Industrial-grade EFR32FG23 SoC-Based High-End Wireless Module
Product Description
433MHz/868MHz/915MHz Wireless FSK Transceiver Module with EFR32FG23 Chip
DL-EFG23-B is a high-performance Sub-1GHz RF module developed by DreamLNK based on the EFR32FG23 wireless SoC (with an integrated ARM Cortex-M33 processor) of Silicon Labs. This chip integrates an advanced RF transceiver, a low-power management unit, and a rich set of peripheral interfaces. It supports multiple frequency bands such as 433/868/915MHz, and features high output power (up to +20 dBm) and high receiving sensitivity (up to -123 dBm), offering excellent RF performance and strong anti-interference ability.
Thi DL-EFG23-B RF module combines an integrated RF controller (Cortex®-M33) with a powerful Arm® Cortex®-M333 processor. The main clock frequency can reach up to 78MHz, with 256K of FLASH and 32K of RAM. With its fully functional built-in AT Commands, the module support any serial baud rate from 2400 to 921600bps, which can improve communication efficiency. Through the AT commands, users can easily configure wireless network parmeters. Moreover, the software internally supports obtaining RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and implementing common wireless communication topologies such as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint, greatly simplifying the application development process.
Though a multi-functional firmware is pre-installed at the factory, you can also conduct secondary development based on Silicon Labs development environment if needed.
(Note: these RF modules will be sold base on our standard firmware. For specific requirements, please feel free to contact us.)
