Silicon Labs EFM32PG22 MCU Dev Kit

Silicon Laboratories EFM32PG22 MCU Dev Kit is a small and cost-effective, feature-rich prototype and development platform based on the EFM32™ microcontroller. The EFM32PG22 Gecko Microcontrollers are part of the Series 2 Gecko portfolio designed to enable energy-friendly embedded applications. The Silabs PG22 Dev Kit is an ideal platform for developing energy-friendly electronic devices.

The PG22 Dev Kit includes four different environmental sensors and stereo PDM microphones accessible to the EFM32PG22 MCU. Additionally, the Board embeds an 8Mbit serial flash used for general purpose non-volatile memory. The peripherals have been grouped into power domains that can be turned on and off by the application code as needed. A coin cell battery holder makes the PG22 kit like a small self-contained system, easing the development of battery operated products based on EFM32PG22.

Programming the PG22 Dev Kit is quickly done using a USB Micro-B cable and the onboard J-Link debugger. A USB virtual COM port delivers a serial connection to the target application. The PG22 Dev Kit is supported in Simplicity Studio™ and a Board Support Package (BSP), allowing users a quick start.
