Thread

Flagship SoC

The nRF5340 SoC is the first SoC in the nRF53 Series and is the world’s first wireless SoC with two Arm® Cortex®-M33 processors. The nRF5340 is an all-in-one SoC, it includes a superset of the most prominent nRF52® Series features. The two processors and advanced security features are a great starting point for your application. With the capabilities for Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth LE the nRF5340 is a multiprotocol powerhouse. With high-speed SPI, QSPI, USB, and even Arm Cryptocell 312 it enables ambitious Thread products.

nRF52 Series

Four of the seven SoCs in the nRF52 Series also support Thread. All four integrate a powerful yet efficient 64 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 CPU. Flash memory size ranges from 192KB to 1024 KB while RAM size ranges from 24KB to 256 KB. Our nRF52 Series offers simple cost-effective options. It has advanced options and enables your products with top features and ultra-low power. The nRF52 Series is the ideal platform for basing a product portfolio upon. Similar hardware and software architecture across the series results in excellent software portability. Software reusability gets increased reducing your time-to-market and development cost.

Multiprotocol

All SoCs can run both Bluetooth Low Energy and a mesh protocol like Thread/Zigbee/Bluetooth mesh concurrently. The radio time is time-sliced and shared between the protocols. The scheduling is autonomous and maintains connections.

The nRF52 and nRF53 Series are all-flash based SoCs. Flash memory brings complete flexibility and upgradability to your products. They can be re-programmed in the factory or in the field with over-the-air device firmware upgrades (OTA DFU). This enables product updates and feature additions any time, anywhere.
