Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the nRF9151 low-power cellular SiP from Nordic Semiconductor. The fully integrated, pre-certified SiP delivers unmatched performance and versatility using low-power LTE technology, advanced processing, and robust security features. The SiP is specially designed for cellular IoT and DECT NR+ applications, including smart sensors, predictive maintenance, and smart agriculture.

The SiP integrates a SoC, built-in power management, and integrated RF front-end into a compact 12mm × 11mm package. The SiP's multi-mode LTE-M/NB-IoT modem with DECT NR+ support and GNSS ensures global connectivity without regional limitations. Further features include a 64MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor, 256KB of SRAM and 1MB of flash memory, and Arm TrustZone and CryptoCell security technologies. The SiP is 20% smaller than its nRF91 predecessors, permitting designers to develop more compact products without compromising performance. This decreased footprint is particularly beneficial for wearable devices, smart sensors, and other space-constrained IoT applications. The device supports Class 5 20dBm output in addition to Class 3 23dBm, allowing for greater design flexibility.

The nRF9151-DK development kit supports the nRF9151 Low-Power SiP. The single-board kit allows the evaluation and development of the nRF9151 and features a dedicated LTE-M, NB-IoT, and DECT NR+ antenna. The nRF9151-DK is supplied with a SIM card pre-loaded with free data and has a nano/4FF SIM card slot and an MFF2 SIM footprint to support plug-in and soldered (e)SIMs.
