Smart Entertainment Devices

EFR32BG22 and EFR32BG22E Bluetooth low energy (LE) wireless SoC solutions are part of the Wireless Gecko Series 2 platform. These devices are designed with a strong focus on energy efficiency, offering best-in-class ultra-low transmit and receive power, and a high-performance, low-power Arm® Cortex®-M33 core delivers industry-leading energy efficiency that can extend coin cell battery life up to ten years. Where BG22 allows you to create energy-efficient applications, the BG22E – ‘E’ denoting Energy Conservation – takes this a step further by enhancing battery longevity and supporting designs that eliminate the need for batteries altogether. Our BG22 and BG22E family's are the ideal market leading SoCs for Ambient IoT or Energy Harvesting devices. Target applications include Bluetooth mesh low-power nodes, smart door locks, personal healthcare and fitness devices. Asset tracking tags, beacons and indoor navigation also benefit from the SoCs' versatile Bluetooth Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD) capabilities and sub-one-meter location accuracy.

The EFR32BG27 family of wireless SoCs opens up new possibilities by offering an ultra-small WLCSP package (2.3 mm x 2.6 mm) capable of running on button cell batteries. Now device makers can address applications with extremely small form-factor requirements without sacrificing performance and security. The BG27 Bluetooth SoC features an integrated DCDC boost that allows operation down to 0.8 volts, enabling support for single-cell alkaline and 1.5-volt button cell batteries that are typically used in medical applications for battery-operated patches and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Additionally, the wakeup pin on the BG27 allows products in a warehouse or transit to remain off for months, consuming less than 20 nA, ensuring the battery remains fully charged for use. The integrated coulomb counter enables accurate battery level monitoring to avoid unexpected battery depletion for critical applications. Target applications include connected medical devices, wearables, sensors, switches, smart locks, and both commercial and LED lighting.

The EFR32BG24 Wireless SoCs are ideal for IOT wireless connectivity using Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth mesh for smart home, lighting, and portable medical products. With AECQ-100 qualification, support for Channel Sounding, and key features like high performance 2.4 GHz RF, low current consumption, an AI/ML hardware accelerator and Secure Vault™, IoT device makers can create the smart, robust, and energy-efficient products that are secure from remote and local cyber-attacks. An ARM Cortex®-M33 running up to 78 MHz and up to 1.5 MB of Flash and 256 kB of RAM provides resources for demanding applications while leaving room for future growth. Target applications include gateways/hubs, sensors, switches, door locks, smart plugs, LED lighting, luminaires, blood glucose meters and pulse oximeters.

EFR32FG22 and EFR32FG22E proprietary wireless 2.4 GHz SoC solutions are part of the Wireless Gecko Series 2 platform. FG22 SoCs integrate a 38.4 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core with TrustZone and a high-performance radio with a receive sensitivity of -102.3 dBm. Where FG22 allows you to create energy-efficient applications, the FG22E – ‘E’ denoting Energy Conservation – takes this a step further by enhancing battery longevity and supporting designs that eliminate the need for batteries altogether. The SoC's combination of ultra-low transmit and receive power (8.2 mA TX at +6 dBm, 3.6 mA RX), 1.2 µA deep-sleep mode power and innovative low-power features such as RFSense delivers industry-leading energy efficiency to extend the operational life of products with limited battery or energy harvesting options such as those used by electronic shelf labels and industrial wireless sensor nodes.

Our SiWx917M SoC is our lowest power Wi-Fi 6 SoC, ideal for ultra-low power IoT wireless devices using Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth, Matter, and IP networking for secure cloud connectivity. It is optimal for developing battery operated devices that need long battery life. SiWx917M SoC includes an ultra-low power Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy LE 5.4 wireless CPU subsystem, and an integrated micro-controller (MCU) application subsystem, security, peripherals and power management subsystem all in a single 7x7 mm QFN package. The wireless subsystem consists of a Network Wireless Processor running up to 160 MHz, baseband digital signal processing, analog front end, 2.4 GHz RF transceiver and integrated power amplifier. The application subsystem consists of an ARM® Cortex®-M4F running up to 180 MHz, embedded SRAM, FLASH, and Sensor Hub. The ARM® Cortex®-M4F is dedicated for peripheral and application-related processing, while the network wireless processor runs the wireless and networking stacks on independent threads, thus providing a fully integrated solution that is ready for a wide range of embedded wireless IoT applications.

Target applications include Smart Homes, Consumer Health and Wearables, Medical, Industrial, Retail, Smart Building and Cities, Asset Tracking.
