This document provides guidelines for the hardware verification testing of nRF9151. It is intended for Nordic Semiconductor’s customers, especially system integrators and hardware engineers.
The nRF9151 System in Package (SiP) is a low-power Internet of Things (IoT) solution integrating an Arm® Cortex®-M33 processor with advanced security features, a range of peripherals, and a Low-power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) network processor. The LPWA network processor can operate as a DECT NR+ device, independent of cellular network provider, or as a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) modem compliant with release 14 of the 3GPP LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1/Cat-NB2 standards and release 17 of the 3GPP IoT Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) standard.
The application processor has a built-in 1 MB flash memory, Arm TrustZone® technology, and 32 general purpose I/O pins. The LTE modem has a transceiver with global cellular band coverage, ultra-low current consumption, and single 50 Ω antenna interface. In addition, the modem supports a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver from a second 50 Ω antenna interface.
External to the nRF9151 SiP are supply source, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) solution, antenna with matching circuitry, and any peripherals or sensors.
The following diagram shows an overview of the nRF9151 SiP.
For more information on the features and specifications of nRF9151, see nRF9151 Product Specification.
The features described in this document are supported by modem firmware v2.0.0 and later. For details on the supported firmware, see nRF9151 Downloads.
