The BGM220P from Silicon Labs is a 2.4 GHz Wireless Gecko Bluetooth Module that is designed and built to meet the performance, security, and reliability requirements of battery-powered IoT products. It supports Bluetooth 5.2 (BLE), direction-finding, and Bluetooth mesh low power node protocols. Based on the EFR32BG22 SoC, the BGM220P enables Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity while delivering best-in-class RF range and performance with OTA firmware updates, enhanced security features, and low energy consumption. It delivers a Tx power of up to 8 dBm and has an Rx sensitivity of -98.9 dBm at 1 Mbps. This device requires a DC supply of 1.8-3.8 V and draws a current of up to 10.6 mA (Tx) and 4.3 mA (Rx). The BGM220P incorporates a high-performance and low-power 76.8 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor with DSP instruction and a floating-point unit for efficient signal processing.
This device comes with fully-upgradeable robust software stacks, world-wide regulatory certifications, advanced development and debugging tools, and support that will minimize and simplify the engineering and development of the end-products helping to accelerate the time to reach the market.
The BGM220P is available in a module that measures 12.9 x 15 mm with a built-in antenna. It is ideal for asset tags and beacons, portable medical, connected home, industrial and building automation, Bluetooth mesh low power nod, sports, fitness, and wellness devices applications.
