NRF52810 comparison

[Adam Sillye]

Do you have an XLS comparison on NRF52810, NRF52832, and NRF52840? What features/peripherals they have?

Thank you. Adam

Isn't this enough?

Hi Adam,

we do not have a spreadsheet that compares the nRF52 Series ICs against each other, but the the main differences between the nRF52810 and the nRF52832 are described in this answer.

The main differences between the nRF52840 and the nRF52832 are the following:

• Supports 802.15.4
• Supports BLE 5 Long Range
• Output power increased to +8dBm
• Flash increased to 1MB and RAM increased to 256kB.
• Number of PWM channels increased from 12 to 16.
• Number of UART peripherals increased from 1 to 2
• Added 1 x Full-speed 12 Mbps USB controller
• Added 1 x Quad SPI interface 32 MHz
• Added 1 x High-speed SPI interface 32 MHz
• Added ARM Cryptocell CC310 cryptographic accelerator
• Extended Supply voltage range from 1.7 V to 5.5 V
• Regulated supply for external components up to 25 mA
• Up to 48 GPIOs

All this information can be found in the product briefs for the respective ICs, i.e. here for the nRF52810, here for the nRF52832 and here for the nRF52840

Thank you!

There is a nice table right here

You may also need to consider the physical package of these devices.

Currently the nRF52840 is currently only going to be available in a package which needs via in pad technology, which is not supported by a number of the cheaper CAD packages, or by the cheaper PCB producers.

I think the 52840 is needs a 4 layer PCB, where as I think it's possible to get away with 2 layers on the 52832 etc
