The data sheet says it has built in balun. So if I follow the reference circuit, where do I see 50 ohm looking int to the chip, right at pin ANT or after the pi network C3-L1-C4?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:39:02 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/124369/nrf52840-balun" /><item><title>RE: nRF52840 balun</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/548773?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:39:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6f5b17cc-a76b-4ad0-99b3-7daf94f5aa62</guid><dc:creator>mathiaso</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 50-ohm reference point would be after the matching network. This is referred to as &amp;quot;point B&amp;quot; under &amp;quot;RF path&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Matching the radio to 50 ohms&amp;quot; in &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/guides/hardware-design-test-and-measuring/b/nrf5x/posts/general-pcb-design-guidelines-for-nrf52-series"&gt;this guide&lt;/a&gt;. The example from the nRF52840 with the four-component matching network found in &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf52840/page/ref_circuitry.html#ariaid-title8"&gt;circuit config. no. 7&lt;/a&gt; is found below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1757947004883v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
