NRF51 Vs NRF52

Hello Nordics Developer I'm from indonesia, i'm electronics designer, i have develop new products using BLE, first develop i'm using nrf51 series but And my boss ask is there any better than nrf51? In indonesia enough difficulty to develop product using BLE from nordic, we have ordered NDK51 to digikey, from digikey say stock limited product and marketed only to there, is there any solution of this problem, thank you very much,

  • nRF52 is the next generation chip and if you can use it you should most definitely look at it. The most recent chip, the nRF52840 isn't out yet but that is even better. The nRF51 is a great chip and has been a workhorse for ages, but the newer ones have many more features.

    If you're having problems with Digikey, try Mouser or if you're just trying to get the devkit, something like SemiconductorStore has been really helpful to me. I know some of the larger stockists have a lot of paperwork before they'll ship out of the US because of US export requirements, that despite the fact the boards were designed and manufactured outside the US and only entered there to go in a warehouse.
