IoT-enabled Battery Powered Tools

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 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.

EFR32FG12 wireless solutions combine an energy-friendly microcontroller (MCU) with a highly integrated radio transceiver supporting sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz proprietary wireless protocols and proprietary modulation schemes including OOK, shaped FSK, shaped OQPSK with DSSS, with and without FEC. Our solution provides industry-leading energy efficiency, ultra-fast wakeup times, a scalable power amplifier, an integrated 2.4 GHz balun and extensive MCU features. The devices are well suited for any battery-operated application and other systems requiring high performance and low energy consumption.

The EFR32FG23 Flex Gecko SoC is an ideal solution for sub-GHz IoT wireless connectivity for smart home, security, lighting, building automation, and metering. The high-performance sub-GHz radio provides long range and is not susceptible to 2.4 GHz interference from technologies. The single die, multi-core solution, provides industry leading security, low power consumption with fast wakeup times, and an integrated power amplifier to enable the next generation of secure connectivity for IoT devices.

Silicon Labs' RS9116 wireless modules are single and dual-band modules that provide a comprehensive multi-protocol wireless connectivity solution including Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth 5. The wireless modules offer high throughput, extended range with power-optimized performance. The wireless modules are FCC, IC, and ETSI/CE certified.

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.
