NRF9160-SICA-B1A-R

The nRF9160 is a low-power cellular IoT (Internet of Things) solution, integrating an ARM®
Cortex®
-M33
processor with advanced security features, a range of peripherals, as well as a complete LTE modem
compliant with 3GPP LTE release 13 Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1, and 3GPP LTE release 14 Cat-NB1 and Cat-NB2
standards.
The ARM Cortex-M33 processor is exclusively for user application software, and it offers 1 MB of flash
and 256 kB of RAM dedicated to this use. The M33 application processor shares the power, clock and
peripheral architecture with Nordic Semiconductor nRF51 and nRF52 Series of PAN/LAN SoCs, ensuring
minimal porting efforts.
The peripheral set offers a variety of analog and digital functionality enabling single-chip implementation
of a wide range of cellular IoT (Internet of Things) applications. ARM TrustZone technology, Cryptocell 310
and supporting blocks for system protection and key management, are embedded to enable advanced
security needed for IoT applications.
The LTE modem integrates a very flexible transceiver that in hardware supports frequency range from
700 to 2200 MHz (through a single 50 Ω antenna pin), and a baseband processor handling LTE Cat-M1/
NB1/NB2 protocol layers L1-L3 as well as IP upper layers offering secure socket API for the application. The
modem is supported by pre-qualified software builds available for free from Nordic Semiconductor.
On specific nRF9160 device variants, the LTE modem supports A-GPS operation during sleep intervals in
the LTE operation (RRC idle and PSM modes).
