The Sensor Controller is a small programmable CPU core that is highly 
optimized for low power consumption and efficient peripheral operation. It 
can perform simple background tasks autonomously and allow the System CPU and 
MCU to remain in sleep mode. This allows for power optimization based on 
events such as wake on temperature, wake on touch, and beyond. It is fully 
configurable by the developer who can write and download code through the 
free online sensor controller studio.
