The recently announced nRF52832 from Nordic Semiconductor is a multiprotocol Bluetooth Smart, ANT/ANT+ and 2.4 GHz proprietary SoC offering -96 dB RX sensitivity, 5.5 mA peak RX/TX currents, and an on-chip RF Balun for Ultra Low Power wireless applications. Included on the chip is an ARM Cortex M4F processor with 512 kB flash (400 kB available for application development) and 64 kB RAM memory. The device also has a NFC-A tag interface for out-of-band pairing capability. A fully-automatic power management system enables the device to achieve a figure of 90 CoreMark/mA.
