The document compares the power modes and characteristics of various microcontrollers from manufacturers like STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Microchip, and Atmel. It provides data on the active, standby, and sleep power consumption as well as parameters like operating voltage and wakeup time. The MAX32620 microcontroller from Maxim Integrated is highlighted as consuming 95uA/MHz in active mode while offering ultra low power modes down to 600nA with RTC enabled, fast 5us wakeup time, and large flash and RAM capacity in a small package.

17. Max32620 is the best choice when the designer wants
the ultra low power consumption with more flash and
RAM in the single package
ADuCM3027/9 is best when designer want ultra low
power and medium RAM memory size
Toshiba TZ series is the best solution for wearable
device design where designer requires the BLE
embedded in the controller and consumes the ultra low
power with more flash and RAM memory
