Description
The nRF52832-CIAA-R is a high-performance, ultra-low-power multiprotocol System-on-Chip (SoC) that serves as the centerpiece for advanced wireless connectivity. Built around an ARM® Cortex™-M4 processor with a Floating Point Unit (FPU), this device is optimized for compute-intensive tasks, such as sensor data processing, while maintaining the extremely low power consumption required for wearable and IoT applications.
This version is housed in a WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package), offering an ultra-compact footprint perfect for space-constrained designs where traditional QFN packages are too large. It natively supports Bluetooth 5 (including long-range and high-throughput modes), ANT/ANT+, and proprietary 2.4GHz protocols, making it a highly adaptable “all-in-one” wireless engine.
Note: Product images are for illustrative purposes only. Due to the WLCSP (ball grid array) nature of this package, please refer to the official Nordic Semiconductor datasheet for specific pad layout, reflow soldering profiles, and PCB design guidelines.
Features
- Multiprotocol Support: Bluetooth 5 (LE), ANT/ANT+, and proprietary 2.4GHz.
- CPU Performance: 64MHz ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU for advanced math and signal processing.
- Advanced Security: Includes on-chip AES-128 hardware encryption.
- Ultra-Compact: WLCSP (SMD-50) packaging provides an industry-leading small footprint.
