RE: nRF52833 chips are consistently becoming bricked and un-programmable via SWD

Hi Aidan

No, this doesn't have anything to have with the DC input to do. But on the DCC pin, there are two inductors and an additional decoupling capacitor that can be connected to use the internal DCDC regulator instead of the LDO regulator (that does not require any external component). However, an application where the DCDC regulator is enabled in code running on HW without these components can unfortunately put the device in an undefined state that brick the device.

If you'd like we can do a HW review of your schematics and PCB layout files, but I'd recommend opening a private DevZone ticket for that so it is handled with confidentiality and only Nordic engineers and yourself are able to view its contents.

Best regards,

Simon

Just to confirm, when you say the board is "only an nRF52833", can you confirm that you've also included the required components from the reference circuitry. If the decoupling capacitors and 32MHz crystal I.E. aren't connected to the nRF52833, it's not expected to work as intended. You might be able to flash it, but whatever is flashed onto it won't work as expected.

If you have the required components, another thing causing something like this could be if you don't have the DCDC components on your hardware, but the software enables the DCDC regulator. That will also result with a bricked nRF52 I'm afraid.

Best regards,

Simon
