Overview
Meeting the Demand for Smart, Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
Smart LEDs are enabling homeowners to create comfortable, automated living environments while reducing energy consumption and saving money. With the convenience of controlling lights from anywhere through an app or voice assistant, the demand for LED lights is growing, providing manufacturers with long-lasting revenue opportunities.
See how Yeelight uses Silicon Labs BG21 and MG24 for their smart home lighting solutions.
Silicon Labs Wireless IoT Solutions for LED Lighting
Every home is a unique RF challenge. Lights are placed in specific locations and fixtures, regardless of the wireless coverage. How can you optimize range, wall penetration, and latency? What's the best way to merge EMC shielding and antenna design in the bulb base?
Silicon Labs offers manufacturers Smart Lighting optimized solutions, including wireless IoT SoCs and RF-certified modules with built-in antennas accustomed for the bulb form factor, high-temperature ratings, and energy regulations compliancy.
Our wireless SoCs and modules feature up to +20 dBm transmit power for 2.4 GHz, and Sub-GHz solutions, maximizing the range and wall penetration.
The Concurrent Multiprotocol and Concurrent Listening (CMP) allow you to run multiple wireless protocols on a single radio IC. CMP enables lighting devices to operate on Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Matter over Thread networks at the same time, simplifying manufacturing SKUs and consumer usability.
Silicon Labs Smart Lighting optimized products feature many purpose-built components - as and example, Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), an analog comparator (ACMP), ananlog-digital converter (ADC), I2C bus, and several integrated LED lighting specific features.
In additon to hardware, with us you will have a comprehensive offering of software, security, and lifecycle services such as the Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS) allowing you to order customized Silicon Labs products.
