Silicon Labs Introduces BG22L and BG24L "Lite" Bluetooth LE SoCs

Silicon Labs introduced the BG22L and BG24L SoCs for Bluetooth LE connectivity, with "L" representing the new application-optimized Lite devices. These new ultra-low power Bluetooth devices are optimized for applications like asset tracking tags, remote control, and small appliances. The BG22L delivers robust security and processing for common Bluetooth devices, while BG24L supports advanced AI/ML acceleration and Channel Sounding.

Renesas Electronics announced sample shipment availability of the new RYZ012 Bluetooth module targeting ultra-low power applications in connected devices. The RYZ012 is Renesas' first Bluetooth Low Energy 5 module. It integrates a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver supporting the IEEE802.15.4 multi-standard wireless protocol, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), Bluetooth LE Mesh, and ZigBee. The RYZ012 features a power draw of only 0.4µA during deep sleep (without SRAM retention) allowing developers to extend battery life.
