The module integrates the nRF52832 chip from Nordic Semiconductor (running Bluetooth 4.2), offering a 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 CPU, 512kB of flash memory, analogue and digital peripherals SPI, I2C and GPIO. Combined with its integrated 32 MHz and 32 kHz crystal, RF antenna and matching circuit, this module forms a fully featured standalone Bluetooth Low Energy node.
It draws 5.5 mA typical for transmission and reception, 1.5 µA in standby mode and 0.7 µA in deep sleep mode, ensuring best in class performance with a long battery lifetime. Transmission output power reaches +4 dBm and reception sensitivity is -96 dBm.
