Silicon Labs, a leader in secure, intelligent wireless technology, announced the BG24 and MG24 families of 2.4 GHz wireless SoCs for Bluetooth and Multiple-protocol operations, respectively, and a new software toolkit.
This new co-optimized hardware and software platform will help bring AI/ML applications and wireless high performance to battery-powered edge devices. Matter-ready, the ultra-low-power BG24 and MG24 families support multiple wireless protocols and incorporate PSA Level 3 Secure Vault protection, ideal for diverse smart home, medical and industrial applications. The SoC and software solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) announced today includes:
The complete Pro Kit for the new BG24 and MG24 SoCs with all the necessary hardware and software for developing high-volume, scalable 2.4 GHz wireless IoT solutions. The new hardware supports Matter, ZigBee, OpenThread, Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, proprietary and multi-protocol operation.
The development board for the new BG24 and MG24 SoCs, with the integrated 20-bit ADC and numerous external sensors, is the ideal platform for developing AI/ML solutions. The built-in AI/ML hardware accelerator enables up to 4X faster processing of machine learning algorithms with up to 6X lower power consumption.
– Two new families of 2.4 GHz wireless SoCs, which feature the industry’s first integrated AI/ML accelerators, support for Matter, Zigbee, OpenThread, Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, proprietary and multi-protocol operation, the highest level of industry security certification, ultra-low power capabilities and the largest memory and flash capacity in the Silicon Labs portfolio.
– A new software toolkit designed to allow developers to quickly build and deploy AI and machine learning algorithms using some of the most popular tool suites like TensorFlow.
EFR32BG24 and EFR32MG24 SoCs in 5 mm x 5 mm QFN40 and 6 mm x 6 mm QFN48 packages are shipping today to Alpha customers and will be available for mass deployment in April 2022. Multiple evaluation boards are available to designers developing applications. Modules based on the BG24 and MG24 SoCs will be available in the second half of 2022.
