Product details
Overview
DA14580A3DB-P from Renesas Electronics is a Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 System-on-Chip (SoC) integrating ARM Cortex-M0 processor, dedicated BLE Link Layer hardware, 32 kB OTP, 42 kB SRAM, and fully compliant 2.4 GHz transceiver with -93 dBm sensitivity and 0 dBm output power. It serves as standalone application processor or data pump in battery-powered wearables and sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the DA14580A3DB-P datasheet, DA14580A3DB-P pinout, DA14580A3DB-P application, or DA14580A3DB-P equivalent, key selection factors include its QFN40 package with 24 GPIOs, integrated buck/boost DC-DC converter supporting 1.5 V alkaline or 3.0 V coin cells, dual UARTs with hardware flow control, and 4-channel 10-bit ADC for battery and sensor monitoring.
Technical Context
The DA14580A3DB-P implements BLE protocol stack in ROM (84 kB), executes application code from OTP-mirrored SRAM, and offloads Link Layer processing to dedicated hardware - enabling ultra-low-power operation with deep sleep current under 1.5 µA. Its clock system combines 16 MHz crystal (±20 ppm) and 32.768 kHz crystal (±50 ppm) with RC oscillators for flexible timing across active and sleep modes.
Power management includes integrated buck/boost DC-DC converter with SWITCH pin for external inductor control, four independent LDOs (RF, SYS, RET), and retention RAM partitioning (2 kB + 2 kB + 3 kB + 1 kB) to preserve BLE state and application variables during Deep Sleep. Radio interface uses single-wire RFIOp/RFIOm with no external matching required.

FAQ
What is the package type and pin count of DA14580A3DB-P?
DA14580A3DB-P uses a QFN40 package (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with 40 terminals, including 24 general-purpose I/Os (P0, P1, P2 ports), RFIOp/m, dual crystal interfaces, power, and debug pins. This matches the "AT" package code in Dialog's ordering nomenclature and is confirmed in datasheet section 2 (Pinout) and Table 2 (Ordering Information).
Does DA14580A3DB-P support over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates?
Yes, DA14580A3DB-P supports OTA updates via its flexible memory architecture: application code resides in OTP, but the boot process copies it to 42 kB SRAM at wake-up; patches can be applied to customer code using dedicated OTP patch areas defined in the OTP header - enabling field-upgradable profiles and firmware without external flash.
What power sources does DA14580A3DB-P support?
DA14580A3DB-P supports both 1.5 V alkaline/NiMH batteries (connected to VBAT1V) and 3.0 V coin cells (connected to VBAT3V), managed by its integrated buck/boost DC-DC converter. The SWITCH pin controls the external inductor, and VDCDC provides regulated output - allowing operation across 1.5 V–3.6 V input while maintaining stable internal rail voltages.
How many ADC channels does DA14580A3DB-P have, and what is their resolution?
DA14580A3DB-P integrates a 4-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation ADC. Inputs ADC[0]–ADC[3] map directly to P0_0–P0_3, supporting battery voltage monitoring and analog sensor interfacing. The ADC includes offset calibration, chopping, and programmable delay counter - delivering usable precision for industrial and medical-grade sensing within its specified operating range.
Is DA14580A3DB-P compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 or later?
No, DA14580A3DB-P implements Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 only, as confirmed in the General Description and Features sections of the datasheet. It does not support Bluetooth 5.0 features such as LE Long Range, LE 2 Mbps PHY, or extended advertising - those require newer SoCs like DA14585/DA1468x or Renesas' RA4W1 series.
