Product Overview

The NRF52832-QFAA-R is a high-performance multi-protocol System-on-Chip (SoC) based on the ARM® Cortex™-M4 processor (with FPU, up to 64 MHz), designed for ultra-low-power IoT applications. Integrating a 2.4GHz radio transceiver, 512kB Flash, 64kB RAM, and rich peripherals, it supports Bluetooth Low Energy, ANT, proprietary protocols, and NFC-A tag functionality, making it ideal for smart devices requiring high performance and low power consumption.

Key Features

• Superior RF Performance: Achieves -96dBm sensitivity in Bluetooth Low Energy mode, with transmit current as low as 5.3mA (0dBm) and receive current 5.4mA. Output power is adjustable from -20 to +4dBm in 4dB steps, enabling up to 100m communication range.
• High-Performance Core: Equipped with a 64MHz ARM Cortex-M4 processor (with FPU), delivering 215 CoreMark® score and supporting DSP instructions for complex algorithm execution.
• Flexible Memory Configuration: Features 512kB Flash and 64kB RAM, supporting OTA firmware updates and real-time multitasking, compatible with Nordic SoftDevice protocol stacks for simplified development.
• Ultra-Low Power Design: Consumes as low as 0.3µA in System OFF mode (no RAM retention), with dynamic power management and DC-DC regulator for extended battery life.
• Rich Peripherals & Expansion: Includes 32 GPIOs, Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI), 12-bit ADC, AES hardware encryption, NFC-A tag (with wake-on-touch), and multiple timers, supporting UART/SPI/I2C interfaces.
