BGM13S Blue Gecko Bluetooth
Module Data Sheet
The BGM13S is Silicon Labs' first SiP module solution for Bluetooth 5.0 LE connectivity.
It supports 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps and coded LE Bluetooth PHYs. Also, with 512 kB of flash
and 64 kB of RAM, the BGM13S is suited to meet Bluetooth Mesh networking memory
requirements effectively.
Based on the EFR32BG13 Blue Gecko SoC, the BGM13S delivers robust RF perform-
ance, low energy consumption, a wide selection of MCU peripherals, regulatory test cer-
tificates for various regions and countries, and a simplified development experience, all
in a 6.5 × 6.5 mm package. Together with the certified software stacks and powerful
tools also offered by Silicon Labs, the BGM13S minimizes the area requirements, engi-
neering efforts and development costs associated with adding Bluetooth 5.0 or Bluetooth
Mesh connectivity to any product, accelerating its time-to-market.
The BGM13S is intended for a broad range of applications, including:
• Wearables
• IoT end-node devices and gateways
• Health, sports, and wellness
• Industrial, home, and building automation
• Beacons
• Smart phone, tablet, and PC accessories
