nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP)
Nordic’s nRF9160 SiP includes a low-power application processor with an integrated LTE-M, narrowband (NB)-IoT modem, and GNSS
Nordic's nRF9160 SiP makes low-power cellular technology accessible to a wide range of applications and developers. It solves the complex wireless design challenges and possesses a comprehensive set of qualifications needed to utilize cellular technology through high integration and pre-certification for global operation.
The nRF9160 offers a compact solution for cellular IoT (cIoT) by integrating an application processor, a full LTE-M/NB-IoT modem, an RF front-end, and integrated power management in a 10 mm x 16 mm x 1 mm package. It includes a variant with built-in GNSS support and targets asset tracking applications. In addition to regular GNSS satellite trilateration, it supports cell tower-based and GPS-based location services for more power efficient location acquisition.
The nRF9160 SiP features a globally compatible LTE modem supporting the bands in the US (B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, B14, B25, B26, and B66) and EU/APAC (B1, B3, B4, B5, B8, B13, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, and B28).
The nRF9160 SiP has an integrated Arm® Cortex®-M33 application processor and features Arm TrustZone® and Arm CryptoCell 310 security technology. It includes a broad range of digital and analog interfaces and peripherals for single-device design possibilities, and it can also be used as a serial LTE modem. The necessary modem firmware, real-time operating system (RTOS), application software examples, and hardware reference designs are all provided to implement a full cellular IoT design.
