Overview

The NRF52820-QDAA-R7 is a high-performance multiprotocol SoC designed for ultra-low power wireless applications. Built on an Arm Cortex-M4 core running at 64 MHz, it supports Bluetooth 5.3, Thread, and Zigbee, while featuring a full-speed USB 2.0 interface and a wide supply voltage range up to 5.5V.

Why Choose This Part

This SoC offers a unique balance of high-end features like USB and 8dBm output power in a cost-optimized package with 256kB Flash and 32kB RAM. It enables single-crystal operation and includes an on-chip DC/DC regulator to minimize the external BOM for space-constrained designs.

Applications

Wireless PC Peripherals
Ideal for HID devices like mice and keyboards using its native USB 2.0 support and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity.
Smart Home Lighting
Leverages Zigbee and Thread protocol support to act as a reliable node in mesh networks.
Asset Tracking
Utilizes its -95dBm sensitivity and low sleep current of 1.2uA for long-life battery-operated tracking tags.
Industrial Gateways
Serves as a bridge between 802.15.4 mesh networks and USB-enabled host systems.
