NRF52-DK

nRF52832 Multiprotocol Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth 5), ANT/ANT+ and 2.4GHz proprietary System-on-Chip ULP wireless System-on-Chip The nRF52832 is a powerful multiprotocol single chip solutions for ULP wireless applications. It incorporates Nordic’s best-inclass performance radio transceiver, an ARM® Cortex™ M4F CPU and 512kB flash and 64kB RAM memory. The nRF52832 supports Bluetooth® low energy (Bluetooth 5), ANTTM and 2.4GHz proprietary protocol stacks. The device also has a NFC-A tag interface for OOB pairing. 64kB RAM GPIO APB bus with cache AHB Lite bus Timers / Counters 512kB Flash Analog I/O Digital I/O System Peripherals Processor 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F CPU Radio Multiprotocol 2.4GHz NFC-A tag Power supply Oscillators Lower power and higher performance The nRF52832 uses the 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F MCU, together with extensive flash availability, 512kB in total with 400kB available for application development. Code density and execution speed are considerably greater than for 8/16-bit platforms. Having HW support for DSP instructions as well as for Floating point operations positions the Cortex M4F above Cortex M0/M0+/ M3 and M4 performance wise. The Programmable Peripheral Interconnect (PPI) system provides a 20-channel bus for direct and autonomous system peripheral communication without CPU intervention. This brings predictable latency times for peripheral to peripheral interaction and power saving benefits associated with leaving the CPU idle. The device has 2 global power modes ON/OFF, but all system blocks and peripherals have individual power management control which allows for an automatic switching RUN/IDLE for system blocks based only on those required/not required to achieve particular tasks. The new radio is designed to support the Bluetooth 5 2Mbs mode. This means the nRF52832 can be qualified for Bluetooth 5 applications. It supports Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth 5), ANT and proprietary 2.4GHz applications. It is on-air compatible with nRF5x and nRF24x devices. Output power is programmable between +4dBm and -20dBm and has receiver sensitivity of -96dBm for Bluetooth low energy 1Mbs).

The NFC enables OutOf-Band Bluetooth pairing of devices and thus greatly simplifying deployment. Easy, fast and safe code development The nRF52832 offers developers a clean separation between application code development and embedded protocol stacks. This means compile, link and run-time dependencies with the embedded stack and associated de-bugging challenges are removed. The Bluetooth low energy and ANT stack is a precompiled binary available from Nordic Semiconductor, leaving application code to be compiled stand-alone. The embedded stack interface uses an asynchronous and event-driven model removing the need for RTOS frameworks. OTA DFU The nRF52832 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for in the field updates of application software and SoftDevice. Maximum re-use and easy migration The nRF52832 have binary compatible peripherals with the nRF51 Series for most functions enabling easy migration between older parts and the new nRF52 Series. The backwards compatibility of most interfaces and the common SW architecture of the nRF51 Series S130 and the nRF52 Series S132 SoftDevices ensures that existing codebase for the nRF51 Series can in very large parts be re-used effortlessly on the nRF52 Series. SoftDevices The Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices and complement the nRF52 Series SoCs. All nRF52 Series are programmable with software stacks available from Nordic Semiconductor. This brings maximum flexibility to application development and allows the latest stack version to be programmed into the nRF52 Series SoC. Development tools Nordic Semiconductor provides a complete range of hardware and software development tools for the nRF52 Series devices. nRF52832 compatible SoftDevices S132 Bluetooth low energy concurrent central/ peripheral/ observer/broadcaster stack S212* ANT stack S332* Bluetooth low energy concurrent central/ peripheral/ observer/broadcaster /ANT stack SPECIFICATIONS Frequency band 2.4GHz ISM ( 2.36000 – 2.4835GHz) On-air data rate 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps for proprietary and Bluetooth low energy modes (Bluetooth 5 compatible) Modulation GFSK Output power Programmable: +4 to -20dBm in 4dB steps Sensitivity -96dBm Bluetooth, -92.5dBm at 1Mbs ANT, -89dBm at 2Mbs, -30dBm whisper mode Radio current consumption DC-DC at 3V 7.5mA – TX at +4dBm output power, 5.3mA – TX at 0dBm output power, 5.4mA – RX at 1Mbs Microcontroller 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F Program Memory 512kB Flash with cache RAM 64kB Oscillators 32MHz crystal oscillator, 64MHz RC oscillator, 32kHz crystal oscillator, 32kHz RC oscillator (±250 ppm) System current consumption 0.3μA – No RAM retention, 1.2uA – All peripherals in IDLE mode, 1.6uA – All peripherals in IDLE mode and 32KHz XO and RTC running, 30nA per 4KB - RAM retention Hardware Security 128-bit AES ECB/CCM/AAR co-processor GPIO 32 configurable Digital I/O 3 x Hardware SPI master, 3 x Hardware SPI slave, 2 x 2-wire master, 2 x 2-wire slave, UART, Quadrature demodulator, 1x I2S, 1xPDM Peripherals 12-bit/200KSPS ADC, RNG, Temperature sensor, general compararator, low power comparator PPI 20-channel Voltage regulator LDO (1.7 to 3.6V), Buck DC/DC (1.7 to 3.6V) Timers/counters 5 x 32bit, 3 x 24bit RTC Package options RoHS compliant 48-pin 6x6 QFN / 3.0x3.2 Ultra-compact Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) RELATED PRODUCTS nRF52 DK Development kit for Bluetooth low energy, ANT and 2.4GHz applications *ANT related SoftDevices (s212,s332) for the nRF52 series are now obtained from ANT Wireless.
