Product details
Overview
OM15080-QN9090 from NXP Semiconductors is an ultra-low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4 based Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 wireless microcontroller with 640 KB Flash, 152 KB SRAM, integrated 2.4 GHz BLE 5.0 transceiver (−97 dBm sensitivity, +11 dBm max TX), and support for eight simultaneous connections-designed for coin-cell-powered wearable and sensor applications.
For engineers reviewing the OM15080-QN9090 datasheet, OM15080-QN9090 pinout, OM15080-QN9090 application, or OM15080-QN9090 equivalent, key selection considerations include BLE 5.0 2 Mbps data rate, deep power-down current of 350 nA, integrated DMIC subsystem with voice activity detection, 12-bit 8-channel ADC, and hardware AES-128/256 security engine.
Technical Context
The OM15080-QN9090 implements a dual-oscillator timing architecture: a 32 MHz crystal oscillator for system and radio operation, and a dedicated 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator tightly coupled to the BLE link layer for precise timing during power-down cycles. Its RF subsystem includes integrated balun, antenna diversity control (ADE/ADO), and configurable TX power (0 to +11 dBm) with measured RX current of 4.3 mA.
The MCU integrates a 48 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 core with NVIC, MPU, SWD debug, and low-power timers-including two 41-/28-bit wakeup timers that operate in power-down mode. Peripheral integration includes dual I²C, dual SPI, dual USART (one with flow control), 10-channel PWM, ISO7816 smart card interface, and quad-SPIFI for external flash expansion.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum transmit power and corresponding current draw for OM15080-QN9090?
The OM15080-QN9090 supports configurable BLE transmit power up to +11 dBm, drawing 20.3 mA at that level. At lower settings-+3 dBm (9.4 mA) and 0 dBm (7.4 mA)-it enables optimized RF range versus battery life trade-offs. These values are measured under nominal 3.0 V supply and reflect actual radio subsystem efficiency, not theoretical peak ratings.
Does OM15080-QN9090 include an integrated NFC interface?
No, OM15080-QN9090 does not include an integrated NFC tag. The NFC functionality (NTAG I²C device) is exclusive to the QN9090T variant (e.g., QN9090THN). OM15080-QN9090 corresponds to the QN9090HN part number, which omits the NFC block and uses pins LA/LB as no-connects per the HVQFN40 pinout without NTAG.
What crystal oscillators are required for full OM15080-QN9090 operation?
OM15080-QN9090 requires two crystals: a 32 MHz fundamental-mode crystal for system and radio clocking (with internal load capacitors), and a 32.768 kHz tuning-fork crystal for RTC and BLE link-layer timing. Both are mandatory for BLE 5.0 compliance, low-power timer accuracy, and guaranteed radio performance across temperature and voltage ranges.
How many simultaneous BLE connections does OM15080-QN9090 support?
OM15080-QN9090 supports up to eight simultaneous Bluetooth Low Energy connections in peripheral, central, or dual-role configurations. This is implemented in hardware-assisted link-layer firmware and confirmed in NXP's QN9090 product data sheet Rev. 1.2, enabling scalable mesh node or multi-sensor hub designs without external connection managers.
What debug interface does OM15080-QN9090 use, and what features does it support?
OM15080-QN9090 uses Serial Wire Debug (SWD) via pins PIO12/SWCLK and PIO13/SWDIO. It supports full-core debugging including 8 hardware breakpoints, 4 watchpoints, Serial Wire Output (SWO) trace, and non-intrusive real-time register/memory inspection - all accessible through standard ARM-compliant debug probes like J-Link or CMSIS-DAP adapters.
