Silicon Labs Unveils BG29 Bluetooth LE Wireless SoC for Miniature Devices

Silicon Labs announced its new Series 2 BG29 family of wireless SoCs, designed to bring high compute and connectivity to the smallest form factor Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices without compromising performance. A highly efficient, high memory, low-power, and ultra compact SoC designed for secure and high performance wireless networking applications, this new BG29 SoC is ideal for today's most intensive Bluetooth LE applications in wearables, health and medical devices, asset trackers, and battery-powered sensors.

Synaptics launched the Veros Seamless Intelligent Connectivity brand with two high-performance systems on chip (SoCs) for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, and 802.15.4. The two new wireless combo chips from Synaptics, the SYN4383 triple combo (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/802.15.4) and tri-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz ), and the SYN43756E, also a multi-protocol, tri-band solution that offers a cost-effective version aimed at products not requiring 802.15.4 support, enable product developers to integrate essential wireless protocols including Bluetooth LE Audio.

Nordic Semiconductor has announced that its nRF5340 high-end multiprotocol Bluetooth 5.2 System-on-Chip (SoC) has entered volume production. The world’s first dual Arm Cortex-M33 wireless SoC is now available and offers all the advanced features and security required for the next-generation of connected audio applications including LE Audio and advanced wearables. The new SoC is now widely commercially available through Nordic’s distribution network.
