Pioneering SoCs for next-generation IIoT applications

With three SoCs from the new Nordic Semiconductor nRF54L series, the nRF54L15, nRF54L10 and nRF54L05, Rutronik is expanding its portfolio of Bluetooth Low Energy SoCs from the company. The nRF54L SoC is a notable addition to the nRF54 series and the successor to the highly popular and in-demand nRF52 series. Higher performance, efficiency and security make this product the optimal and future-proof choice for realising the next generation of wireless IoT products.

All SoCs in the series offer MCU functionality with a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor, doubling the processing power and tripling the processing efficiency – compared to the nRF52840. This allows enhanced functionality in end products while consuming up to three times less power.

Security is one of the key challenges in the IIoT environment, which is why Nordic Semiconductor relies on advanced security features with physical protection for the nRF54L series: secure booting, secure firmware updates, secure storage, and a TrustZone-enabled trusted execution environment, a cryptographic accelerator with side-channel leakage protection and tamper detectors, already enable the development of applications that will meet future security regulations.

The hardware and software highlights of the nRF54L series compared to the predecessor flagship nRF52 (nRF52840), are significantly better specifications in terms of Arm Cortex-M33 (128MHz), instead of Arm Cortex-M4 (64 MHz); 1.5MB NVM/256KB RAM, instead of 1MB Flash/256KB RAM; and Bluetooth LE version 6.0 and higher, instead of Bluetooth LE version 5.4.
