The nRF52832 SoC is built around an ARM® Cortex-M4 microcontroller with floating point unit running at 64 MHz. Sketches are stored inside the nRF52832 internal 512 KB FLASH which is shared with the bootloader. 64 KB SRAM is available to the user. The ANNA-B112 acts as the SPI host for the data logging 2MB flash (U7) and the BHI260 6-axis IMU (U5). It is also the secondary for the BHI260 (U5) I2C and SPI connection. While the module itself runs at 1.8V, a level shifter can adjust the logic level between 1.8V and 3.3V depending on the LDO set in BQ25120 (U9). An external oscillator (Y1) provides a 32 KHz signal. +### Microcontroller +The Arduino® Nicla Sense ME is powered by a nRF52832 SoC within the ANNA-B112 module (MD1).
