3.3 EM35x Module
The EM35x Module (see figure below) contains the Ember EM35x System-on-Chip (SoC) solution providing a complete radio and mi-
crocontroller solution. All modules are pin-compatible, and they can be directly attached to a Breakout Board. The kit includes both
EM357 and EM3588 module variants.
The EM35x module is used together with the Development Kit Breakout Board to prototype customer hardware, and to develop and
debug application software. Its low-power design represents a good starting point for your own product design.

The EM35x Module includes these components:
• The Ember EM35x SoC (IEEE 802.15.4-compliant, 2.4 GHz radio transceiver with ARM
®
Cortex™-M3 microcontroller).
• All off-chip components required for optimum SoC performance
• Two LEDs
• Packet Trace Port connector
For detailed information about the modules, see document TS8, the
EM3x Module Technical Specification
.
Once you move away from the EM35x Module and toward application-specific hardware, refer to the extensive reference design library
available through the Silicon Labs support portal. Each reference design provides a schematic, Bill of Materials (BOM), characterization
data, and layout files. They are designed and delivered in a manner that reduces both time to market and hardware implementation
risk. For assistance in locating the best design for your needs, contact Customer Support.
