New nRF54L15 SoC: Excellent Processing Power and Security
Nordic Semiconductor continues to disrupt the industry with the new nRF54L15 SoC. This next-generation chip offers superior processing power and efficiency, offering a breakthrough for wireless communication devices. Here are the highlights of the nRF54L15 SoC:
1. Excellent Processing Power and Efficiency
The nRF54L15 SoC integrates an Arm Cortex-M33 processor running at 128 MHz, doubling the processing power of the nRF52840 while reducing power consumption. This provides faster and more efficient performance. It is equipped with 1.5 MB of non-volatile memory and 256 KB of RAM, which offers more than enough resources to run multiple wireless protocols simultaneously.
2. Enhanced Security
nRF54L15 also stands out in terms of security. It offers the highest level of IoT security standard with PSA Certified Level 3. It protects your device with security services such as Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, and Secure Storage. Additionally, integrated tamper sensors can detect attacks and take appropriate countermeasures, while cryptographic accelerators are hardened against side-channel attacks.
3. Best in Class Multi-Protocol Radio
This SoC has best-in-class multi-protocol radio capabilities. It offers longer range and improved robustness with up to 8 dBm TX power and -98 dBm RX sensitivity. It includes a new 4 Mbps data rate option for 2.4 GHz proprietary protocols. Supports Bluetooth Low Energy and all Bluetooth 5.4 features. Additionally, protocols such as Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Matter are also supported.
4. New Global RTC Peripheral for Longer Battery Life
The nRF54L15 includes the new Global RTC peripheral to provide longer battery life. This feature wakes the SoC from its deepest sleep mode, eliminating the need for an external RTC and significantly reducing energy consumption, providing years of battery life.
5. Ultra Compact Packages
The nRF54L15 offers different package options to provide design flexibility. The QFN package and two different WLCSP packages are available, making them ideal for designs with size restrictions.
6x6mm QFN48 with 31 GPIOs
2.4x2.2 mm WLCSP with 32 GPIOs (300 um pitch)
2.4x2.2 mm WLCSP with 14 GPIO (350 um pitch)
6. Wide Range of Applications
The nRF54L15 provides an ideal solution for many applications such as computer accessories, game controllers, virtual reality, smart home technologies, medical devices, industrial IoT and more.
Nordic Semiconductor's nRF54L15 SoC is a significant advancement in the world of wireless communications and raises industry standards in both security and performance. This new chip is an important step that will make the smart devices of the future better and safer.
