The information on this page summarizes the key advantages of the family including their very low power consumption and the fact that all the algorithms are embedded because it is a Finite State Machine. Also, the newer generation of products provide even higher sensitivity, better filtering, and the built-in ratio-metric engine. There are two key differentiators of these devices when they are compared to the competition: built-in PWM controllers and a separate bank of the GPIOs and I/Os that can also be independently configured to be the sensing channel or GPIO.
