Product details

Overview

SLWSTK6000A from Silicon Labs is a Mighty Gecko Wireless SoC evaluation kit built around the EFR32MG1P232F256GM48-A0 SoC, integrating a 40 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 MCU with 256 kB flash, 32 kB RAM, and a 2.4 GHz radio supporting Bluetooth Smart, ZigBee, Thread, and proprietary protocols. It delivers -94 dBm RX sensitivity at 1 Mbps GFSK and up to +19.5 dBm TX output power for battery-powered IoT edge nodes.

For engineers reviewing the SLWSTK6000A datasheet, SLWSTK6000A pinout, SLWSTK6000A application, or SLWSTK6000A equivalent, this kit enables rapid prototyping of ultra-low-power wireless sensor networks, smart lighting gateways, and secure connected home devices requiring EM2 DeepSleep current ≤1.35 µA and hardware-accelerated AES-256/SHA-2 crypto.

Technical Context

The SLWSTK6000A hosts the EFR32MG1P232F256GM48-A0 SoC featuring a low-IF receiver architecture with integrated BALUN, fractional-N synthesizer (≤100 Hz resolution), and autonomous Wake on Radio subsystem using PRS-triggered RSSI/preamble/frame detection. Its RFSENSE module provides wideband RF wakeup from EM4 Shutoff mode.

It integrates a 12-channel Peripheral Reflex System enabling autonomous peripheral interaction without CPU wake-up, plus a hardware CRYPTO accelerator supporting AES-128/256, SHA-1/2, and RSA-2048 - all coordinated via the Energy Management Unit across EM0–EM4 power modes with 60 µA/MHz active efficiency.
