Nordic adds multiprotocol SoC to nRF54L Series for IoT

Nordic Semiconductor has announced a new system-on-chip (SoC) addition to its nRF54L Series, extending the family with a device aimed at compact, cost-constrained IoT applications.

According to Nordic, the single device supports Bluetooth LE, Thread and Zigbee, allowing one part to address multiple wireless protocol requirements. The company positions it for use in tags, trackers and smart home sensors, where board space and bill-of-materials cost are typically constrained.

Vendor-stated features

Nordic describes the new SoC as offering advanced security features and enhanced energy efficiency compared with earlier devices in the range, though the company has not published detailed figures, test conditions or comparative benchmarks to support these claims in the material provided.

The announcement forms part of Nordic's ongoing expansion of the nRF54L Series rather than a standalone product line, extending existing multiprotocol wireless SoC options for engineers designing battery-powered or space-limited connected devices.

What is not yet specified

No part number, package details, radio performance figures, memory configuration or availability information were included in the source material. Design engineers and buyers evaluating the device for new projects will need to consult Nordic's full technical documentation, which was not part of this announcement, before drawing design or sourcing conclusions.
