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

2025-09-03

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

The new-generation nRF54L15 chip demonstrates impressive power performance at TX +8dBm:

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.
