ZGM230S Z-Wave SiP Module Data Short
The ZGM230S is a system-in-package (SiP) module for Z-Wave
connectivity and networking built for the performance, security,
and energy demands of the Smart Home.
Based on the EFR32ZG23
SoC, it delivers robust RF performance, long-range, industry-
leading security features, low-current consumption, a rich set of MCU peripherals, ample
memory, and a wide operating temperature range, all in a 6.5 x 6.5 mm package.
The ZGM230S is a complete solution supported by powerful and fully-upgradeable soft-
ware, advanced development and debugging tools, and documentation that will simplify
and minimize the development cycle, certification process, and deployment of your end-
product, helping to accelerate its time-to-market significantly.
The ZGM230S is targeted for a broad range of applications, including:
