User-friendly Nordic nRF54L15-powered module delivers developers a cost-effective and time-saving solution ensuring shorter project life cycles

Raytac’s AN54L15Q multiprotocol modules integrate nRF54L15 SoC to power next generation wearables, healthcare, industrial IoT, and smart home end products

IoT solutions company, Raytac, has announced a fully pre-certified module series based on Nordic Semiconductor’s next generation nRF54L15 SoC, promising developers low power, high performance hardware, enhanced radio capabilities, and a user-friendly design that will greatly simplify development.

The ‘AN54L15Q’ module series is targeted at developers in a range of high growth markets including wearables, healthcare and medical devices, Industrial IoT (IIoT), smart home, automotive, and consumer electronics. The module series offers three antenna variants (ceramic chip, PCB, and u.FL connector) and supports Bluetooth® Low Energy, Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, Matter, Zigbee, Amazon Sidewalk, and 2.4 GHz proprietary protocols with up to 4Mbps throughput, and will also support Bluetooth 6.0 features including Bluetooth Channel Sounding.

RF performance optimization

“The combination of Nordic’s nRF54L15 SoC and Raytac’s expertise in RF performance optimization meets the increasing market demand for modules with better RF capabilities, energy efficiency, enhanced security, and edge processing,” says Lyon Liu, President, Raytac Corporation. “These pre-certified, ready-to-go modules offer developers a cost-effective and time-saving solution that will enable them to shorten their project life cycle.”

The AN54L15Q module takes advantage of the nRF54L15 SoC’s Arm® Cortex®-M33 processor clocked at 128 MHz, and an ultra-low power multiprotocol 2.4 GHz radio. The Nordic SoC provides enlarged memory up to 1.5 MB non-volatile memory (NVM) and 256 KB RAM, enabling support for advanced application software and wireless protocol stacks on a single chip, and eliminating the need for external MCUs or memory. An integrated RISC-V coprocessor can run software-defined peripherals and handle time-critical tasks.

With innovative technologies emerging - like Channel Sounding in Bluetooth 6.0 - partnering with Nordic, an established leader in the field becomes a clear and practical choice.

The ceramic chip and PCB antenna module variants come in a highly compact 9.5 by 13.7 by 2.1 mm form factor, while the u.FL connector version offers a 9.5 by 14 by 2.1 mm package size. All the modules offer additional features supported by the nRF54L15 including QSPI, SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, PWM, ADC, NFC interfaces, and 31 GPIOs, and an extended operating temperature range of -40 to max. +105 °C. Security is prioritized by design, with the nRF54L15 integrating features such as Arm TrustZone® isolation, tamper sensors, and hardened cryptographic accelerators to fulfill essential-to-advanced security requirements. Raytac also offers customers one-stop support throughout their project life cycle, including hardware, firmware, and certification.

Unrivalled power efficiency

“When the nRF54L15 SoC was announced we were very excited and eager to work with Nordic to deliver the best and most competitive module solution to the market,” continues Liu. “The nRF54L15’s multiprotocol compatibility, security features, and more importantly, the superb power efficiency it offers, made it an obvious choice for Raytac for our upcoming AN54L15Q module series.

“With innovative technologies emerging—like Channel Sounding in Bluetooth 6.0—partnering with Nordic, an established leader in the field becomes a clear and practical choice.”
