1 Device Overview 

 

1.1 Description 

RF-BM-ND04 is an RF module based on Nordic BLE SoC nRF52832QFAA with ARM

®

 Cortex

®

-M4 32-bit processor. It 

integrates a 32.768 kHz and a 32 MHz crystal, an LC filter, an antenna matching and a meander line inverted-F PCB 

antenna. It supports BLE stack v5.0 including the high-speed 2 Mbps feature and can be preprogrammed with a serial 

interface communication protocols, such as NFC, ANT and 2.4 GHz proprietary for simple programming. RF-BM-ND04 

also  support  Bluetooth  mesh  which can  be  run  concurrently  with  Bluetooth  LE,  enabling  smartphones  to  provision, 

commission, configure and control mesh nodes. The module has NFC-A Tag for use in simplified pairing and payment 

solutions.  It  also  has  numerous  digital  peripherals  and  interfaces  such  as ADC,  PDM,  PWM,  I

2

C  and I

2

S  for  many 

applications. It features low power consumption, small size, robust connection distance, and rigid reliability. 1.27-mm 

pitch stamp stick package for easy assembling and cost-effective PCB design. RF-BM-ND04 is pin-to-pin compatible 

with RF-BM-ND04C / ND04I / ND04CI / ND05 / ND05I.
