MCUs (8-Bit) offer low sleep/active current consumption.(Silicon Labs Microcontrollers Deliver Industry's Lowest Active and Sleep Current)

Able to increase battery life in power-sensitive systems, C8051F91x/0x MCUs offer active mode current consumption down to 160 [micro]A/MHz. In sleep mode, consumption is 300 nA with active RTC and brown-out detect circuit or 10 nA without RTC/brown-out detect circuit while maintaining full RAM retention. Wake-up time is less than 2 [micro]sec, and flash memory options are 8/16 kB. Providing 25 MIPS core performance, MCUs also integrate analog peripherals, such as 12-bit ADC, and DC/DC converter.
