nRF9151 Feather (A1A silicon)

Introducing the nRF9151 Feather from Circuit Dojo

Overview: The nRF9151 Feather is the latest evolution in the line of high-efficiency, low-power development boards designed by Circuit Dojo, leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Nordic Semiconductor's nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP). This board is tailored for developers seeking to create innovative IoT solutions with global cellular connectivity and GPS functionality in a compact form factor.

Key Features:

• Advanced LTE-M, NB-IoT and DECT NR+ Support: With the nRF9151 SiP at its core, the nRF9151 Feather offers robust connectivity for IoT devices, supporting both LTE-M, NB-IoT and DECT NR+ ensuring your projects are ready for global deployment right out of the box.

• Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Ready: The nRF9151 Feather (with A1A silicon) extends connectivity beyond traditional cellular towers by supporting satellite-based NTN features. This enables reliable IoT deployments in remote or hard-to-reach areas where terrestrial coverage is limited or unavailable, opening new possibilities for global asset tracking, agriculture, and emergency communications.

• Integrated GPS: Equipped with GPS capabilities, this board is ideal for applications requiring precise location tracking, such as asset tracking, logistics, and smart city applications.

• One Antenna: that's right! You only need one antenna to get both support for GPS and Cellular functionality.

• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: with the use of Nordic's impressive nPM1300 PMIC, the nRF9151 Feather achieves even lower power consumption with sleep modes less than 1µA, making it perfect for battery-operated devices that need to last longer.

• Feather Ecosystem Compatibility: Designed in the popular Adafruit Feather form factor, it's fully compatible with the vast ecosystem of FeatherWing boards, allowing for easy expansion with sensors, displays, and other peripherals.

• Onboard sensors: Includes a LIS2DH 3 axis accelerometer and STS40 temperature sensor with ±0.2°C accuracy

• Enhanced Security Features: Incorporates Arm TrustZone® technology for trusted execution and Arm CryptoCell™ for robust security, ensuring your IoT solutions are secure against potential cyber threats.

• Developer-Friendly:

  • Zephyr RTOS Support: Fully compatible with the Zephyr RTOS through the Circuit Dojo Zephyr Tools Plugin on VSCode
  • No Need for External Programmers: Features a built-in CMSIS DAP programmer for direct programming over USB, reducing the need for additional hardware!
