The nRF52 Series is a family of wireless multiprotocol System-on-Chips (SoCs) offering a broad selection for any product requiring Bluetooth® Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, Thread or Zigbee
connectivity. All family members are extremely advanced and energy efficient, but have different feature sets and memory configurations.

All the SoCs integrate a powerful yet efficient 64 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 CPU, with a floating-point unit (FPU) and an instruction cache on the higher-end SoCs. Flash memory range from 192 KB to 1024 KB while RAM range from 24 KB to 256 KB.

The nRF52 Series SoCs support an extensive range of wireless protocols, offer excellent RX sensitivity and TX power up to 8 dBm. All SoCs support Bluetooth Low Energy and are capable of high-throughput 2 Mbps in addition to features introduced in Bluetooth 5.2. A selection of the devices also supports Bluetooth features such as Direction Finding and Long Range. Mesh protocols like Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Zigbee are supported, and can on the higher-end devices run concurrently with Bluetooth Low Energy. This enables smartphones to provision, commission, configure and control mesh nodes. NFC is available to wake up the devices from sleep or to securely pair out-of-band (OOB).

The nRF5340 is the world’s first wireless SoC with two Arm® Cortex®-M33 processors. The combination of two flexible processors, the advanced feature set, and an operating temperature up to 105 °C, makes it the ideal choice for LE Audio, professional lighting, advanced wearables, and other complex IoT applications.

The nRF5340 is an all-in-one SoC, including a superset of the most prominent nRF52® Series features. Features like Bluetooth® 5.3, high-speed SPI, QSPI, USB, up to 105 °C operating temperature, and more, are combined with more performance, memory and integration, while minimizing current consumption.

The Nordic Thingy:52™ is an easy-to-use prototyping platform, designed to help in building prototypes and demos, without the need to build hardware or even write firmware. It is built around the nRF52832 Bluetooth 5 SoC.

All sensors and actuators can be configured over-the-air using Bluetooth Low Energy. It makes it possible to create demos and prototypes without starting from scratch. It connects to Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled smart phones, tablets, laptops and similar devices, and it sends/receives data from/to its sensors/actuators to an app or cloud. It includes an NFC antenna, and has 1 button and 1 RGB LED that simplifies input and output.

It comes with the accompanying Nordic Thingy:52 app for iOS and Android, and a web Bluetooth API app. It also offers cloud connectivity through the IFTTT web service.

It is powered with a rechargeable Li-Po battery with a capacity of 1440 mAh, that can be charged via USB. Source code for firmware and mobile apps and hardware layout and schematics are available.

The nRF Mesh apps enables you to provision, configure and control Bluetooth mesh networks. They demonstrate a subset of the capabilities of the nRF Mesh open source libraries. Nordic has created these apps to bring the natural benefits of using a smart phone in Bluetooth mesh setup and control activities. Provision in devices with authentication and use the generic interface to configure the nodes.

The source code is available on GitHub and we encourage you to use it as a starting point for your Bluetooth mesh development.

Features:

• Device provisioning and configuration
• Managing network and application keys
• Managing publications and subscriptions
• Generic OnOff, Level and Scenes control
• Sending messages to vendor models
• Sharing network configuration with other phones

nRF Connect SDK is a scalable and unified software development kit for building products based on all our nRF52, nRF53 and nRF91 Series wireless devices. It offers developers an extensible framework for building size-optimized software for memory-constrained devices as well as powerful and complex software for more advanced devices and applications. It integrates the Zephyr RTOS and a wide range of samples, application protocols, protocol stacks, libraries and hardware drivers.

For developing Bluetooth Low Energy, Thread and Zigbee products, the nRF Connect SDK contains all needed software, including protocol stacks. For developing cellular IoT products it contains everything except the LTE modem firmware that must be downloaded separately from our nRF9160 SiP product page.

nRF Connect SDK also offers an unique integration of HomeKit Accessory Development Kit for developing products using both HomeKit over Thread and HomeKit over Bluetooth Low Energy. It is a highly optimized solution that enables battery-powered products with both the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) and application firmware running on a single chip. MFi licensees can get access to the HomeKit repository by contacting us via Nordic DevZone private ticket.

nRF Connect SDK offers a single code base for all our devices and software components. It simplifies porting modules, libraries and drivers from one application to another, thus reducing development time. By enabling developers to pick and choose the essential software components for their application, high memory efficiency is guaranteed.

nRF Connect SDK is publicly hosted on GitHub, offers source code management with Git and has free nRF Connect for VS Code and SEGGER Embedded Studio IDE support. Nordic runs continuous integration tests on the nRF Connect SDK code to ensure robust and secure production quality code.
