[quote user="G gautam"]so i can connect only five instance at time right?[/quote]

No, Each peripheral have different amount of instances. You should look at the block diagram of peripheral in the application core where you can see that SPIM have 5 instances but other serial peripherals have only 4 instances.

So you should be able to use only 4 instances at a time except that SPIM have the fifth instance.

[quote user="G gautam"]2. If your ans of first question is YES then can i implement with BLE ?[/quote]

Not sure what you mean here, but BLE protocol stack does not use any serial peripherals, so you can use combination of these serial devices along with BLE feature.

[quote user="G gautam"]3. Can i use 2 sensors with same i2c instance? If yes please provide me example for that.[/quote]

That is how I2C/TWI work by specification. You can connect as many slaves as possible to the same SDA/SCL lines and since each slave can be addressed with a unique address bits, I2C/TWI master can communicate to any slave using it unique address but still using the same two pins.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer,

so i can connect only five instance at time right?

and what about the those que?

2. If your ans of first question is YES then can i implement with BLE ?

3. Can i use 2 sensors with same i2c instance? If yes please provide me example for that.

Hello

These peripherals are available (among others) on the NRF5340

However, several of the peripherals share the same ID and only one from those could be used at a time.

SPIM0, SPIS0, TWIM0, TWIS0, UARTE0 share the same ID # 8, and hence only one could be used,

Similarly for other peripherals that share the ID, please go through the product specificaiton (e.g pg 110 and chapter for peripherals): nRF5340 (nordicsemi.com)
