[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Silicon Labs’ SixG301 family delivers a highly-integrated SoC platform tailored for line-powered smart devices such as lighting, building automation, and home-control systems. These SoCs bring together robust processing, rich memory, high-output radio power and specialized functionality in a single chip.
Core Architecture
At the heart of the SixG301 devices is a 32-bit Arm® M33® core clocked at up to 150 MHz. The built-in memory features options up to 4 MB of flash and 512 KB of RAM, enabling full-feature firmware without external memory in many applications.
Radio and Protocol Coverage
Two distinct series cover wireless connectivity needs:
- SiBG301 targets Bluetooth® and proprietary 2.4 GHz links.
- SiMG301 supports Thread, Matter, Zigbee®, dynamic multiprotocol and concurrent multiprotocol use-cases.
Both series deliver up to +10 dBm output power on the radio, making them well-suited for reliable links in smart homes and building systems.
Integrated Features for Smart Devices
- Integrated LED pre-driver supports lighting and smart fixture applications without requiring separate driver ICs.
- 12-bit ADC resolution plus I²C and SPI interfaces provide flexible sensing and control integration.
- Package options include QFN-32 and QFN-40, suitable for compact circuit layouts in fixtures, switches or smart plugs.
Application Fit
The SixG301 SoC line is engineered for devices that are always powered (line voltage) rather than battery-constrained. Ideal applications include smart lighting fixtures, networked building automation controls, smart switches/plugs and home gateway nodes. Because the radio supports multiple protocols and the hardware integrates key features, designers can reduce BOM count, board complexity and firmware architecture overhead.
Why It Matters
With the SixG301, designers gain a single silicon platform that spans a broad range of connectivity protocols and embeds both processing and application-specific support (such as LED control). This enables faster time to market, simpler hardware architectures and scalable production for smart infrastructure devices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
