Multiprotocol Bluetooth 5, ANT/ANT+ and 2.4 GHz proprietary System-on-Chip
nRF52832
A new breed of Bluetooth 5-ready energy SoC
The nRF52832 takes Bluetooth Low Energy SoCs to the next
level with its support for Bluetooth 5. It has an ARM Cortex M4
CPU at its heart, running at 64 MHz, it is capable of handling
demanding application and communication tasks in a short
timeframe. This frees up the CPU handle even more tasks, or to
return to sleep mode, thus conserving precious battery energy.
The nRF52832, and all SoCs in the nRF52 Series family are
flash-based SoCs and are ideal for Device Firmware Updates
(DFU). DFU brings total flexibility and control to the firmware
running in your product. Enabling new security updates, bug-
fixing and feature additions in the field.

Rich peripheral flexibility
The nRF52832 has a plentiful array of peripherals and inter-
faces to enable complex single chip applications to be realized.
All commonly found serial interfaces are supported. Addition-
ally, there are dual PDM digital microphone inputs, QDEC and
PWMs included on-chip. All peripherals and interfaces support
EasyDMA memory mapping to improve performance, efficiency
and simplicity when in use.
Power ON, Power OFF as required
There is an intelligent automated power distribution system
internal to the device. This system ensures only system blocks
that are required to carry out operations are energized. The
power control system energizes ON or OFF blocks in real time
as the application runs.

nRF52832 Product Brief Version 2.2
Simpler, safer code development
The nRF52 Series all support SoftDevices for communication
operations. SoftDevices are pre-compiled, event-driven protocol
stacks supplied as downloadable binaries. SoftDevices have
APIs allowing your application to interact with the protocol in
a clearly defined, and predictable manner. SoftDevices are
developed, tested and maintained by Nordic in-house. As you
develop and build your applications the SoftDevice remains
in exactly the same memory location and as a binary is unaf-
fected by the successive recompilation of your application
during development.
OTA DFU
The nRF52832 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware
Update (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for in the field updates
of application software and SoftDevice.
S132 SoftDevice
The S132 SoftDevice is an advanced Bluetooth 5 protocol stack
for the nRF52832. High application throughput is available
through the 2 Mbps bitrate of Bluetooth 5, and improved co-
existence through CSA #2. It supports up to 20 connections in
any combination of peripheral and central role.
Development tools
Nordic Semiconductor offer the nRF52 DK for development with
the nRF52832 SoC. Segger Embedded Studio is available free
of charge for developers using the nRF52 Series SoC family.
A broad range of development tools, utilities and apps are
freely available to enhance your development experience and
allow detailed evaluation and testing.
