The FG23L wireless SoC, the most recent model in Silicon Labs Series 2 lineup, will be available on September 30. Developer kits are now on the market. The FG23L offers secure long-range connectivity at a fraction of the price, further solidifying Silicon Labs’ leadership in the Sub-GHz market.
It makes Sub-GHz IoT accessible to larger markets and higher-volume applications by striking a balance between crucial performance and unparalleled affordability.
Extending Silicon Labs’ Leadership in Sub-GHz IoT Connectivity
The FG23L is specifically designed to assist customers in meeting these demands with improved performance and reduced system cost as the need for long-range, cost-optimized wireless IoT solutions in building automation, smart cities, and industrial automation increases.
The FG23L excels in all three areas, but competing products frequently require compromises between efficiency, security, and range.
Up to twice the range of similar devices is offered by the FG23L, which has a best-in-class link budget of about 146 dB. For large-scale IoT deployments where device lifespan and total cost of ownership are crucial, its combination of +20 dBm transmit power, high receiver sensitivity, and ultra-low power consumption allows for reliable connectivity and more than 10 years of battery life.
Delivering the Industry’s Best Value for Secure, Long-Range IoT
The FG23L integrates a 78 MHz Cortex-M33 core, dual-core wireless architecture, and Secure Vault™ Mid security to deliver advanced compute performance, robust connectivity, and protection against evolving security threats.
Developers benefit from a rich peripheral set, 23 GPIOs, and streamlined design tools, including Simplicity Studio 5 and the Radio Configurator, which accelerate development and reduce complexity across global Sub-GHz bands.
Customers can scale IoT projects more quickly and affordably thanks to this special blend of performance, energy efficiency, and affordability. From building automation, smart city infrastructure, and industrial sensors to agricultural IoT and electronic shelf labels (ESLs), the FG23L enables manufacturers to create connected products that better compete in price-conscious markets.
Developers also have a seamless migration path from FG23L to FG23 and other Sub-GHz parts from Silicon Labs in case they are looking for more memory, more features, higher performance, or lower power.
