Laird Connectivity’s Lyra Series Bluetooth 5.3 Modules

Customers who are currently developing a product with SiLabs BGX220S and BGX220P modules and require continued support for their designs after they go EOL can use Lyra as an alternative since they can deploy the same SiLabs Wireless Xpress firmware into the Lyra modules. The Lyra series since it is based on the BG22 can also support SiLabs SDK/Simplicity studio (C code). A fully featured and extensible AT command set is also supported.

The Lyra Series includes the Lyra P, small form factor PCB module with an integrated antenna and the Lyra S, ultra-compact SiP module with an integrated antenna and support for multiple additional pre-certified antennas. The feature-rich Lyra Series is suitable for battery-powered IoT devices and was developed to drive down total cost of ownership, minimize design complexity and risk, and accelerate time to market.

Lyra Series Key Features:

• Bluetooth v5.3
• Widest range of MCU peripherals: UART, I2C, SPI, ADC, GPIO, PWM, PDM, Counter, Timer, Watchdog, PRS
• Bluetooth Low Energy
