Secure Bluetooth® Low Energy Microcontroller from onsemi Sets Industry Record for Power Efficiency

Expanding the onsemi portfolio of Bluetooth LE enabled solutions, the RSL15 offers enhanced security and processing capabilities with innovative smart sensing features

PHOENIX – Nov. 29, 2021 – onsemi (Nasdaq:ON), a leader in intelligent power and sensing technologies, today announced that its new, secure RSL15 wireless microcontroller (MCU) provides the industry’s lowest power consumption. Enabled with Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless connectivity, the RSL15 addresses the growing demand of connected industrial applications for security without sacrificing power consumption.

To validate energy efficiency, the RSL15 was certified by the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC). The organization’s ULPMark™-CoreMark benchmark program measures the energy efficiency of microcontrollers used in embedded systems while active. The RSL15 now leads its class by attaining a ‘performance’ score of 60.5. Within the ULPMark- CoreProfile benchmark, which calculates the deep sleep efficiency of MCUs, onsemi has also maintained the top two placements with the RSL10 and RSL15 respectively.

“From beacons for contact tracing to trackable asset tags, there are millions of connected devices globally operating off of small batteries,” said Patrick Moorhead, CEO, founder and chief analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, “By setting a new record in Bluetooth 5.2 energy efficiency in the EEMBC ULPMark™ CoreMark program, the RSL15 will help these applications, amongst many others, achieve a battery life greater than they ever thought to be possible.”
