NXP Semiconductors has announced the availability of its
QN9090 and QN9030 Bluetooth 5 System on Chip (SoC) with hardware compatible
options for 802.15.4, Multiprotocol RF, and optional NFC technology. The latest
additions to its QN series of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices enable next
generation intelligent connected devices by achieving ultra-low power
consumption and integrating a high-capacity CPU with a wide operating
temperature range, a comprehensive mix of analog and digital peripherals and
BLE mesh support.
The QN9090 and QN9030 devices are powered by an Arm
Cortex-M4 running at 48MHz and include up to 640KB onboard flash and 152KB
SRAM, providing storage space and flexibility for complex applications and safe
over-the-air (OTA) updates. NXP says the QN Series is designed for diverse IoT
applications such as personal healthcare devices, sports and fitness trackers,
connected appliances, building and home automation, toys and gaming
peripherals, as well as beacons and mesh networks.

As NXP’s BLE SoC with NFC integrated on chip, the QN9090T
and QN9030T variants support out-of-band wireless communications to enable
numerous use cases. By tapping an IoT device based on the QN9090T to a
smartphone, tablet or other NFC reader device, a BLE connection can be quickly
established, greatly simplifying the pairing process. The built in NFC NTAG
eliminates the need for the tag to be powered and creates additional
opportunities for diagnostics or device commissioning in stages of the device
life cycle.
