BLE SoC delivers superior processing power for wireless IoT applications

19-05-2025 | Mouser Electronics | Semiconductors

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the nRF54L Bluetooth Low Energy SoC solutions from Nordic Semiconductor. Compact and ultra-low-power, the series supports medical and smart home devices, industrial IoT, gaming controllers, and other IoT applications.

The Bluetooth SoCs feature an Arm Cortex-M33 processor running at 128MHz. The nRF54L15, the first SoC in the series, offers a new best-in-class multiprotocol radio and advanced security features. The processor delivers double the processing power of its predecessor while simultaneously lowering power consumption. The SoC includes a 2.4GHz radio offering up to +8dBm Tx power in 1dB increments and -98dBm Rx sensitivity for 1Mbit/s BLE.

The radio supports all Bluetooth 5.4 features, Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, and Matter, and is provided for future Bluetooth specification updates. The series also offers hardware architecture built using TSMC's 22ULL process technology to reduce leakage and enhance performance for IoT applications. The nRF54L series achieves the PSA Certified Level 3 IoT security standard with advanced features, including secure boot, secure firmware update, and secure storage. Three variants are available: the nRF54L15 with 1,524KB non-volatile memory (RRAM) and 256KB RAM; the nRF54L10 with 1,022KB RRAM and 192KB RAM; and the nRF54L05 with 500 KB RRAM and 96KB RAM. The nRF54L series devices are also available in two different packages: a 6mm x 6mm QFN or the ultra-compact 2.4mm x 2.2mm WLCSP for space-limited designs.

The Nordic Semiconductor nRF54L15 Development Kit is a pre-certified, single-board evaluation and prototyping platform based on the nRF54L. The development kit features a pre-mounted nRF54L15 and can also emulate the nRF54L10 and nRF54L05 wireless SoCs. The affordable single-board development kit makes all features of the wireless SoC series available to the developer.
