Low-Power MCUs, Wireless SoCs, Sensors, ZigBee® Solutions and
Simplicity Studio Tools Enable All Things to Be Smart, Connected and
Energy Friendly
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Silicon
Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive,
mixed-signal ICs, will showcase an array of semiconductor, software and
systems solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) at Embedded World
2014 in Nuremburg, Germany, Feb. 25 - 27 at Booth 4A-118. Targeting
connected device applications for the IoT, the mixed-signal technology
leader will demonstrate its latest energy-friendly ARM® based
microcontrollers (MCUs), ZigBee® and sub-GHz wireless connectivity
solutions, high-accuracy sensors and its next-generation embedded
development platform.
"The embedded industry recognizes that 2014 will be the year of the
Internet of Things," said Geir Førre, senior vice president and general
manager of Silicon Labs' microcontroller products. "The next wave of
connected devices will require energy-friendly MCUs that extend battery
life to months and years, wireless solutions for both mesh networking
and point-to-point connectivity, and a profusion of low-cost, highly
accurate sensors that deliver invaluable data to help make our lives
easier, safer, healthier and more enjoyable. These silicon solutions
exist today, and Silicon Labs is eager to share them with developers at
Embedded World."
Silicon Labs' demonstrations will highlight the energy efficiency and
performance of its flagship embedded products, as well as the ease of
use of its energy-aware development tools:
-
The Internet of Things at your doorstep:

Zero Gecko MCUs - the world's lowest energy 32-bit MCUs - can be
combined with small-footprint, accurate and easy-to-use sensors to
create innovative smart home, smart energy and security applications
for the IoT that can sense temperature, relative humidity, ambient
light, intrusion and gestures, all within the extreme power
constraints required for long battery life.
-
Embedded development has never been simpler:
The Simplicity
Studio™ development platform provides a unified, comprehensive
ecosystem and portal for developers using Silicon Labs' 32-bit EFM32
Gecko MCUs and 8-bit MCUs. Simplify your design effort with Simplicity
Studio's IDE, hardware configurator, build tools and real-time power
analyzer, supported by one-click access to demos, software examples,
data sheets, application notes, technical support and community forums.
-
The world's most energy-friendly MCUs:
Discover the right energy-saving EFM32
Gecko MCU solution for your next embedded application. Silicon
Labs' 32-bit portfolio includes more than 240 orderable EFM32 Gecko
products based on ARM® Cortex®-M0+, M3 and floating-point-enabled M4
processors. No other MCU vendor can match the energy efficiency of
Gecko MCUs for battery-powered IoT and wearable computing applications.
-
Ember®
ZigBee® solutions for the IoT:
Connect with the leading ZigBee platform for 2.4 GHz wireless sensor
networks. The combination of Silicon Labs' Ember ZigBee wireless SoCs, EmberZNet
PRO mesh networking protocol stack and powerful development tools
enables developers to create IoT applications that interconnect
hundreds and even thousands of devices in a single mesh network.
-
Power-efficient wireless MCUs for the IoT:
Si106x/8x
s wireless MCUs provide an energy-friendly, single-chip "MCU +
transceiver" solution to address the power and space constraints of
battery-operated, wirelessly connected devices. Our wireless MCUs
offer a choice of cost-effective EZRadio® and high-performance
EZRadioPRO® transceiver options. The smallest sub-GHz wireless MCUs
available, these 5 mm x 6 mm QFN devices offer best-in-class RF
sensitivity and output power.
-
Plug-and-play wireless receiver solution:
Silicon Labs' Si4356
EZRadio receiver provides an easy-to-use sub-GHz wireless solution
for remote controls, RKE, sensor networks, security and smart homes.
The Si4356 receiver combines ultra-low power (50 nA standby current)
with excellent sensitivity to enable superior battery life. This
small-footprint (3 mm x 3 mm) standalone receiver is easy to configure
and comes with tested, ready-to-use antennas.
Continuing its tradition of showcasing development tools at Embedded
World, Silicon Labs will have EFM32 Zero Gecko MCU starter kits and
sensor boards available to give away to qualified developers visiting
Booth 4A-118.
Silicon Labs experts will also give the following presentations at
Embedded World:
