EFR32FG25 Sub-GHz Wireless SoCs
EFR32FG25
Silicon Labs' proprietary wireless portfolio ranges from transceivers to multi-band wireless SoCs for IoT applications. Their devices offer ultra-low power, longest range, up to 20 dBm output power and several modulation schemes, while covering major frequency bands.
Description
EFR32FG25 wireless SoCs are an ideal solution for long range, Sub-GHz wireless connectivity for smart metering, lighting, city and building automation. The inclusion of multi-rate OFDM, FSK, and OPSK modulation schemes allows for data rates up to 3.6 Mbps while keeping immunity to 2.4 GHz interference. The large memory footprint and increased IO count allows for design consolidation and when combined with Secure Vault™ can provide higher level system security.
Applications
- Smart Electric Metering
- Street Lighting
- Distribution automation
- Industrial applications
- Municipal infrastructure
