Block Diagram & Features
This module is based on nRF52 Nordic Semiconductor 2.4GHz wireless System on Chip (SoC)
integrating a 2.4 GHz transceiver, a 32-bit ARM Cortex™-M4 CPU, flash and RAM memory, and analog
and digital peripherals.
It can support BLE, Mesh, ANT and a range of proprietary 2.4 GHz protocols, such as ShockBurst. Fully
qualified stacks for nRF52 are freely available for operating in Central role, Peripheral role, Scanning and
Advertising.
Ultra-low power consumption and advanced power management enables battery lifetimes up to several
years on a coin cell battery. Even though its very small size 8 x 8 x 0.95 mm, the module integrates, in
addition to the wireless SoC, all required decoupling and load capacitors, DC-DC converter, 32 MHz
crystal, 32.768 kHz optional crystal , RF matching circuit and antenna.
Only the addition of a suitable DC power source is necessary for module connectivity. Sensor
applications require the further addition of appropriate sensors. The antenna was designed to be
optimized with several standard ground plane sizes. When NFC function is available, the NFC tag
antenna can be connected externally.
