Silicon Labs MGM13P Mighty Gecko Wireless Mesh Modules

Silicon Labs MGM13P Mighty Gecko Modules offer a pre-certified, multi-protocol, wireless networking solution in a compact package. Based on the Silicon Labs EFR32MG13 Mighty Gecko SoC (System on Chip), MGM13P modules feature an Arm® Cortex-M4 core with 512kB Flash, 64kB RAM, and up to +10dBm output power. These fully-certified modules integrate all components (crystals, RF passives, and antenna) required for a system-level implementation of wireless IoT (Internet of Things) mesh networks. The +10dBm versions of the MGM13P meet the WW regulatory requirements for IEEE 802.15.4 2.4GHz, used in both Zigbee and Thread networks.
