Overview

The nRF52832-QFAA-G-R7 is a high-performance, ultra-low power multiprotocol SoC designed for Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy and 2.4GHz proprietary applications. It features a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M4 processor with a floating point unit (FPU), 512kB Flash, and 64kB RAM to handle complex protocol stacks and application code concurrently. The integrated NFC-A tag support and high sensitivity of -96dBm make it a standard choice for sophisticated wireless IoT nodes.

Why Choose This Part

This SoC offers a balanced performance profile with a 64MHz Cortex-M4 and generous memory, allowing for concurrent multi-protocol operation. Its low power profile, featuring a 0.7uA standby current and 1.9uA sleep current, significantly extends battery life in field-deployed IoT devices.

Applications

Wearable Health Monitors
Utilizes the integrated FPU and DSP instructions for real-time sensor fusion of heart rate and motion data while maintaining low power consumption.
Smart Home Sensors
Ideal for battery-operated door locks and thermostats that require long battery life and secure Bluetooth connectivity.
NFC Commissioning
Uses the on-chip NFC-A tag for Out-of-Band (OOB) pairing, simplifying the user experience for connecting devices to a smartphone.
Advanced Remote Controls
Leverages the 32 GPIOs and low-latency 2.4GHz radio for voice-enabled remotes and wireless gaming peripherals.
