by Asem Elshimi, Design Engineer, IoT Wireless Solutions, Silicon Labs Confession: For the longest time, up to my senior year in electrical engineering school, I thought you could find a capacitor on its own. I had such a boundless imagination to think that you could find a circuit element that is purely capacitive in behavior […]
Simplifying product returns through device security
by Oivind Loe, Chief Technology Officer, Sipsby.com, and Josh Norem, Staff Systems Design Engineer, Silicon Labs Product returns for Internet of Things (IoT) devices can be challenging. On the one hand, connected the device should be locked down as much as possible when going out to the field. On the other hand, when a device […]
PCI Express Gen 5 clocks and buffers lead in performance and power
Silicon Labs has introduced a comprehensive portfolio of timing solutions that provide best-in-class jitter performance to meet the latest generation PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 specification with significant design margin. The Si5332 any-frequency clock family generates PCIe Gen 5 reference clocks with jitter performance of 140 fs RMS, optimizing PCIe SerDes performance while meeting the Gen […]
Isolated ICs ensure precise current/voltage measurements
Silicon Labs has introduced a family of isolated analog amplifiers, voltage sensors and delta-sigma modulator (DSM) devices designed to provide accurate current and voltage measurement with very low drift across temperature. Based on Silicon Labs’ robust, third-generation isolation technology, the new Si89xx family provides flexible voltage, current, output and package options to help developers reduce […]

An intuitive view of Maxwell’s equations
by Asem Elshimi, Design Engineer, Silicon Labs “From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell’s discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into […]
Clock IC, quartz-crystal reference combined in the same package
Silicon Labs has expanded its Si5332 any-frequency clock portfolio with new versions combining the clock IC and a quartz crystal reference inside the same package, simplifying board layout and design. The all-in-one Si5332 solution guarantees reliable start-up and operation over the lifetime of the product, unlike traditional solutions that source the clock IC and crystal […]
Software option simplifies in-field set-up of sub-GHz IoT devices
Silicon Labs has released new software options for its Wireless Gecko portfolio, enabling simultaneous sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) connectivity on a single chip. This Silicon Labs solution enables commercial and industrial IoT applications to combine long-range sub-GHz communications with Bluetooth connectivity, simplifying device setup, data gathering and maintenance. By avoiding the complexity […]
New study benchmarks Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth network protocols
Silicon Labs has released the industry’s first comprehensive network performance results based on large-scale, multicast testing of Zigbee, Thread , nd Bluetooth mesh software. Each mesh networking protocol presents unique characteristics and advantages, depending on the use case and end application. All testing was conducted at Silicon Labs’ Boston design center using the company’s Wireless Gecko […]
PCIe Gen 4-compliant clock buffers powered from single 1.5 V/1.8 V supplies
Silicon Labs has introduced a new family of low-power PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 1/2/3/4 clock buffers that provide ultra-low jitter clock distribution in 1.5 V and 1.8 V applications. With additive jitter performance of 40 fs RMS (typical), Silicon Labs’ new Si532xx PCIe clock buffers provide more than 90 percent margin to stringent PCIe Gen 3 […]
