Key Features
The Si100x/1x/2x/3x wireless MCU family features the industry’s lowest power consumption in all modes: active, sleep and deep sleep. This ultra low-power consumption is achieved without any compromises in wireless transceiver performance. With an integrated high-performance power amplifier and low-noise amplifier, the Si100x/1x/2x/3x wireless MCU family offers an industry-leading link budget of 141 dB while simultaneously simplifying the overall bill of materials (BOM).
