NORDIC SEMICONDUCTOR
Nordic Semiconductoris a leading manufacturer of SoC (System on Chip) integrated circuits, designed for wireless communication solutions over the ISM 2.4GHZ/SUB 1-GHz frequency band. The company headquarters along with the research and development centre is located in Trondheim, Norway. The company has offices in China, Finland, Hong Kong, Japan, Poland, the United States, Taiwan, and Philippines.
Nordic Semiconductor develops its projects both in the field of hardware (integrated circuits) and software, which means it can offer complex solutions and comprehensive technical support.
The SoC ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are mixed analogue-digital circuits that comprise a microcontroller, an ARM Cortex core, and an analogue 2.4 GHz transceiver in a single package. Particular emphasis is put on low power consumption and ease of implementation (radio part).
Nordic Semiconductor circuits are used mainly in wireless communication in the Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ANTTM, 2.4 GHz RF, and IEEE 802.15.4/Thread standards.
