Key features include XLP technology that reduces the active current and the overall power consumption for low power applications. The V_BAT pins allow for the automatic power up of the RTCC. The GA310 family also features 12-bit, 24-ch ADC with threshold detect feature that sets limits without CPU intervention. The 480 Segment LCD Driver with eight commons provides support for more flexible and informative displays. This driver also reduces the cost of LCD drive circuits. The six channel DMA increases the throughput of high bandwidth peripherals there by reducing the power consumed.
