Product details
Overview
QN9030HN/001Y from NXP Semiconductors is an Arm® Cortex®-M4 based Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 wireless microcontroller with 320 KB embedded Flash, 88 KB SRAM, integrated 2.4 GHz BLE 5.0 transceiver (−97 dBm sensitivity, +11 dBm max TX power), and ultra-low deep-power-down current of 350 nA - enabling multi-year coin-cell operation in wearable health monitors and wireless occupancy sensors.
For engineers reviewing the QN9030HN/001Y datasheet, QN9030HN/001Y pinout, QN9030HN/001Y application, or QN9030HN/001Y equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions for HVQFN40, confirmed BLE 5.0 radio performance metrics, and real-world design implications for battery-constrained IoT endpoints.
Technical Context
The QN9030HN/001Y implements a single-die BLE 5.0 SoC architecture integrating the Arm Cortex-M4 CPU (up to 48 MHz), BLE link layer hardware accelerator, and RF transceiver with integrated balun and antenna diversity control. It supports 2 Mbps PHY, eight simultaneous connections, and OTA firmware updates via its 320 KB Flash.
Its low-power subsystem includes dedicated 32 kHz XTAL-clocked timers for BLE timing maintenance during power-down, voltage brown-out detection with eight thresholds, and a DMIC subsystem with dual-channel PDM microphone interface and hardware voice activity detector - all operating under 1.9–3.6 V supply.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M4 @ up to 48 MHz - enables real-time BLE stack execution and sensor fusion without external processor. |
| Memory | 320 KB Flash / 88 KB SRAM - sufficient for BLE 5.0 host stack, application logic, and OTA update staging. |
| BLE Radio | Bluetooth 5.0 compliant, −97 dBm RX sensitivity, +11 dBm TX power - ensures robust 10+ meter range in noisy 2.4 GHz environments. |

Pinout & Package
HVQFN40 package (6 × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), lead-free and RoHS compliant, with exposed die pad connected to RF ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| XTAL_P / XTAL_N | 32 MHz system crystal oscillator inputs | Drive internal PLL for CPU and radio clocks; require external 32 MHz crystal with load capacitance matching. |
| XTAL_32K_P / XTAL_32K_N | 32.768 kHz RTC crystal inputs | Provide precise timing reference for low-power sleep modes and BLE advertising interval accuracy. |
| RF_IO | RF antenna interface | Single-pin 50 Ω RF port connecting directly to PCB antenna or matching network; integrates balun. |
| VDD(RADIO) / VSS(RF) | Radio supply and RF ground | Must be isolated from digital supply domains; requires dedicated LDO and local decoupling for EMI suppression. |
| PIO0–PIO21 | Configurable GPIOs (22 total) | Support multiple alternate functions including USART, SPI, I²C, PWM, ADC inputs, and BLE antenna diversity control (ADE/ADO). |
| RSTN | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset pin requiring external pull-up; initiates full device initialization sequence on deassertion. |
| VBAT / VDD(PMU) / VDDE | Power domain supplies | Separate rails for DCDC input (VBAT), PMU core (VDD(PMU)), and I/O bank (VDDE) - enable independent voltage scaling and noise isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated BLE 5.0 Transceiver | Eliminates external RF front-end; supports 2 Mbps high-speed mode and improved WiFi coexistence via antenna diversity control. |
| Dual-Channel PDM Microphone Interface | Hardware voice activity detection reduces average current by disabling audio processing during silence - critical for always-on voice sensors. |
| Deep-Power-Down Mode (350 nA) | Enables wake-up via GPIO or low-power timer only - preserves battery life in motion-triggered occupancy sensors with <1% duty cycle. |
| OTA Firmware Update Support | Uses protected Flash sectors and dual-bank boot loader to ensure atomic, fail-safe updates over BLE without bricking the device. |
| Hardware Security Accelerators | AES-128/256 and SHA-256 engines offload crypto operations from CPU - reduce latency for encrypted GATT writes and secure boot verification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Bluetooth Low Energy wireless MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| QN9030THN | Identical core specs but adds integrated NTAG I²C NFC Forum Type 2 tag; uses same HVQFN40 package with LA/LB pins enabled. | Required when NFC tap-to-pair, firmware provisioning, or secure credential storage is needed alongside BLE. | Select QN9030THN if NFC functionality is mandatory; QN9030HN/001Y is optimal for pure BLE cost-sensitive designs. |
| nRF52833 DK | ARM Cortex-M4 @ 64 MHz, 512 KB Flash/128 KB RAM, -95 dBm RX sensitivity, no integrated NFC or ISO7816 interface. | Better suited for higher-throughput applications like audio streaming; lacks hardware voice activity detection and dedicated BLE timing timers. | Choose nRF52833 DK for complex mesh networks or USB-C connectivity; QN9030HN/001Y excels in ultra-low-power, sensor-rich, NFC-optional edge nodes. |
Compared with QN9030THN, QN9030HN/001Y removes NFC hardware to reduce BOM cost and power overhead, while retaining identical BLE radio performance and memory configuration; versus nRF52833 DK, it trades raw CPU speed for deeper power optimization and integrated analog subsystems tailored for medical-grade sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum transmit power and corresponding current draw for QN9030HN/001Y?
QN9030HN/001Y supports configurable transmit power up to +11 dBm with a current draw of 20.3 mA. At lower output levels - +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 3.3 V supply and represent typical conditions per the official NXP datasheet Rev. 1.2.
Does QN9030HN/001Y include NFC functionality?
No, QN9030HN/001Y does not include NFC functionality. The NFC tag (NTAG I²C) is present only in the QN9030THN variant. QN9030HN/001Y shares identical BLE, MCU, and peripheral specifications but omits the NTAG block and associated LA/LB antenna pins, making it suitable for cost-sensitive BLE-only applications.
What package type and pin count does QN9030HN/001Y use?
QN9030HN/001Y uses the HVQFN40 package: a 6 × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced quad flat no-lead package with 40 terminals and an exposed die pad. This package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for compact, high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained IoT devices.
Can QN9030HN/001Y operate from a single coin cell battery?
Yes, QN9030HN/001Y operates across 1.9 V to 3.6 V and achieves 350 nA deep-power-down current with IO wake-up - enabling multi-year operation on standard CR2032 batteries in intermittently active applications like occupancy sensors or periodic health monitors.
What debug interface does QN9030HN/001Y support?
QN9030HN/001Y supports Serial Wire Debug (SWD) via dedicated PIO12/SWCLK and PIO13/SWDIO pins, with 8 breakpoints and 4 watchpoints. It also provides Serial Wire Output (SWO) on PIO14/ADC0 for real-time trace streaming, enabling efficient firmware development and low-level BLE protocol analysis.
