EFR32BG22 Series 2 Bluetooth® Wireless SoC
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.
