Why is the ultra-low-power wireless MCU the new darling of the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things has become more and more popular in recent years. Many semiconductor manufacturers or terminal manufacturers are considering having a place in the hot field of the Internet of Things. There are many new IoT products on the market today. How many wireless technologies do these products connect to the Internet?

Wireless MCU becomes the new trend of IoT wireless connection in the future

In the currently popular IoT market, many devices are very sensitive to power consumption and cost, and generally only use one of many wireless technologies as their communication method. For the development of wireless technology in the Internet of Things, integrating some wireless communication functions in the MCU is a future development trend. Today's IoT products often require battery power, so they must be low power. Silicon Labs' Si106x/8x Wireless MCU is an ultra-low-power, single-chip "MCU+Wireless Transceiver" solution that fully addresses the needs of the Internet of Things for low-power and RF-connected applications, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. Small-volume wireless home products such as smart home, RFID, network sensors, security and access control, asset tracking, and remote control.

Compact package for space-constrained applications

Shiqiang's Si106x/8x is the industry's smallest packaged Sub-GHz wireless MCU, which integrates an energy-efficient 8051 MCU and Sub-GHz RF transceiver in a tiny 5mm x 6mm QFN package. This compact package makes the Si106x/8x wireless MCU ideal for wearable devices that require wireless connectivity and space-constrained applications, such as fitness trackers or smart watches with very small usable board area, which designers need to be limited Create a differentiated wearable product within the space. In this case, the Si106x/8x small package helps reduce system cost, design complexity, board size and component count, making it the best choice for space-constrained applications.

Ultra-low power consumption becomes a must-have artifact for power supply products

The Si106x/8x is Silicon Labs' innovative, energy-efficient wireless MCU with the lowest overall power consumption and industry-leading RF performance. Both wireless MCU series still have ultra-low power consumption even when the wireless components are in operation, 18mA at +10dBm output power and 10.7mA in receive mode. Low-power mode can significantly reduce power consumption when the wireless component is in idle or off mode: 30nA in power-down mode, 50nA in standby mode, and 600nA in sleep mode. The on-chip integrated DC-DC boost circuit allows for single-cell operation with voltages as low as 0.9V. The ultra-low power consumption of the Si106x/8x also extends battery life and is designed for engineers to design battery-powered wireless products. Essential artifact.

The best solution for embedded wireless design based on EZRadio transceiver

The EZRadio transceiver-based Si106x/8x wireless MCU provides a cost-effective solution for mainstream embedded wireless designs. On the other hand, applications with higher interconnect requirements will benefit from the high-performance EZRadioPRO wireless transceiver built into the Si106x /8x, which provides higher sensitivity (-126dBm) and greater output power for long-haul applications. (+20dBm). EZRadioPRO transceivers are designed to meet the industry's most stringent wireless standards, including FCC, ETSI and ARIB, offering mainstream frequency ranges up to 1050MHz and data rates from 100bps to 1Mbps.

In addition, the Si106x/8x supports the 142MHz-1050MHz global frequency band, and the wireless part integrates an enhanced packet processing engine to achieve a 146dB link budget, which maximizes the user's wireless connection distance. These wireless MCUs minimize TX, RX operating mode and sleep mode current with fast wake-up times. The Si106x is fully pin-compatible with the Si108x, supports up to 64K of program memory, and provides powerful analog peripherals and digital peripherals, an ADC, two comparators, timers, and multiple GPIOs. The Si106x/8x supports the 802.15.4g smart meter standard and is compatible with regulatory standards such as FCC, ETSI and ARIB.

to sum up

In general, the Si106x/8x wireless MCUs provide developers with the flexibility to create unique applications and enhance the user experience, and Silicon Labs' complementary wireless development tools bring unprecedented simplicity to wireless design. Ease of use. By combining ultra-high energy efficiency, industry-leading RF performance and link budget, and the smallest package size in its class, the Si106x/8x wireless MCU family provides the ideal Sub-GHz for space-constrained and power-sensitive wireless applications. Connection solution. At present, Shiqiang has represented this product!
