Wireless Gecko SoCs tackle multi-protocol IoT design



Wireless Gecko SoCs tackle multi-protocol IoT design

: The latest release from Silicon Labs, the EFR32xG12, has been added to the Wireless Gecko system on chip (SoC) family. It offers connectivity, memory and peripheral features, and is designed to supports complex internet of things (IoT) applications, says the company.

The EFR32xG12 Wireless Gecko SoC allows developers of all skill levels to add versatile multi-protocol switching capabilities to IoT applications. The EFR32xG12 SoCs support a range of multi-protocol, multi-band use cases for home automation, connected lighting, wearables and industrial IoT. The SoCs combine RF performance, with enhanced cryptography acceleration, large memory options, on-chip capacitive touch control, and additional low-power peripherals and sensor interfaces. 

The capability for multi-protocol connectivity helps developers to simplify networked lighting control designs, for example, and satisfy the need for ease of installation and over-the-air (OTA) upgrades that extend product life.
