Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 Multicore System-on-Chip (SoC)

Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 Multicore System-on-Chip (SoC) integrates two fully programmable Arm® Cortex®-M33 processors, advanced security features, a range of peripherals, and a multiprotocol 2.4GHz transceiver. The transceiver supports BLUETOOTH® Low Energy, ANT™, and 802.15.4 and allows the implementation of proprietary 2.4GHz protocols. The two Cortex-M33 processors allow minimal porting efforts by sharing the power, clock, and peripheral architecture with PAN/LAN SoCs. The full-featured Cortex-M33 processor core includes DSP instructions and an FPU, and runs at up to 128MHz with 1MB of flash and 512kB of RAM. The CPU enables the application processor to run at 64MHz, increasing energy efficiency. The network core is a Cortex-M33 processor with ultra-low power operation. The processor runs at a fixed 64MHz frequency and contains 256kB of flash and 64kB of RAM.

The peripheral set of the Nordic nRF5340 SoC offers a variety of analog and digital functionality, permitting single-chip implementation of a wide range of applications.
