RF Transceiver ICS datasheet and documents for NRF9161-LACA-R7

NRF9161-LACA-R7

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The NRF9161-LACA-R7 is a System-in-Package (SiP) from Nordic Semiconductor, integrating an LTE-M/NB-IoT modem with GNSS and DECT NR+ capabilities. It features a 64 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor with 1 MB flash and 256 kB RAM. The device supports frequencies from 600 MHz to 2.2 GHz, delivering 23 dBm output power and -108 dBm sensitivity. It operates on 3V to 5.5V supplies within a -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

Integrates multi-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT modems with GNSS and DECT NR+ support in a compact package.
Includes a secure Arm Cortex-M33 application processor with TrustZone and CryptoCell hardware acceleration.
Supports advanced power-saving modes like eDRX and PSM for extended battery life in IoT applications.

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

Cellular IoT asset tracking and telemetry
Smart metering and utility infrastructure monitoring
DECT NR+ mesh network nodes
Industrial automation sensors

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and tape/reel configuration. Confirm that firmware requirements for DECT NR+ are sourced through official Nordic channels due to regional regulatory restrictions. Ensure compatibility with the nRF Connect SDK version supporting the intended protocol stack before procurement.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring integrated cellular connectivity alongside non-cellular DECT NR+ capabilities in a single SiP. It is suitable for designs needing global LTE-M/NB-IoT coverage without geographic limitations. Consider the 10x16mm form factor for space-constrained applications requiring high integration levels.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the nRF91 series of low-power cellular IoT solutions. It serves as an enhanced successor to the nRF9160, adding support for DECT NR+ and 3GPP Release 14 protocols. The series targets developers building secure, long-range IoT devices with minimal external components.
