EFR32xG29 Series 2 Bluetooth® SoC and Multiprotocol Wireless SoC

Silicon Labs EFR32xG29 Series 2 Bluetooth is a low-power wireless system on chip (SoC) designed for use with the Pro Kit development kit and radio boards

Image of Silicon Labs EFR32xG29 Series 2 Bluetooth® SoC and Multiprotocol Wireless SoCThe Silicon Labs EFR32BG29 wireless SoC offers a compact and power-efficient chip designed for secure, high-performance wireless communication in IoT devices. It supports Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and other 2.4 GHz protocols, and includes features such as battery monitoring, DC/DC boost for low-voltage operation, and Secure Vault™ High for advanced security. Its small form factor and robust memory make it ideal for applications such as wearables, medical devices, and asset tracking.

To support development with this SoC, the xG29-PK6034A Pro Kit provides a comprehensive platform that includes a mainboard and a +8 dBm radio board. This kit allows developers to prototype and test wireless applications using Bluetooth LE, Zigbee®, and proprietary protocols. It includes debugging tools, a display, sensors, and expansion headers, making it suitable for both early-stage development and performance evaluation of wireless IoT solutions.

The additional radio boards xG29-RB4412A (+8 dBm buck), xG29-RB4413A (+6 dBm boost), and BG29-RB4420A (+4 dBm boost WLCSP) offer different configurations of the EFR32xG29 SoC to match specific design needs. These boards are designed to work with the same mainboard as the Pro Kit and provide reference designs for integration into custom hardware. This modular approach allows developers to test various power and form factor options, accelerating the path from prototype to production for a wide range of wireless IoT applications.
