SiLEFR32MG21B020F1024IM32-B
Overview
The EFR32MG21B020F1024IM32-B is a high-performance Wireless SoC from the Mighty Gecko Series 2 family, featuring an 80 MHz ARM Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone. It supports multiple 2.4 GHz mesh protocols including Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth 5.1 with a dedicated 20 dBm output power for extended range. This part is specifically designed for secure, line-powered IoT applications that require robust wireless connectivity and advanced hardware-level security.
Why Choose This Part
The SoC integrates a high-gain 20 dBm power amplifier and -104.9 dBm sensitivity, significantly improving link budget and reducing the need for external range extenders. Its Cortex-M33 architecture provides a 20 percent performance increase over previous M4-based designs while consuming only 50.9 microamps per MHz in active mode. Hardware acceleration for cryptography and DPA countermeasures provide industry-leading security for mission-critical deployments.
