| Part Number | Package | Interfaces | RF Family/Standard | Rx Current | Tx Current | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NRF52832-QFAA-R7 (Nordic Semiconductor ASA) | VFQFN-48 | I2S, SPI, UART | Bluetooth | 5.4mA | 7.5mA | 23,395 |
| NRF52832-QFAA-R (Nordic Semiconductor ASA) | VFQFN-48 | I2C, SPI, UART | 1GHz | 5.5mA | 5.5mA | 207,087 |
| NRF52832-QFAA-T (Nordic Semiconductor ASA) | VFQFN-48 | I2S, SPI, UART | Bluetooth | 5.4mA | 7.5mA | 12,992 |
| NRF52832-CIAA-R (Nordic Semiconductor ASA) | XFBGA-50 | I2S, SPI, UART | 1GHz | 5.4mA | 7.5mA | 88,230 |
Variants within the nRF52832 sub-family primarily differ by packaging and shipping format. The QFAA variant is offered in a 48-pin QFN package for standard PCB assembly, while the CIAA variant utilizes a Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) for space-constrained designs. Differences in suffix codes like R or R7 indicate tape-and-reel quantities, such as 3,000 or 1,000 pieces respectively.
