EFR32BG22 Series 2 Bluetooth® Wireless SoC From Silicon Labs

IoT security is key to protecting company brands, end user privacy and commercial viability of products. Vulnerabilities can be exploited through both remote Internet attacks and physical hands-on-attacks.

Developers using the Silicon Labs wireless product portfolio including those in the EFR32BG22 portfolio have access to a number of technologies designed to protect their product, including Secure Debug, Secure Boot with Root of Trust & Secure Loader.


EFR32BG22 (BG22) Bluetooth low energy (LE) wireless SoC solutions are part of the Wireless Gecko Series 2 platform. The BG22 family's combination of best-in-class ultra-low transmit and receive power (4.1 mA TX at 0 dBm, 3.6 mA RX) and a high-performance, low-power Arm® Cortex®-M33 core (27 µA/MHz active, 1.2 µA sleep) delivers industry-leading energy efficiency that can extend coin cell battery life up to ten years. Target applications include Bluetooth mesh low-power nodes, smart door locks, personal healthcare and fitness devices. Asset tracking tags, beacons and indoor navigation also benefit from the SoCs' versatile Bluetooth Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD) capabilities and sub-one-meter location accuracy.
