Hello,

[quote user=""]) Has anyone used 0402's successfully with the nRF54L15? What issues did you come across? How did you solve them?[/quote]

It can be done but the values will be different and performance can also differ a bit. So I would highly recommend that the radio is properly tested with the new components size and the accompanying layout.

[quote user=""]3) Has Nordic released a design that uses 0402s with the nRF54Lxx series?[/quote]

No we have not.

[quote user=""]4) If anyone has tried and tested 0402 part numbers for the nRF54Lxx series that they can share, it would be much appreciated![/quote]

I will see if I can dig up something from our testing but even with a list here I would not say that it would be a good to go setup and will still recommend that proper testing is done to make sure that the radio work as expected with the new match.

[quote user=""]5) Apart from the usual, any other specific PCB layout considerations to keep in mind?[/quote]

The PCBA stackup is important, we only recommend 4 layers and try to copy the layout as best as possible.

When ever you have something ready feel free to create a review request here on DevZone and we will help out with both the schematic and layout.

Jonathan
