Overview

The nRF52805-CAAA-R7 is an ultra-compact Bluetooth 5.2 SoC built around a 64 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor. Packaged in a tiny 2.48 mm x 2.46 mm WLCSP, it provides a cost-optimized solution for simple wireless applications requiring high-performance processing in space-constrained designs.

Why Choose This Part

It offers an integrated balun and single-crystal operation to minimize the external Bill of Materials. The device balances power efficiency with a 1.1 uA sleep current and features the Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI) for hardware-level automation without CPU intervention.

Applications

Disposable Medical Sensors
Ideal for single-use health monitors where small footprint and low cost are critical.
Stylus and Input Devices
Fits into slim cylindrical form factors for active pens and wireless peripherals.
Proprietary 2.4 GHz Beacons
Utilizes the built-in 2.4 GHz radio for low-duty cycle broadcasting and asset tracking.
Smart Home Sensors
Serves as a cost-effective node for temperature, humidity, or door/window sensors.
