ULP wireless System-on-Chip

The nRF52832 is a powerful multiprotocol single chip solutions

for ULP wireless applications. It incorporates Nordic’s best-in-

and 512kB flash and 64kB RAM memory. The nRF52832 supports

protocol stacks. The device also has a NFC-A tag interface for

OOB pairing.

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).
