Below we will introduce the features and product lineup of Silicon Labs products.

Features and Strengths of Silicon Labs' Solutions

●Ultra low power consumption
Ultra-low power Bluetooth chip designs enable IoT products to operate for over 10 years on a coin cell battery.

●High performance RF
It offers best-in-class sensitivity and up to +20dBm output power, while extending battery life with low active and sleep current.
Ultra-small form factor, ultra-low power SoCs and modules enable high performance wireless connectivity.

Flexible architecture
It can operate in three different integration modes: SoC, NCP, and RCP modes. Its dynamic multiprotocol and Wi-Fi coexistence scheme significantly improves the performance of multiprotocol designs.

●Bluetoothand beyond
Secure Vault™ technology protects devices from local and remote cyberattacks, and the AI/ML hardware accelerator enables inferencing at the edge. Direction finding with our proprietary RTL library supports future channel sounding capabilities.

*Secure Vault™ is the name of the Secure IP built into Silicon Labs' ICs.

Main use cases and implementation examples

●ESL (electronic shelf label)

Enabled by Silicon Labs' low-power and robust connectivity, the technology offers innovative solutions for the retail industry, streamlining price management and product information display.

●Smart Home

Silicon Labs' Bluetooth products improve connectivity for smart home devices.

For example, Bluetooth-enabled smart locks can be remotely controlled via a smartphone app, allowing users to operate the lock without internet access, resulting in faster response times and higher security.Smart lights and temperature sensors also use Bluetooth to help users create a more comfortable living environment.

Wearable devices

Providing lightweight, low-power solutions for fitness trackers and health management devices.

This allows for real-time monitoring of heart rate and activity levels, and by linking with a smartphone, helps manage physical condition. Users can easily check their health data and receive advice as needed.

●Industrial Applications

Bluetooth-enabled devices used for machine status monitoring and data collection improve work efficiency on-site and realize smart factories.

For example, by collecting data from factory equipment via Bluetooth and analyzing it in real time, it is possible to achieve predictive maintenance and minimize downtime.

● "Channel Sounding"

"Channel Sounding"is one of the new features added to the Bluetooth standard "Bluetooth 6.0."
As part of the evolution of BLE technology, this technology enables highly accurate distance measurement and location information acquisition.

In particular, with the development of smart devices and the spread of IoT, applications in a variety of fields are expected, and future growth is expected. Utilizing this technology will enable the realization of next-generation wireless access and proximity solutions, further enriching users' lives.

Silicon Labs has been one of the first to develop channel sounding solutions, supporting customer evaluation and development.
