Energy Micro (Silicon Labs)
Energy Micro, now known as Silicon Labs, is an esteemed semiconductor manufacturer, established in the year 2007. The institution took root in Oslo, Norway with an unswerving vision to create the world's most energy-friendly microcontrollers and RF transceivers for the growing low-power and battery-operated market. Although it's a relatively young player in the semiconductor industry, Energy Micro has fashioned itself as a noteworthy enterprise in a short span with its pivotal energy-friendly products and advances.
Silicon Labs, which acquired Energy Micro in 2013, has carried forward the original mandate and has laid special emphasis on energy-efficient innovation. Its main product categories include 32-bit microcontrollers, Wireless Gecko SoCs, and low-power short-range RF transceivers. These products have found extensive applications in a host of sectors, including but not limited to industrial automation, home automation, and health-related electronics. The company’s solutions are powered by their industry-leading energy-friendly EFM32 Gecko MCUs and EFR32 wireless SoCs, which have set new benchmarks for ultra-low-power performance. These solutions harness the technologies of tomorrow and provide customers with transformable advantages.
The product list includes:
- EFR32 Wireless SoCs: Multi-protocol wireless SoCs supporting Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread, and Proprietary wireless protocols.
- EFM32 Gecko MCUs: 32-bit microcontrollers that include energy-friendly Tiny, Happy, and Giant Geckos.
- Low-Power Short-Range RF Transceivers: These include sub-GHz EZRadio and EZRadioPRO for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) applications.
These advancements and high-performing product categories have not only embedded Energy Micro (Silicon Labs) in the semiconductor industry but have also redefined the limits of low-power wireless connectivity and energy efficiency.
