Simplified long-range IoT connectivity with LoRaWAN® sub-1GHz STM32 SiP module
ST has launched a compact System-in-Package module for long-range connectivity, the pre-certified STM32WL5MOC, which is poised to accelerate the deployment of IoT devices in smart homes and buildings.
This module is built around the dual-core STM32WL55JC wireless system-on-chip (SoC), designed to reduce material costs and boost time to market for remote metering, monitoring, and smart-sensing devices by enabling straightforward LPWAN wireless connectivity.
Hosted in a 10 x 10 mm LGA92 package, the STM32WL5MOC SiP integrates the SoC with crucial RF components such as frequency-controlled oscillators, a balun, filter, matching network, a receive/transmit switch, and the passives required for operation. This integration allows users to bypass the complexities of RF design, saving space and simplifying circuit layout, which cuts down on the time and expertise needed for sophisticated RF design and certifications.
The module excels in long-range data communication with minimal power us
