Product details

Overview

XG24-EK2703A from Silicon Labs is an ultra-low-cost, small-form-factor development and evaluation platform built around the EFR32MG24B210F1536IM48 Wireless Gecko SoC. It delivers 2.4 GHz radio operation, a 78 MHz ARM Cortex-M33 core, 1536 kB flash, 256 kB RAM, and on-board SEGGER J-Link debugging - enabling rapid prototyping of energy-efficient IoT applications including smart sensors and wireless edge nodes.

For engineers reviewing the XG24-EK2703A datasheet, XG24-EK2703A pinout, XG24-EK2703A application, or XG24-EK2703A equivalent, this kit serves as a production-ready reference for Simplicity Studio-based firmware development, RF validation, and hardware expansion via mikroBUS and Qwiic interfaces.

Technical Context

The XG24-EK2703A integrates the EFR32MG24B210F1536IM48 SoC with a 39 MHz high-frequency crystal, 2.4 GHz RF matching network, and integrated ceramic antenna (Johanson 2450AT18D0100). Its power architecture uses a USB-fed 5 V input regulated to 3.3 V (VMCU) and on-chip DC-DC conversion to supply RFVDD and PAVDD at 1.8 V.

Debugging is handled by a dedicated EFM32GG12-based on-board J-Link debugger supporting SWD, Virtual COM port (115200 bps, 8N1), and Packet Trace Interface (PTI) for real-time wireless packet analysis. Hardware expansion is enabled through 20-pin breakout pads, mikroBUS socket (SPI/I2C/UART), and Qwiic connector (I2C only, shared with mikroBUS SCL/SDA).

FAQ

What is the target device mounted on the XG24-EK2703A board?

The XG24-EK2703A board features the EFR32MG24B210F1536IM48 Wireless Gecko SoC - a 78 MHz ARM Cortex-M33 microcontroller with 1536 kB flash, 256 kB RAM, and integrated 2.4 GHz radio. This exact SoC variant is soldered onto the BRD2703A PCB and is fully supported by Simplicity Studio's Board Support Package (BSP) for XG24-EK2703A.

Does the XG24-EK2703A include an on-board debugger, and what capabilities does it provide?

Yes, the XG24-EK2703A includes a dedicated on-board SEGGER J-Link debugger based on the EFM32GG12 microcontroller. It provides full SWD-based programming and real-time debugging of the EFR32MG24, a USB-emulated virtual COM port (115200 bps, 8N1), and Packet Trace Interface (PTI) for monitoring wireless packet transmission and reception - all accessible via the single USB Type-C connector.

Can the XG24-EK2703A be powered externally, and what are the voltage requirements?

Yes, the XG24-EK2703A can be powered externally via the VMCU net (3.3 V) when the USB cable is removed. The board's LDO accepts 5 V from USB but isolates automatically when external power is applied. Applying voltage directly to VMCU bypasses the LDO and supplies the EFR32MG24 and peripherals at 3.3 V - no additional regulation is required, and this method avoids potential conflicts with the onboard regulator.

What expansion options does the XG24-EK2703A support, and how are they electrically connected?

The XG24-EK2703A supports three expansion methods: (1) 20-pin 2.54 mm breakout pads exposing GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, and ADC signals; (2) mikroBUS socket with full pin mapping (SPI/I2C/UART/INT/PWM/AN/RST) routed to EFR32MG24 peripherals; and (3) Qwiic connector sharing I2C SCL/SDA pins (PB04/PB05) with the mikroBUS interface. All expansion paths are documented in UG533 Sections 3.6.1–3.6.3.

Is the XG24-EK2703A compliant with FCC and ETSI 2.4 GHz regulations, and what is its certified output power?

Yes, the XG24-EK2703A (BRD2703A hardware revision) is designed to meet both FCC Part 15.247 and ETSI EN 300-328 requirements for the 2400–2483.5 MHz band. Its conducted output power is calibrated to 10 dBm, and harmonic emissions - including the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th - are suppressed below the -41.2 dBm EIRP limit per UG533 Section 5.2.3, enabling regulatory-ready RF validation.
