SiLSiWG917 Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.4 Module
Overview
The SIWT917Y100XGABAR is an ultra-low-power Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 wireless module powered by an integrated ARM Cortex-M4 processor running at up to 180 MHz. It features a Matrix Vector Processor (MVP) for AI/ML acceleration and a robust security suite including PUF-based hardware identity and secure boot. With 4MB of flash and 320KB of RAM, it provides a single-chip solution for battery-operated IoT devices requiring advanced connectivity and local intelligence.
Why Choose This Part
This module stands out by offering integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) capabilities which improve network efficiency in congested environments and reduce power consumption via Target Wake Time (TWT). The inclusion of a dedicated AI/ML hardware accelerator allows for complex data processing without taxing the main ARM Cortex-M4 core. Its comprehensive security architecture, featuring hardware-accelerated encryption and secure attestation, ensures high-level protection for sensitive industrial and consumer applications.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers should use the Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio IDE which provides the necessary SDKs for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stacks. To evaluate the SIWT917Y100XGABAR, the SiWG917 Radio Board (SiWG917-RB4338A) can be used in conjunction with a Wireless Pro Kit Mainboard for rapid prototyping. The module supports power management optimization through Simplicity Studio's Energy Profiler tool to verify the ultra-low current consumption in various PS sleep modes.
