How the new generation nRF54L achieves the perfect balance of high performance and low power consumption

In the global expansion of IoT device connectivity, the choice of transmission power has become a key factor in determining product competitiveness and market success. Nordic Semiconductor’s new-generation nRF54L chip has achieved remarkable power consumption optimization, redefining the balance between high performance and low power consumption.

Aradconn has developed the ultra-low-power Bluetooth module MN54L series based on the Nordic nRF54L chip with transmission power (TX) of +8dBm, it has successfully obtained global certifications, becoming great stage for IoT connectivity. This article provides key decision-making references for your product design, based on detailed performance comparisons.

1. Aradconn ’s MN54L (+8dBm) ultra-low-power Bluetooth module, based on nRF54L, integrates multiple global certification advantages:

• Pre-certified integration: Already approved by FCC (USA), CE (EU), SRRC (China), BQB (Bluetooth certification), and other core certifications.

• Reduced testing costs: Greatly lowers the complexity and time costs of end-product certification.

• Global compliance: Meets regulatory requirements of major international markets, accelerating product globalization.

2. Transmission power(TX) of +8dBm delivers significant performance improvements

• Longer communication distance and stronger coverage: Signals travel farther and penetrate walls, doors, and windows more easily.

• Higher link budget and stronger anti-interference capability: Increased transmission power directly enhances the link budget, leaving more margin against attenuation and interference.

3. Revolutionary Power Consumption: nRF54L15 vs. nRF52840

Breakthrough reduction in transmit mode power consumption

This data shows that at the same +8dBm transmission power, the nRF54L consumes one-third less power than the previous generation, completely changing the traditional belief that “high power inevitably means high power consumption.”

4．power management features

Dynamic memory partitioning technology

• Supports up to 256KB RAM configuration.

• Power consumption can be optimized via partition settings: using 96KB RAM results in just 2.0 mA.

• Flexible memory allocation based on application needs, achieving fine-grained power management.

Low-power peripheral control:

• Global RTC for autonomous wake-up.

• Optimized power consumption during ADC conversion with multiple low-power sampling modes.

Application Scenarios

 • Industrial IoT (IIoT): Industrial sensors, equipment monitoring, warehousing, and logistics.

• Healthcare devices: Remote patient monitoring, hospital equipment tracking, portable diagnostic devices.

• Asset tracking: Container tracking, livestock monitoring, valuable asset tagging.

• Building Management Systems (BMS): Smart lighting, temperature control, smart locks, and security systems.

Conclusion:

At the early stage of product design, prioritizing the new-generation ultra-low-power Bluetooth module MN54L series with +8dBm and certified worldwide which retaining sufficient performance space. Combined with dynamic power management strategies, it achieves the optimal balance between performance and battery life.
