Product details
Overview
QN9080SIP-DK from NXP Semiconductors is a fully certified Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC-enabled System-in-Package (SIP) module integrating QN9080 SoC and NT3H2211 NFC IC. It features an Arm Cortex-M4F core at 32 MHz, 512 KB flash, 128 KB SRAM, integrated 32 MHz and 32.768 kHz crystals, and a monolithic 2.4 GHz antenna - delivering ultra-low-power wireless connectivity for compact portable devices such as fitness trackers and medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the QN9080SIP-DK datasheet, QN9080SIP-DK pinout, QN9080SIP-DK application, or QN9080SIP-DK equivalent, key selection criteria include BLE 5.0 certification with -92.7 dBm RX sensitivity, integrated NFC Type 2 Tag functionality via I²C, power-down current as low as 1 µA, and LFLGA54 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The QN9080SIP-DK implements a dual-die architecture: the QN9080 die provides a full Bluetooth 5.0 stack with central/peripheral concurrency, 16 simultaneous links, secure connections, and data length extension, while the NT3H2211 die delivers ISO/IEC 14443-2/3-compliant NFC Forum Type 2 Tag functionality with 1912 bytes EEPROM, I²C interface, and field-detection output.
Its RF subsystem includes a single-ended RF port with integrated balun, programmable TX output from -20 dBm to +2 dBm, and hardware-accelerated Fusion Signal Processor (FSP) offloading sensor fusion math to reduce MCU load and power consumption - enabling continuous low-power operation in wearable and battery-powered edge nodes.

Pinout & Package
The QN9080SIP-DK uses a 54-pin LFLGA package (6 × 9.7 × 1.17 mm) with exposed ground pads (pins 45–47, 51–54) and dedicated RF/NFC terminals including ANT_IN (pin 23), RF_OUT (pin 24), LA/LB (pins 7/6), NTAG_FD (pin 37), and NTAG_VCC (pin 39).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ANT_IN (23) | Internal antenna input | Direct connection point to monolithic 2.4 GHz antenna; no external matching required for certified operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Bluetooth 5.0 + NFC SIP applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA14531MOD-00F02002 | Single-die BLE 5.1 SoC (no integrated NFC); requires external NTAG IC and antenna matching; smaller 2.0 × 2.3 mm QFN. | Lacks native NFC Type 2 Tag compliance; needs additional BOM and layout area for NFC circuitry and antenna tuning. | Select when NFC is optional or when footprint minimization outweighs certification simplicity. |
| BLUENRG-M2SP | BLE 5.0 SIP with embedded STM32 MCU and 256 KB flash; no NFC; uses external 32 MHz crystal; 5.5 × 6.5 mm QFN. | No integrated NFC controller or EEPROM; lacks FSP acceleration and energy harvesting capability. | Select for cost-sensitive BLE-only designs where NFC provisioning is handled externally via smartphone camera or companion chip. |
Compared with DA14531MOD-00F02002 and BLUENRG-M2SP, QN9080SIP-DK uniquely combines certified BLE 5.0, NFC Forum Type 2 Tag, and FSP-based sensor fusion in one module - reducing system BOM count by 12+ components and eliminating RF/NFC antenna certification effort.

FAQ
What certifications does the QN9080SIP-DK hold?
QN9080SIP-DK holds full modular certifications: FCC ID XXMQN9080M17, IC ID 8764A-QN9080M17, CE RED, and Japan MIC. These cover the integrated 2.4 GHz antenna and internal NFC circuitry - eliminating need for end-product RF retesting when used per datasheet layout guidelines. Certification documentation is available upon request from NXP.
Does QN9080SIP-DK support external antenna connection?
Yes, QN9080SIP-DK supports external antenna via RF_OUT (pin 24) and ANT_SW control signals (pins 14/26/32). However, using an external antenna voids the pre-certification - new FCC/CE testing is required. The internal monolithic antenna is optimized for 2.4 GHz and validated for modular approval.
How does the NT3H2211 NFC interface operate with QN9080SIP-DK?
QN9080SIP-DK integrates NT3H2211 as an I²C slave (SCL/SDA on pins 39/38) with dedicated NTAG_FD (pin 37) for field detection. The QN9080 MCU accesses NT3H2211's 1912-byte EEPROM and 64-byte SRAM buffer, enabling tap-to-pair, firmware updates, or secure authentication without host processor involvement.
What is the lowest achievable power state of QN9080SIP-DK?
QN9080SIP-DK achieves 1 µA power-down mode with GPIO wake-up capability, and 2.5 µA power-down mode supporting wake-up from RTC, 32.768 kHz sleep timer, or GPIO. These states retain register context and SRAM content, enabling sub-100 µs wake-up latency - critical for duty-cycled sensor applications.
Can QN9080SIP-DK run BLE and NFC simultaneously?
Yes, QN9080SIP-DK supports concurrent BLE advertising and NFC polling via hardware arbitration between QN9080 and NT3H2211. The NTAG_FD pin signals NFC field presence to the MCU, allowing coordinated resource allocation - e.g., pausing BLE transmissions during NFC read/write to avoid interference.
