26-09-2024 | Qorvo | Semiconductors

Qorvo has introduced a new SoC solution for smart home devices and is now sampling with key customers. This next-generation IoT solution features its proprietary ConcurrentConnect technology and combines multi-network support for Matter, Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy with unrivalled energy efficiency in a scalable turnkey solution.

QPG6200L is the first product based on a new low-power wireless connectivity platform from the company designed to meet the challenges of today's rapidly evolving smart home environment, ensuring seamless communication and interoperability across multiple wireless standards. The device simultaneously supports multiple protocols on separate channels, providing the highest RF performance and reliability for various consumer IoT applications, including smart lighting, sensors and home hubs. It also employs a built-in secure element and is PSA Certified Level 2 for enhanced IoT security.

"The QPG6200L adds to Qorvo's leadership in smart home connectivity," said Marc Pegulu, general manager of Qorvo's Connectivity Systems business. "Featuring our unique ConcurrentConnect technology not only enhances device performance across multiple networks but also eases the transition to Matter, offering users the best of both worlds without leaving any Zigbee devices behind."

The device sets a new paradigm in energy efficiency for multi-standard SoCs. Its industry-leading sleep current is less than 1 µA, 30% lower than competing solutions, making it the excellent choice for low-power applications such as battery-operated sensors and energy-harvesting devices. The device's ultra-low power consumption extends battery life and supports more sustainable smart home solutions.

The company offers smart home OEMs a turnkey solution for Matter over Thread, simplifying the design process while ensuring robust security and performance across the network. Its PSA Level 2 certification ensures the solution meets security standards to protect against common software attacks.
