October 6, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — Nordic Semiconductor has introduced the nRF54LM20A, a high-memory addition to its nRF54L Series of ultra-low power wireless SoCs, targeting advanced consumer, industrial and healthcare devices.

Built on Nordic’s 22 nm technology, the SoC combines a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33, a 128 MHz RISC-V coprocessor, and support for up to 66 GPIOs. It integrates 2 MB of non-volatile memory and 512 KB of RAM, enabling developers to design complex Bluetooth LE and Matter-based products without the need for external memory.

The chip features Nordic’s fourth-generation ultra-low-power 2.4 GHz multiprotocol radio, supporting Bluetooth LE with Channel Sounding, IEEE 802.15.4-2020 for Thread, Matter, Zigbee, and proprietary 2.4 GHz modes up to 4 Mbps. Compared with the nRF52 Series, the nRF54L line offers double the processing performance, triple the efficiency, and as much as 50% lower power consumption.

Nordic highlighted use cases such as gaming peripherals requiring low-latency wireless and high-speed USB, while also noting the device’s suitability for industrial and healthcare systems where extended battery life, robust security and reliable connectivity are critical.

To support adoption, the company launched the nRF54LM20 DK development kit, which provides access to all chip features and integrates with the nRF Connect SDK and toolchain. Nordic also offers training through the Nordic Developer Academy, where courses on Bluetooth LE and SDK fundamentals have already attracted tens of thousands of developers.

Samples and development kits are available now under Nordic’s early access program, with volume production expected in the first quarter of 2026. For more information, please visit https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf54LM20A/page/keyfeatures_html5.html.
