Nordic Semiconductor launches nRF24LU1 redefining industry benchmarks for size, performance and security of USB dongles for wireless peripherals

Nordic Semiconductor has released the nRF24LU1, a single chip 2.4GHz transceiver that has redefined the industry leading benchmarks for size, performance and security of USB dongles for ultra-low power wireless peripherals.

The Nordic Semiconductor nRF24LU1 single chip 2.4GHz transceiver enables ultra-compact USB dongles with a unique combination of future-proofed performance and security. It provides native support for up to five bidirectional ultra-low power wireless peripherals communicating simultaneously via a single, ultra-compact full-speed USB 2.0-compliant dongle. The unique features of the chip include full interoperability with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01^TM 2 Mbps 2.4GHz transceiver and its unique Enhanced ShockBurst^TM hardware link layer, a full-speed USB 2.0-compliant device controller, an 8051 compatible microcontroller (MCU), a hardware AES security co-processor and 16 kbytes of flash memory

The nRF24LU1 enables the implementation of ultra-compact, high performance USB dongles for wireless peripherals by providing a true single chip solution in a tiny 5x5mm QFN package with full on-chip security.
