The Emcraft nRF9151 System-On-Module (SOM-NRF9151) is a miniature module (30.5mm x 55mm) that is centered around the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 low-power SiP (System-In-Package), providing powerful processing capabilities using the ARM Cortex-M33 CPU core and advanced cellular IoT connectivity using the integrated LTE-M/NB-IoT and DECT NR+ modem, and GNSS.
The SOM-NRF9151 makes use of the following devices, which, combined together, provide a highly-efficient and customisable hardware and software platform:
- nRF9151 for LTE-M/NB-IoT and DECT NR+ modem, and GNSS, is the host processor managing the overall application.
- Ready for IoT cellular connectivity with the on-board SIM holder and U.Fl antenna connectors for LTE and GNSS.
- nPM1300 is the Power Management IC, enabling efficient battery charging, low-power operation and longer run times.
- 16MB Flash enhances the internal storage of the nRF9151 for advanced storage and OTA (Over-The-Air) requirements.
- I2C RTC for reliable time management.
- All unused I/O interfaces are available to a carrier board on the two 50-pin 0.4mm-pitch connectors.

Contact us
|
In addition to the main SOM-NRF9151 platform, Emcraft supports a more sophisticated platform composed of the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151, as the main microcontroller, and the nRF5340, as a sub-ordinate microprocessor. This platform is referred to as the "Emcraft 9151+5340 platform”.
The Emcraft 9151+5340 platform is a hardware and software platform that is designed to streamline development of advanced LTE modem, cellular IoT and global connectivity applications, with BT and UI interfaces. The platform is based on the following Nordic Semiconductor SiP (System-in-Package) devices and components, which, combined together, provide a highly-efficient and customisable hardware and software platform:
- nRF9151 for LTE-M/NB-IoT and DECT NR+ modem, and GNSS, is the host processor managing the overall application.
- nRF5340 for Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth mesh, NFC, Thread and Zigbee, is the sub-ordinate, optional processor enabling BT and USB connectivity.
- nPM1300 is the Power Management IC, enabling efficient battery charging, low-power operation and longer run times.
Emcraft provides the Zephyr BSP (Board Support Package) and a Zephyr reference application, with advanced software capabilities, for the 9151+5340 platform. Software development services are available on demand.
