Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 Series 2 Multiprotocol Wireless SoCs

Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 Series 2 Multiprotocol Wireless SoCs are ideal for mesh IoT wireless connectivity using Matter, OpenThread, and Zigbee protocols for smart home, lighting, and building automation products. With key features like high-performance 2.4GHz RF, low current consumption, an AI/ML hardware accelerator, and Secure Vault, IoT device makers can create smart, robust, and energy-efficient products that are secure from remote and local cyber-attacks. An ARM Cortex®-M33 running up to 78MHz, up to 1.5MB of Flash, and up to 256kB of RAM provides resources for demanding applications while leaving room for future growth. Target applications include gateways and hubs, sensors, switches, door locks, LED bulbs, luminaires, location services, predictive maintenance, glass break detection, wake-word detection, and more.
