EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 Descripción general
An ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller is a 32-bit RISC processor core widely adopted in energy-constrained embedded systems. The Cortex-M3 sits inside a hierarchy of low-power MCU -> 32-bit MCU -> ARM-based MCU -> embedded microcontroller, and the EFM32LG Leopard Gecko family extends that architecture with Silicon Labs' proprietary low-energy peripherals, fast wake-up, and autonomous sensor interfaces that allow the CPU to remain dormant while peripherals service I/O events.
Key features of the EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 include a 48 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 core, 128 KB on-chip Flash program memory, 32 KB RAM, an integrated 12-bit ADC, multiple communication interfaces (USART, SPI, I2C), low-energy timers, a real-time counter, and 86 GPIO pins. It supports an operating voltage range from 1.98 V to 3.8 V and an industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C, with autonomous peripherals that keep the CPU in sleep mode whenever possible.
The device uses a low-leakage CMOS process and Silicon Labs' LESENSE / peripheral reflex system, which lets capacitive, inductive, and analog sensors be scanned without waking the core. This makes the Leopard Gecko well-suited to battery-powered sensor nodes, energy harvesting endpoints, and wearable medical patches where active-mode duty cycle is below one percent. The 14x14 mm LQFP-100 footprint also simplifies manual prototyping and hand-solder rework.
Typical applications include IoT sensor nodes, wireless M-bus and sub-GHz metering, smart thermostats and HVAC controls, wearable health monitors, and industrial alarm panels. The 86 GPIOs allow direct drive of segmented LCDs (via on-chip LCD controller), keypads, and multiple UART peripherals without external bus expanders.
When designing with the EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100, follow the Silicon Labs EFM32LG reference manual and use Simplicity Studio as the IDE for energy-aware profiling. Decouple VDD with 100 nF + 4.7 uF ceramic capacitors close to each supply pin and route the 32.768 kHz crystal traces symmetrically with a guard ring to minimize load capacitance drift across temperature.

Aplicaciones típicas
EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes, Smart Metering and Sub-GHz Wireless Endpoints, Wearable Health and Fitness Devices, Industrial Sensor and Alarm Panels, Smart Home Thermostats and HVAC Controllers, Energy-Harvesting Wireless Switches.
Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Nodes
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 is ideal for battery-powered IoT sensor nodes thanks to its 0.65 uA Stop current and 211 uA/MHz Run current, which directly extend coin-cell lifetime into multi-year ranges. The LESENSE peripheral autonomously scans capacitive, inductive, and analog sensors without waking the Cortex-M3 core, allowing wake-on-event operation at sub-1 uA quiescent draw. The 86 GPIOs support multiple sensor I/O buses (I2C, SPI, analog) without external expanders. Designers typically pair it with a sub-GHz or BLE radio module, route VDD with 100 nF + 4.7 uF ceramic decoupling, and use Simplicity Studio's energy profiler to validate duty-cycle assumptions before firmware release.
Recomendado
Smart Metering and Sub-GHz Wireless Endpoints
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 fits sub-GHz wireless metering endpoints where monthly battery swaps are unacceptable. Its 32 KB RAM hosts M-Bus, Wireless M-Bus, or proprietary sub-GHz protocol stacks, while 128 KB Flash stores metering firmware and calibration tables. The 12-bit ADC provides direct connection to current-sense and voltage-divider metering front-ends, and the low-energy timers drive RTC wake events for periodic interval reads. The 100-LQFP (14x14 mm) footprint accommodates a single-ended whip antenna keep-out and a large ground pour for RF stability. Compared to STM32L0 designs, the EFM32LG's 211 uA/MHz Run current reduces average consumption by roughly 30-40%.
Recomendado
Wearable Health and Fitness Devices
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 suits wearable health devices that require always-on heart-rate, SpO2, or motion sensing with multi-day battery life. Its 0.65 uA Stop mode keeps the device in deep sleep between sample intervals, while the LESENSE peripheral and ADC handle PPG/optical sensor scanning autonomously. The 86 GPIO count allows simultaneous connection to a BLE SoC, an SPI display, an I2C accelerometer, and a haptic driver without bus muxing. With 128 KB Flash and 32 KB RAM, the firmware can run a sensor-fusion algorithm alongside a Bluetooth Low Energy GATT profile. The LQFP-100 package fits inside a typical wrist-watch PCB once LEDs, display, and battery are placed.
Recomendado
Industrial Sensor and Alarm Panels
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 fits industrial sensor panels and alarm controllers operating from -40C to +85C with 24V or battery backup. Its 1.98-3.8 V supply tolerates wide industrial rails, while 86 GPIOs handle multiple relay outputs, opto-isolated inputs, keypads, and segmented LCDs. The Cortex-M3 at 48 MHz executes Modbus, CAN, or proprietary fieldbus stacks in real time, and 32 KB RAM supports buffering alarm event logs. Compared to 8-bit PIC alternatives, the EFM32LG delivers deterministic Cortex-M3 interrupt latency while still maintaining <1 uA Stop current for battery-backed fire and intrusion panels during AC power loss.
Recomendado
Smart Home Thermostats and HVAC Controllers
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 supports smart thermostats driving relays, triacs, and NTC temperature sensors with tight standby budgets. Its 12-bit ADC reads multiple NTCs simultaneously for room, outdoor, and supply-air sensing, while the low-energy timers schedule PWM outputs for triac phase-angle control. The 86 GPIOs accept keypad inputs, drive LED status rings, and connect to a TFT display over SPI. The 128 KB Flash holds HVAC control firmware plus a ZigBee or Thread stack, and 32 KB RAM supports buffering telemetry during network outages. The LQFP-100 (14x14 mm) footprint provides thermal isolation from the triac heatsink area.
Recomendado
Energy-Harvesting Wireless Switches
The EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 enables self-powered wireless light switches and door sensors that harvest energy from kinetic or photovoltaic sources. Its 0.65 uA Stop current and 2 us wake-up time let the device sleep between user presses and instantly transmit on a sub-GHz or BLE packet. The integrated 12-bit ADC measures the harvester's storage capacitor voltage, while LESENSE detects the press event without waking the core. The 100-LQFP package allows a generous ground pour that doubles as the antenna reference plane, improving link margin in metal-junction-box installations.

Notas de diseño
Estimated: at 48 MHz active CPU, the EFM32LG280F128G-F-QFP100 consumes approximately 10.1 mA (211 uA/MHz x 48 MHz). In Stop mode the device draws 0.65 uA, so an IoT node that wakes for 5 ms every 5 s spends 99.9% of its life in Stop mode with an average current below 11 uA. Always enable the low-energy peripherals (LESENSE, RTC, LETIMER) before Stop entry to avoid higher-than-expected leakage. Place 100 nF + 4.7 uF ceramic decoupling on each VDD pin within 3 mm to suppress switching transients during peripheral wake events.
Route the 32.768 kHz low-frequency crystal traces (LFXTAL_P, LFXTAL_N, pins 98-99) symmetrically with matched trace lengths under 5 mm and surround them with a grounded guard ring to minimize load-capacitance drift across temperature. Place the high-frequency crystal (HFXTAL_P, HFXTAL_N, pins 96-97) on a dedicated ground island tied to VSS at a single point to prevent switching-noise injection into the LF oscillator. Keep digital switching traces away from the analog AVDD rail and use a 10 ohm ferrite bead to isolate AVDD from VDD if ADC accuracy is required.
Do not leave unused GPIO pins floating - configure them as output driven low or input with enabled pull to prevent shoot-through current and unstable Stop-mode consumption. When migrating from the older EFM32G Gecko family, verify that the peripheral reflex routing differs in the Leopard Gecko - registers PRRSENABLE and PRSCHCTRL must be re-initialized even if firmware appears compatible. For firmware updates, use the bootloader over UART or SPI instead of SWD in production to avoid exposing the debug interface; lock the debug port using the AAP lock bits after final test.
