheral on any pin.

Advanced Hardware Development Kit for 32-bit Microcontrollers
Overview of Silicon Labs' Unified Development Platform (UDP) – a modular hardware system that makes it easy to evaluate and develop using Silicon Labs' Precision32 32-bit microcontrollers. The unified development platform is built around an MCU card that is on its own a fully functional development system. You can expand its functionality with a motherboard which adds support for I/O cards and wireless cards. The interchangeable components are flexible enough to quickly create advanced prototypes that match closely with your end application. Video
C8051F96x & Si102x/3x DC-DC Converter Enables Extended Battery Life
Silicon Labs' C8051F960 low power microcontroller and Si1020 wireless MCU series include an integrated DC-DC step-down (or buck converter) that allows the voltage to be more efficiently regulated from the supply to the MCU, which results in greatly extended battery life. Video
C8051F96x & Si102x/3x Pulse Counter for Water & Gas Meters
Silicon Labs' C8051F960 low power microcontroller and Si1020 wireless MCU series include an autonomous pulse counter that operates in deep sleep mode. This is a highly valuable peripheral for low power applications needing to accumulate pulses in order to measure flow. Video
Wireless Sensor Node Reference Design Overview
Silicon Labs' energy harvesting reference design uses solar energy to power a wireless sensor node. Based on our ultra-low-power Si10xx wireless MCU, the reference design enables designers to implement self-sustaining, ultra-low-power wireless sensor networks for consumer and industrial applications.
