Reduce power consumption by half with IoT Wi-Fi devices
Published2018.02.28 10:39Silicon Labs has developed the Wi-Fi® portfolio. It stated that this simplifies the design of battery-powered Wi-Fi products where low power consumption is critical, such as IP security cameras, point-of-sale (PoS) terminals, and consumer healthcare devices. The new WF200 transceiver and WFM200 module, optimized for outstanding energy efficiency, support 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and provide connectivity with excellent performance and reliability.
Daniel Cooley, Senior Vice President and General Manager overseeing Silicon Labs’ Internet of Things (IoT) product family, said, “By providing low-power Wi-Fi products designed specifically for IoT, we have brought innovation to the design of highly secure, battery-powered connected devices that were previously impossible to achieve,” and predicted, “There will be a significant increase in customer demand for Wi-Fi technology that meets the limited power and space requirements of battery-powered devices, freeing users from AC power connection cables.”
“The market for Wi-Fi devices in low-power IoT end-node applications is projected to grow from 128 million units in 2016 to 584 million units in 2021,” said Christian Kim, a senior analyst at IHS Markit.
Silicon Labs' WFM200 is a pre-certified, smallest system-in-package (SiP) module that integrates an antenna, enabling the miniaturization of Wi-Fi products. Additionally, the WF200 transceiver provides a cost-effective option for mass-produced applications and allows developers to meet unique system design requirements, such as the use of external antennas.

Silicon Labs Releases Software Enabling Zigbee and Bluetooth to Operate on a Single SOC
Silicon Labs announced the launch of new dynamic multi-protocol software for its Wireless Gecko SoC and module product families. By leveraging Silicon Labs' new multi-protocol software and Wireless Gecko SoC product family, users can simultaneously operate Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology on a single SoC, enabling them to benefit from all the key advantages offered by both protocols. This multi-protocol solution allows advanced functionality implementation for Internet of Things (IoT) applications without the added hardware design complexity or cost burden of a two-chip architecture, where Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies are implemented on separate chips. This enables reduction of the wireless subsystem BOM and size by up to 40%.

Silicon Labs Launches High-Performance Oscillators Delivering Jitter Performance and Frequency Flexibility
Silicon Labs announced the launch of a new high-performance I2C programmable crystal oscillator (XO) product family that delivers jitter performance and frequency flexibility. The Si544/Si549 Ultra Series programmable XO product family typically achieves jitter performance as low as 95 femtoseconds (fs), maximizing jitter margin for clocking high-speed 28Gbps and 56Gbps transceivers used in 100/200/400G communications and data center applications. The new products can generate any frequency in the range of 200kHz to 1.5GHz with 4ppt (parts-per-trillion) resolution, enabling application across a wide range of use cases. James Wilson, Senior Director of Timing Product Marketing at Silicon Labs, stated, "As optical networks, hyperscale data centers, and mobile fronthaul/backhaul networks continue to increase in speed, demand for ultra-low jitter timing solutions is growing. By adopting Silicon Labs' I2C-configurable Si54x Ultra Series oscillators, system designers can maximize SNR margin, eliminate design risk during development, and achieve first-pass design success. Through this experience, designers will clearly recognize that they are using a programmable XO product with industry-leading frequency flexibility."
