SoCs and MCUs for IoT, smart home and smart building applications

26-08-2025 | Mouser Electronics | Semiconductors

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the new xG26 family of wireless SoCs and MCUs from Silicon Labs. The xG26 SoCs and MCUs feature a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 core offering robust and energy-efficient design for future-proofing metering, lighting, IoT, building automation, and smart home applications.

The SoCs and MCUs contain low active and sleep currents, AI/ML hardware accelerators, 3200kB flash, 512kB RAM, and Secure Vault. They also offer a two-channel VDAC, an eight-channel DMA controller, and a 20-channel Peripheral Reflex System (PRS). The xG26 family includes the wireless, multiprotocol EFR32MG26 SoC, providing high-performance 2.4GHz RF, low current consumption, and an AI/ML hardware accelerator with Secure Vault technology for gateways, hubs, LED lighting, switches, glass-break detection, and predictive maintenance.

The series 2 Bluetooth SoCs run up to 78MHz, with up to 3200kB of flash, and up to 512kB of RAM, making them excellent for IoT wireless connectivity using BLE and Bluetooth Mesh for switches, door locks, LED lighting, blood glucose meters, and pulse oximeters.

The EFM32PG26 32-bit MCUs are software-compatible MCUs for the EFR32 wireless SoC platform. They are ideal for low-power and high-performance applications, including embedded IoT, smart homes, smart cities, and industrial and general-purpose uses.

The company also offers Silicon Labs xG26 Development Tools, including explorer kits, dev kits, radio boards, and pro kits. These development tools provide full-speed debug USB, Packet Trace Interface (PTI), breakout pads, virtual COM, onboard sensors, and coin cell battery holders.
