Notable IoT chipset maker Qorvo has announced three additions to its QPG6200 series on Tuesday, expanding its lineup of multi-protocol chipsets, also known as system-on-a-chip (SoC), with Matter capabilities. Built on the existing QPG6200L chipset, the new models maintain support for Thread, Zigbee, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) through the company’s ConcurrentConnect technology, which allows simultaneous operation across protocols.
Designed for smart home devices
There are four members in the family, with each targeting slightly different use cases. The QPG6200J and QPG6200L are compact, low-pin-count options intended for less demanding devices like lights, sensors, and switches. The QPG6200M and QPG6200N add Coexistence (Coex) integration and more capabilities, aimed at more complex devices like smart hubs and gateways.
Key features include:
-
Support for Matter over Thread, Zigbee, and BLE
-
Operation in multi-protocol concurrently
-
Software-configurable transmit power, up to 20 dBm
-
Built-in security features
-
Power-efficient architecture suitable for battery-powered and energy-harvesting devices
The chips are packaged in tiny QFN formats ranging from 4×4 mm to 5×5 mm, with varying numbers of general-purpose pins.
Matter development and market impact
The QPG6200L is already in production with original equipment manufacturers, according to Qorvo. The full chipset family is expected to follow in the third quarter of 2025. Qorvo says the new additions are intended to reduce time-to-market for manufacturers building Matter-compatible products.
Though consumers won’t interact with these components directly, chipsets like the QPG6200 series influence how reliably and efficiently smart home devices operate, particularly as Matter adoption increases. The expanded lineup may support a wider range of product types, including those operating in constrained power environments or requiring concurrent protocol support.
A recent leak from @CyberModStudio suggested that the new Matter smart switch, Bilresa, from Ikea will use the QPG6200L chipset mentioned above. So the device may be able to connect to Dirigera via Zigbee and Matter platforms via Thread at the same time.
As more devices adopt multi-protocol Matter-capable designs, chipsets with integrated connectivity features are becoming central to smart home development.
