Silicon Labs' Mighty Gecko MGM13P wireless mesh modules incorporate a low-power wireless SoC with a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 core, DSP instruction set, and floating-point unit for efficient signal processing. The SoC offers 64 KB of RAM, 512 KB of flash memory, and up to +10 dBm output power (with an +18 dBm version available from Mouser.com), as well as a wide selection of peripherals. By integrating the crystals, RF passives, and antenna necessary for system-level implementation of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) networks, the modules free developers from complex RF/antenna design and testing, allowing them to focus on their end applications.
The 12.9 mm × 17.8 mm × 2.3 mm modules consume only 9.9 mA in 1 Mbps receive mode and 8.5 mA at 0 dB in transmit mode. The MGM13P modules support network coprocessor or SoC architectures, and the +10 dBm version of the device meets the regulatory requirements for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard used in Thread and Zigbee networks.
The MGM13P module is supported by Silicon Labs' Mighty Gecko MGM13P radio boards, for use with the Mighty Gecko Starter Kit, and the Simplicity Studio™ debugging and development toolset, which helps accelerate IoT product design. Mighty Gecko MGM13P wireless mesh modules are ideal for a wide variety of applications, including connected home lighting and security, smart metering, and health and wellness devices.
