Previously Certified Devices:

XIAO nRF52840 MCU

XIAO nRF52840 Module the first ever Seeed product to support Amazon Sidewalk natively in early August 2023. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 chip, featuring an FPU and operating at speeds of up to 64 MHz. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 and boasts ultra-low power consumption, drawing as little as 5 μA in deep sleep mode. Additionally, it incorporates lithium battery charge management. Despite its compact form factor of 21 x 17.5mm, the XIAO nRF52840 Module offers advanced functionality with an onboard digital microphone and a 6-axis IMU.

As an Amazon Sidewalk-supported module, the XIAO nRF52840 extends device range from home to community, automatically connecting to the Sidewalk network. This opens up opportunities for diverse IoT use cases, including pet and asset trackers, home appliances, health monitoring wearables, and predictive maintenance solutions.
