Product Overview
NCS36510: Low Power System-on-Chip For 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 Applications
Including Zigbee®, Thread®, and Proprietary
For complete documentation, see the data sheet.
The NCS36510 is a low power, fully integrated, System on Chip that integrates a 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver,
ARM® Cortex®-M3 microprocessor, RAM and FLASH memory, a true random number generator, and multiple peripherals to
support design of a complete and secure wireless network with minimal external components.
The NCS36510 offers advanced power management techniques that allow operation down to supply voltages as low as 1 V while
minimizing current consumption. The NCS36510 is specifically designed for applications requiring maximum battery life while
minimizing cost. The NCS36510 incorporates an industry leading 32 bit ARM Cortex-M3 for high performance, low power and low
cost processing.
The NCS36510 includes 640 kB of embedded FLASH memory for program storage along with 48 kB of RAM for data storage.
NCS36510 uses a hardware accelerated MAC to minimize processor overhead while maximizing available processor power for
running application software.
Peripherals include DMA, UART(2), SPI(2), I2C(2), PWM, RTC, three programmable timers, WDT, 18 GPIO, 10 bit ADC with four
external inputs and integrated temperature and voltage sensors.
Available software includes an 802.15.4 MAC layer demo application, a Zigbee 3.0 certified stack with example applications, and a
Thread demo. All available software is linked below in the software section.
The NCS36510 is also available as a fully-certified RF PCB module (NCAT00LKT002G40)
