3.3.2 Integrated Oscillators
The EFR32MG1X232 supports two crystal oscillators and fully integrates four RC oscillators, listed below.
A high frequency crystal oscillator (HFXO) with integrated load capacitors, tunable in small steps, provides a precise timing refer-
ence for the radio and MCU. Crystal frequencies in the range from 38 to 40 MHz are supported. Silicon Laboratories reference de-
signs employ a crystal frequency of 38.4 MHz. An external clock source such as a TCXO can also be applied to the HFXO input for
improved accuracy over temperature.
An optional 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO) can be used as an accurate timing reference in low energy modes.
A 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO) should be used as an accurate timing reference in Bluetooth Smart low energy modes.
An integrated high frequency RC oscillator (HFRCO) is available for the MCU system, when crystal accuracy is not required. The
HFRCO employs fast startup at minimal energy consumption combined with a wide frequency range.
An integrated auxilliary high frequency RC oscillator (AUXHFRCO) is available for timing the general-purpose ADC and the Serial
Wire debug port with a wide frequency range.
An integrated low frequency 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRCO) can be used as a timing reference in low energy modes, when crys-
tal accuracy is not required.
An integrated ultra-low frequency 1 kHz RC oscillator (ULFRCO) is available to provide a timing reference at the lowest energy con-
sumption in low energy modes.
3.3.3 Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer
The EFR32MG1X232 contains a high performance, low phase noise, fully integrated fractional-N frequency synthesizer. The synthesiz-
er is used in receive mode to generate the LO frequency used by the down-conversion mixer. It is also used in transmit mode to directly
generate the modulated RF carrier.
The fractional-N architecture provides excellent phase noise performance combined with frequency resolution better than 100 Hz, with
low energy consumption. The synthesizer has fast frequency settling which allows very short receiver and transmitter wake up times to
optimize system energy consumption.
3.3.4 Receiver Architecture
The EFR32MG1X232 uses a low-IF receiver architecture, consisting of a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) followed by an I/Q down-conver-
sion mixer, emplying a 38.4 MHz crystal reference. The I/Q signals are further filtered and amplified before being sampled by the IF
analog-to-digital converter (IFADC).
The IF frequency is configurable from 150 kHz to 1371 kHz. The IF can further be configured for high-side or low-side injection, provid-
ing flexibility with respect to known interferers at the image frequency.
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) module adjusts the receiver gain to optimize performance and avoid saturation for excellent selec-
tivity and blocking performance.
Demodulation is performed in the digital domain. The demodulator performs configurable decimation and channel filtering to allow re-
ceive bandwidths ranging from 0.1 to 2530 kHz. High carrier frequency and baud rate offsets are tolerated by active estimation and
compensation. Advanced features supporting high quality communication under adverse conditions include forward error correction by
block and convolutional coding as well as Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
A Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is available for signal quality metrics, for level-based proximity detection, and for RF chan-
nel access by Collision Avoidance (CA) or Listen Before Talk (LBT) algorithms. An RSSI capture value with dB resolution is associated
with each received frame and the dynamic RSSI measurement can be monitored throughout reception.
The EFR32MG1X232 features integrated support for antenna diversity to improve link budget, using complementary control outputs to
an external switch. Internal configurable hardware controls automatic switching between antennae during RF receive detection opera-
tions.
In typical applications, the demodulator output is stored in internal buffer memory for access by the MCU. Direct mode supports direct
serial output of demodulated data on configured GPIO pins.

3.3.5 Transmitter Architecture
The EFR32MG1X232 uses a direct-conversion transmitter architecture. For constant envelope modulation formats, the modulator con-
trols phase and frequency modulation in the frequency synthesizer. Transmit symbols or chips are optionally shaped by a digital shap-
ing filter. The shaping filter is fully configurable, including the BT product, and can be used to implement Gaussian or Raised Cosine
shaping.
Automated PA up and down ramping is applied to each transmitted frame, in order to ensure the Adjacent Channel Power (ACP) meets
regulatory requirements.
Carrier Sense Multiple Access - Collision Avoidance (CSMA-CA) or Listen Before Talk (LBT) algorithms can be automatically timed by
the EFR32MG1X232. These algorithms are typically defined by regulatory standards to improve inter-operability in a given bandwidth
between devices that otherwise lack synchronized RF channel access.
3.3.6 Wake on Radio
The Wake on Radio feature allows flexible, autonomous RF sensing, qualification, and demodulation without required MCU activity, us-
ing a subsystem of the EFR32MG1X232 including the Radio Controller (RAC), Peripheral Reflex System (PRS), and Low Energy pe-
ripherals. Wake on Radio implementation may typically include the following functionality:
Periodic trigger to start RF evaluation from the RTCC, GPIO or other low energy peripherals
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) qualification
Preamble and frame sync qualification
Frame header qualification, including address filtering
Autonomous packet demodulation and buffering
Optional transfer of RSSI values to RAM via DMA
Timeout to disable the receiver through the PRS in case of false alarm
3.3.7 RFSENSE
The RFSENSE module generates a system wakeup interrupt upon detection of wideband RF energy at the antenna interface, providing
true RF wakeup capabilities from low energy modes including EM2, EM3 and EM4.
RFSENSE triggers on a relatively strong RF signal and is available in the lowest energy modes, allowing exceptionally low energy con-
sumption. RFSENSE does not demodulate or otherwise qualify the received signal, but software may respond to the wakeup event by
enabling normal RF reception.
Various strategies for optimizing power consumption and system response time in presence of false alarms may be employed using
available timer peripherals.

3.3.12 Crypto Accelerator (CRYPTO)
The Crypto Accelerator is a fast and energy-efficient autonomous hardware encryption and decryption accelerator. EFR32 devices sup-
port various levels of hardware-accelerated encryption, depending on the part. Section 2. Ordering Information specifies whether this
part has full or AES-only crypto support. AES-only devices support AES encryption and decryption with 128- or 256-bit keys. Full cryp-
to support adds RSA-2048, ECC over both GF(P) and GF(2m), SHA-1 and SHA-2.
Supported modes of operation for AES includes ECB, CTR, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, CBC-MAC, GMAC, CCM and GCM.
Supported ECC NIST recommended curves include P-192, P-224, P-256, K-163, K-233, B-163 and B-233.
The CRYPTO is tightly linked to the BUFC enabling fast and efficient autonomous cipher operations on data buffer content. It allows
fast processing of ECC, RSA and SHA with little CPU intervention. CRYPTO also provides trigger signals for DMA read and write oper-
ations.

3.3.13 True Random Number Generator
The Frame Controller (FRC) implements a true random number generator that extracts noise from the RF receive chain. Data can be
read from a register 32 bits at a time, or larger blocks of random data can be written directly to RAM.
Output from the random number generator can be used either directly or as a seed or entropy source for software based random num-
ber generator algorithms such as Fortuna.
3.3.14 System Processor
The ARM Cortex-M processor subsystem integrates the following features and tasks in the system:
32-bit ARM Cortex-M RISC processor achieving 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz

3.3.15 Memory System Controller (MSC)
The Memory System Controller (MSC) is the program memory unit of the microcontroller. The flash memory is readable and writable
from both the Cortex-M and DMA. The flash memory is divided into two blocks; the main block and the information block. Program code
is normally written to the main block, whereas the information block is available for special user data and flash lock bits. There is also a
read-only page in the information block containing system and device calibration data. Read and write operations are supported in en-
ergy modes EM0 Active/EM1 Sleep.
3.3.16 Linked Direct Memory Access Controller (LDMA)
The Linked Direct Memory Access (LDMA) controller features 8 channels capable of performing memory operations independently of
software. This reduces both energy consumption and software workload.
3.3.17 Integrated Voltage Regulators
The EFR32MG1X232 generates internal supply voltages from integrated regulators. This means that only a single external supply volt-
age is required, from which all internal voltages are created. An optional integrated DC-DC buck regulator, further detailed in section
3.3.37 Integrated DC-DC Converter (DC-DC), can be utilized to further reduce the current consumption. The DC-DC regulator requires
one external inductor and one external capacitor.
3.3.18 Reset Management Unit (RMU)
The RMU is responsible for handling reset of the EFR32MG1X232. A wide range of reset sources are available, including several pow-
er supply monitors, pin reset, software controlled reset, core lockup reset and watchdog reset.
3.3.19 Energy Management Unit (EMU)
The Energy Management Unit manages transitions of energy modes in the device. Each energy mode defines which peripherals and
features are available. The EMU can also be used to turn off the power to unused RAM blocks. The EMU also contains control registers
for the DC-DC regulator and the Voltage Monitor (VMON). The VMON is used to monitor multiple supply voltages. It has 4 channels
which can be programmed individually by the user to determine if a sensed supply has fallen below a chosen threshold.
3.3.20 Clock Management Unit (CMU)
The Clock Management Unit controls oscillators and clocks in the EFR32MG1X232. Individual enabling and disabling of clocks to all
peripheral modules is perfomed by the CMU. The CMU also controls enabling and configuration of the oscillators. A high degree of
flexibility allows software to optimize energy consumption in any specific application by minimizing power dissipation in unused periph-
erals and oscillators.

3.3.21 Watchdog (WDOG)
The watchdog timer with window monitoring capabilities can monitor the Peripheral Reflex System and generate a reset in case of a
system failure to improve application reliability.
3.3.22 Peripheral Reflex System (PRS)
The Peripheral Reflex System provides a communication network between different peripheral modules without software involvement.
Peripheral modules producing Reflex signals are called producers. The PRS routes Reflex signals from producers to consumer periph-
erals which in turn perform actions in response. Edge triggers and other functionality can be applied by the PRS. The PRS allows pe-
ripheral to act autonomously without waking the MCU core, saving power.
3.3.23 Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (USART)
The Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is a flexible serial I/O module. It supports full duplex asynchronous
UART communication with hardware flow control as well as RS-485, SPI, MicroWire and 3-wire. It can also interface with devices sup-
porting:
ISO7816 SmartCards
IrDA
I2S
3.3.24 Low Energy Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (LEUART)
The unique LEUART provides two-way UART communication on a strict power budget. Only a 32.768 kHz clock is needed to allow
UART communication up to 9600 baud. The LEUART includes all necessary hardware to make asynchronous serial communication
possible with a minimum of software intervention and energy consumption.
3.3.25 Inter-Integrated Circuit Interface (I2C)
The I2C module provides an interface between the MCU and a serial I2C bus. It is capable of acting as both a master and a slave and
supports multi-master buses. Standard-mode, fast-mode and fast-mode plus speeds are supported, allowing transmission rates from
10 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s. Slave arbitration and timeouts are also available, allowing implementation of an SMBus-compliant system. The
interface provided to software by the I2C module allows precise timing control of the transmission process and highly automated trans-
fers. Automatic recognition of slave addresses is provided in active and low energy modes.
3.3.26 Protocol Timer (PROTIMER)
The PROTIMER is perfectly suited for radio protocol time-keeping, featuring support for time-slotted and random backoff LBT/CSMA
radio access mechanisms. The PROTIMER includes a capture/compare functionality, including several capture registers, configurable
to capture counter or RTCC values upon trigger events selected from Peripheral Reflex System events or radio events. The capture
register values may be used for received frame timestamping. The compare feature produces output events upon match of captured
values to programmed comparison values, which can be used to enable or disable the RF receiver without MCU intervention.
3.3.27 Timer/Counter (TIMER)
TIMER peripherals keep track of timing, count events, generate PWM outputs and trigger timed actions in other peripherals through the
PRS system. Please refer to Section 3.4 Configuration Summary for available TIMER units and features in the EFR32MG1X232
The core of each TIMER is a 16-bit counter with up to 4 compare/capture channels. Each channel is configurable in one of three
modes. In capture mode, the counter state is stored in a buffer at a selected input event. In compare mode, the channel output reflects
the comparison of the counter to a programmed threshold value. In PWM mode, the TIMER supports generation of pulse-width modula-
tion (PWM) outputs of arbitrary waveforms defined by the sequence of values written to the compare registers, with optional dead-time
insertion available in timer unit TIMER_0 only.
3.3.28 Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC)
The Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC) is a 32-bit counter providing timekeeping in all energy modes. The RTCC includes a
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) calendar mode for easy time and date keeping. The RTCC can be clocked by any of the on-board oscilla-
tors (Section 3.3.2 Integrated Oscillators) with the exception of the AUXHFRCO, and it is capable of providing system wake-up at user
defined instances. When receiving frames, the RTCC value can be used for timestamping. The RTCC includes 128 bytes of general
purpose data retention, allowing easy and convenient data storage in all energy modes.

3.3.29 Low Energy Timer (LETIMERTM)
The unique LETIMER, is a 16-bit timer that is available in energy mode EM2 DeepSleep in addition to EM1 Sleep and EM0 Active. This
allows it to be used for timing and output generation when most of the device is powered down, allowing simple tasks to be performed
while the power consumption of the system is kept at an absolute minimum. The LETIMER can be used to output a variety of wave-
forms with minimal software intervention. It is also connected to the Real Time Counter and Calendar (RTCC), and can be configured to
start counting on compare matches from the RTCC.
3.3.30 Ultra Low Power Wake-up Timer (CRYOTIMER)
The CRYOTIMER is a 32-bit counter that is capable of running in all energy modes. It can be clocked by either the 32.768 kHz crystal
oscillator (LFXO), the 32.768 kHz RC oscillator (LFRCO) or the 1 kHz RC oscillator (ULFRCO). It can provide periodic Wakeup events
and PRS signals which can be used to wake up peripherals from any energy mode. The CRYOTIMER provides a wide range of inter-
rupt periods, facilitating flexible ultra-low energy operation.
3.3.31 Pulse Counter (PCNT)
The Pulse Counter (PCNT) peripheral can be used for counting pulses on a single input or to decode quadrature encoded inputs. The
clock for PCNT is selectable from either an external source on pin PCTNn_S0IN or from an internal timing reference, selectable from
among any of the internal oscillators, except the AUXHFRCO. The module may operate in energy mode EM0 Active, EM1 Sleep, EM2
DeepSleep and EM3 Stop.
3.3.32 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
EFR32MG1X232 has 31 General Purpose Input/Output pins. Each GPIO pin can be individually configured as either an output or input.
More advanced configurations including open-drain, open-source, and glitch-filtering can be configured for each individual GPIO pin.
The GPIO pins can be overridden by peripheral connections, like SPI communication. Each peripheral connection can be routed to sev-
eral GPIO pins on the device. The input value of a GPIO pin can be routed through the Peripheral Reflex System to other peripherals.
The GPIO subsystem supports asynchronous external pin interrupts.
3.3.33 Analog Port (APORT)
The Analog Port (APORT) is an analog interconnect matrix allowing access to analog modules ADC, ACMP, and IDAC on a flexible
selection of pins. Each APORT bus consists of analog switches connected to a common wire. Since many clients can operate differen-
tially, buses are grouped by X/Y pairs. See 6.4 Analog Port (APORT) for an illustration of the APORT connections.
3.3.34 Analog Comparator (ACMP)
The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is high-
er. Inputs are selected from among internal references and external pins. The tradeoff between response time and current consumption
is configurable by software.
The ACMP can also be used to monitor the supply voltage from software. An interrupt can be generated when the supply falls below or
rises above a programmable threshold.
3.3.35 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
The ADC is a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture, with a resolution of up to 12 bits at up to 1 MSamples/s. The
output sample resolution is configurable and additional resolution is possible using integrated hardware for averaging over multiple
samples.
The ADC includes integrated voltage references and an integrated temperature sensor. Inputs are selectable from a wide range of
source, including pins configurable as either single-ended or differential.
3.3.36 Digital to Analog Current Converter (IDAC)
The Digital to Analog Current Converter can source or sink a configurable constant current. This current can be driven on an output pin
or routed to the selected ADC input pin for capacitive sensing. The current is programmable between 0.05 µA and 64 µA with several
ranges with various step sizes.

3.3.37 Integrated DC-DC Converter (DC-DC)
The DC-DC buck converter covers a wide range of load currents and provides high efficiency in energy modes EM0, EM1, EM2 and
EM3. Patent-pending RF noise mitigation allows operation of the DC-DC converter without degrading radio sensitivity. The converter
has three modes: low noise (LN), low power (LP), and bypass. Each operating mode transition is initiated by firmware and executed by
an integrated hardware state machine, providing well-controlled transitions. Bypass mode may be entered when the input voltage is too
low for efficient operation of the DC-DC converter. In Bypass mode, the DC-DC input supply is internally connected directly to its output
through a low resistance switch. Bypass mode also supports in-rush current limiting to avoid dipping the input supply due to excessive
current transients.
Key Features:
Wide load range from sub-µA to 200 mA
High efficiency up to 90%
Low Noise (LN), Low Power (LP) and Bypass operating modes for high performance and low energy applications
Fast wakeup from LP to LN to support quick EM2 to EM0 transition
Low 50 nA quiescent current in LP mode to support micro-ampere range load currents
Optimized for integration with the on-board radio
Switching frequency programmable from 3 MHz to 8 MHz
RF noise mitigation mechanism
Supports wide range of passive part selection
External capacitor range from 1 µF to 10 µF with external 4.7 µH inductor

3.3.37.1 DC-DC Converter Powertrain
The powertrain consists of low-resistance P-channel (PFET1) and N-channel (NFET) switches, combined with a current limiter and
zero-crossing detector. The power switches provide programmable drive strength by selection of a number of slices for each switch.
The switching logic takes either a PWM signal from a low-noise controller or pulses from a low-power controller and drives PFET1 and
NFET switches using proper dead-time control. The powertrain can switch in both forced Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) mode
and load-adaptive Continuous Conduction/Discontinuous Conduction (CCM/DCM) mode. Load-adaptive CCM/DCM mode has superior
efficiency in light load conditions, whereas forced CCM mode provides the best transient response and noise control when the radio is
on.
The DC-DC converter includes a current limiter to protect PFET1 from large transient currents. Whenever a current overload is detec-
ted, the switching logic advances the transition from PFET1 to NFET and optionally sends an interrupt signal to the processor.
A zero-voltage detector is included to prevent reverse current in DCM mode. When NFET is on and zero voltage is detected across
NFET, the switching logic will turn NFET off to prevent reverse current. The zero-voltage detector can be disabled to enable forced
CCM mode. It can also be configured as a programmable reverse current limiter.
3.3.37.2 DC-DC Converter Low Noise (LN) Controller
The LN controller consists of an active-RC type-III compensator, a ramp generator and a PWM comparator. The compensator gener-
ates an error voltage from on-chip feedback, which is compared against a ramp voltage by the PWM comparator. The resulting PWM
signal is duty-cycle limited between 3% and 96%, with circuitry to avoid control-loop lockout. The PWM frequency can be generated
from the ramp generator's oscillator or from an external clock from the radio's RF synthesizer. Noise mitigation hardware post-process-
es the PWM signal to avoid in-band noise coupling into the radio system.
3.3.37.3 DC-DC Converter Low Power (LP) Controller
The LP controller consists of a continuous-time comparator with hysteresis and a constant frequency pulse generator. When the output
voltage is lower than the low threshold of the comparator, the pulse generator is enabled to activate the powertrain. The powertrain
switches at a constant-frequency with a fixed duty cycle of about 90%. When the DC-DC output exceeds the comparator's high thresh-
old, the pulse generator is disabled until the cycle starts over again on the next low-threshold crossing. The comparator has four pro-
grammable response-time settings. The lowest setting consumes only approximately 50nA, providing high-efficiency regulation of cur-
rent loads down to the micro-ampere range.

Figure 5.1. EFR32MG1X232 Typical Application Circuit: Direct Supply Configuration without DC-DC converter
Typical power supply circuits using the internal DC-DC converter are shown below. The MCU operates from the DC-DC converter sup-
ply. For low RF transmit power applications less than 13dBm, the RF PA may be supplied by the DC-DC converter. For OPNs support-
ing high power RF transmission, the RF PA must be directly supplied by VDD for RF transmit power greater than 13 dBm.
