Mouser Electronics, Inc. is stocking Silicon Labs' Wireless Xpress BGX13x modules. By providing a configurable development experience with everything engineers need to rapidly develop Internet of Things (IoT) applications based on Bluetooth® technology,Wireless Xpress BGX13x modules offer Bluetooth 5 compatibility in both SiP (System-in-Package) and PCB module formats for a variety of IoT applications, including smart home devices, sensors, and industrial monitoring.
Silicon Labs' Wireless Xpress BGX13x modules enable a cable-replacement Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) solution without requiring wireless firmware development. Using only the modules' UART interface, the devices allow embedded systems to connect and communicate via a Bluetooth Low Energy link to smartphones and other BGX devices. Users can also remotely manage and update Bluetooth-enabled products over the air (OTA) using native device management features. With Silicon Labs' Zentri Device Management Service (DMS), end users can easily install and update firmware, view real-time device status measurements, and adjust product settings through mobile apps.
Both the BGX13P PCB module and the BGX13S SiP include a built-in Bluetooth stack controlled via an Xpress API command, as well as pre-programmed wire-replacement firmware, all in modules that require a total PCB area of only 51 mm². Both modules also hold Bluetooth, CE, FCC, Japan, and South Korea certifications.
The modules are compatible with the Wireless Xpress BGX13P Starter Kit, which includes a BGX13P expansion board with a pre-mounted BGX13P module. The BGX13P expansion board can operate in standalone mode with a PC via the USB port or in a simulated embedded host mode with a Silicon Labs EFM8 or EFM32 starter kit.
