IMM-NRF52832-NANO (BLYST Nano)


Fingertip size Bluetooth® 5 Module

With a design based on the Nordic nRF52832 SoC, combining a low power 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F and the 2.4 GHz radio in a single chip, the BLYST Nano SoM (System on Module) is the perfect way to catch this new Bluetooth IoT wave driven by both Bluetooth® 5 and Bluetooth® Mesh.

  • The BLYST Nano is low power and small enough, at 10 x 7 x 1.6 mm, for wearable and sensor applications.
  • With 30 programmable I/O pins, it's versatile enough to fit any control and automation application.
  • With a hardware floating-point unit, algorithms can be directly implemented on the device, allowing more real-time sensor fusion processing.
  • It is a complete System on the Module with all required components (crystals, coils, DC/DC, etc.) built-in and ready to use. So you don't need to take up more board space with add-on components needed to support a given module.
