Called nRF54LM20B, it is aimed at battery-powered local AI processing with no need for a cloud connection.
It is also the company’s first large memory nRF54L processor to get the Axon NPU, acquired when Nordic bought Atlazo in 2023.
Alongside the NPU are a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33, 128NHz RISC-V coprocessor, 2.4GHz radio, USB interface and up to 66 GPIOs.
The radio supports Bluetooth LE, Bluetooth Channel Sounding and Matter-over-Thread.
To go with the neural processor, the company is releasing small – typically under 5kbyte – AI models branded ‘Neuton’ and “Nordic Edge AI Lab helps developers generate custom Neuton models for anomaly detection, activity and gesture recognition, and biometric monitoring”, said Nordic.
The IC is sampling now, with wider availability expected in Q2 this year.

nRF54LM20A is a similar chip without the Axon NPU.
