NRF52832-CIAA-R
Overview
The NRF52832-CIAA-R is a highly integrated multiprotocol SoC combining a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M4 with FPU and a 2.4GHz transceiver. It supports Bluetooth 5.3 and proprietary 2.4GHz protocols while maintaining extremely low power consumption in a compact 3x3.2mm WLCSP package. This device is optimized for battery-powered IoT applications requiring significant processing power and a small physical footprint.
Why Choose This Part
The inclusion of a floating-point unit (FPU) allows for efficient execution of complex mathematical algorithms directly on the SoC. It offers a superior power-to-performance ratio with DC/DC regulator options that reduce run current to 3.9mA at 64MHz. The WLCSP package provides a significant space advantage for ultra-compact hardware designs without sacrificing 512kB of Flash and 64kB of RAM.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers should begin development with the nRF5 SDK or the newer nRF Connect SDK based on the Zephyr RTOS. For hardware prototyping, the nRF52-DK (PCA10040) is the standard development board, supported by SEGGER J-Link debuggers and Nordic's nRF Connect for Desktop power profiling tools.
