Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF54LC10A ultra-low-power wireless SoC has been shortlisted for the Electronics Excellence Awards under the Semiconductor category.
The nRF54LC10A is Nordic Semiconductor’s entry-level wireless SoC in the nRF54L Series, aimed at space- and cost-constrained Bluetooth LE applications and at simple smart home devices. Its memory and peripheral set are right-sized for simple connected products, so developers can meet aggressive size and cost targets while keeping the wireless protocols, advanced security features, and software ecosystem of the series.
At its core is a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor with FPU, DSP, MPU, and TrustZone, supported by a 128MHz RISC-V coprocessor that can offload time-critical tasks. The device provides 1MB NVM, 192KB RAM, three SPI/TWI/UART instances, an eight-channel ADC (10-bit, 14-bit with oversampling), and a Global RTC that remains available in System OFF. Preliminary processing figures are 503 CoreMark and 239 CoreMark/mA.
The 2.4GHz radio supports Bluetooth LE with Channel Sounding, and IEEE 802.15.4-2020 for Thread and Zigbee. Matter is supported for simple sensors whose functionality fits the device’s memory. Nordic’s proprietary mode reaches 4Mbps, where higher throughput or lower latency is needed. Radio current is 4.0mA in receive and 5.8 mA in transmit at 0dBm, with a maximum output of +4dBm and sensitivity of -97dBm (Bluetooth LE 1 Mbps) and -101dBm (IEEE 802.15.4).
