GigaDevice

Solsta is an authorised GigaDevice franchise partner, supplying a comprehensive range of microcontrollers, non-volatile memory and wireless connectivity solutions for embedded and industrial applications.

From GD32 microcontrollers and high-performance Flash memory to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy modules, our technical team can help you identify the right GigaDevice products for new designs, redesigns and long-term production requirements.

GigaDevice is a global fabless semiconductor manufacturer specialising in memory, 32-bit microcontrollers and connected embedded technologies.

Working with Solsta gives customers access to GigaDevice technology alongside local product selection, design-in assistance and supply-chain support.

Its product portfolio supports applications ranging from simple embedded control and data storage to motor control, industrial automation, smart devices, edge computing and secure wireless communication.

The GigaDevice GD32 portfolio includes 32-bit microcontrollers based on Arm® Cortex®-M and RISC-V cores. Product families cover entry-level, mainstream, high-performance, low-power, wireless, automotive and application-specific requirements.

GD32 microcontrollers provide scalable processing performance, integrated memory and a broad selection of analogue and digital peripherals.

GigaDevice MCUs can also provide an alternative route when established microcontrollers become difficult to source. However, they should not be treated as automatic pin-for-pin replacements. Hardware, software, peripheral and package compatibility must be assessed before changing devices

Solsta can support this evaluation and help identify suitable GigaDevice options for your design.

They are suitable for applications including:

  • Industrial automation and control
  • Motor control
  • Energy and power systems
  • Robotics
  • IoT devices
  • Building automation
  • Consumer equipment
  • Automotive electronics

GigaDevice offers an extensive non-volatile memory portfolio for code storage, boot memory, configuration data and higher-density embedded storage.

GigaDevice Flash products support a wide choice of densities, supply voltages, interfaces, packages and operating temperature ranges. This allows designers to select memory for compact IoT devices, industrial controllers, embedded Linux platforms, networking equipment and automotive systems.

High-speed Octal NOR products support applications requiring faster boot and code execution, while SPI NAND provides a cost-effective route for higher-density storage.

The range includes:

  • Serial NOR Flash
  • Octal NOR Flash
  • SPI NAND Flash
  • Parallel NAND Flash
  • Automotive-qualified Flash
  • WLCSP and Known Good Die options
  • I²C EEPROM

GigaDevice wireless modules combine embedded processing with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2 connectivity.

Based on the GD32VW553 RISC-V wireless MCU, module options are available with onboard or external antennas. Integrated Flash, SRAM, security features and general-purpose interfaces help reduce the number of separate components required within connected product designs.

Support for Matter over Wi-Fi also provides a route into interoperable connected-device ecosystems.

Solsta can also supply a wider Bluetooth module portfolio where different certification, software, range or form-factor requirements must be considered.

These modules are suited to applications including:

  • Industrial IoT equipment
  • Smart buildings
  • Connected sensors
  • Smart home systems
  • Office equipment
  • Payment terminals
  • Communication gateways
  • Smart city infrastructure

The GigaDevice wireless portfolio includes integrated MCUs and modules designed to combine processing, security and radio connectivity within a single platform.

Key product families include the GD32VW553, supporting Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.2, and the GD32W515, supporting Wi-Fi 4 with an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core and TrustZone® security architecture.

Our team can help assess the complete communications requirement, including wireless technology, processing performance, security, power consumption, antenna configuration and integration.

For systems requiring additional communications technologies, Solsta also offers a wider connectivity portfolio covering:

  • Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy
  • Wi-Fi
  • Cellular and 5G
  • LoRa and LoRaWAN
  • Sub-GHz connectivity
  • Wi-SUN
  • Zigbee

Selecting a semiconductor involves more than matching headline specifications. Solsta provides commercial and technical support throughout the product lifecycle.
