Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 2.4GHz SoCs

Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 2.4GHz SoCs run at 64MHz with a 215 EEMBC Coremark^® score, 90 Coremark^®/mA, 39µA/MHz (flash), and 30µA/MHz (RAM). The nRF52 components are built for speed to carry out increasingly complex tasks in the shortest possible time and return to sleep, conserving precious battery power. These devices also feature a Cortex-M4F processor. The nRF52 feature a unique fully automatic power management system for achieving optimal power consumption. Built on a cutting-edge 55nm process, they include 6mm x 6mm QFN and miniature 3.0mm x 3.2mm CSP packaging options.

With an EEMBC 215 CoreMark^® score the nRF52 delivers up to 60% more generic processing power and at 90 CoreMark/mA the SoCs are up to 2X as power efficient. They have a full range of on-chip analog and digital peripherals for glueless interfacing to external components like sensors, displays, touch controllers, LEDs, keypads, motors, digital microphones, and audio Codecs. The nRF52 are an ideal single-chip solution for wearables, human interface devices like remote controllers, toys, smart home devices and appliances, and wireless charging.

The nRF52810 High-Performance Multiprotocol SoCs support BLUETOOTH® 5, ANT, and 2.4GHz proprietary applications. The nRF52810 SoCs are designed with advanced features like BLUETOOTH® 5 and an Arm® Cortex-M4 CPU making them ideal for low-cost BLUETOOTH® low energy applications. The nRF52810 series offers a broad selection of features, memory variants, and small-footprint package options.

The nRF52832 feature 512kB Flash and 64kB RAM, best-in-class ultra high performance, ultra-low-power multi-protocol BLUETOOTH® Smart, ANT™, and proprietary 2.4GHz radio with -96dB RX sensitivity. The SoCs also have 5.5mA peak RX/TX currents and an on-chip RF Balun.
