What is the purpose of that? Is this suppose to be some sort of pull up/down for the SDA/SCL?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Reference design for nRF52 (smaller footprint PCB ant or chip)?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/69785?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2016 12:56:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:86c2f598-a26f-40f9-a8e6-7ea2982947aa</guid><dc:creator>bjorn-spockeli</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Happy to help :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Reference design for nRF52 (smaller footprint PCB ant or chip)?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/69784?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2016 12:53:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:737aa4ea-bbd0-44db-a276-4f1d4c7ebbcc</guid><dc:creator>Shay Ohayon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Bjorn.

&lt;p&gt;My suggestion would be to base your design on the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52/dita/nrf52/app_example/solar_beacon/introduction.html?cp=2_6_0"&gt;nRF52 Solar Powered Sensor Beacon&lt;/a&gt;, you can find the hardware files(i.e. gerbers, BOM and schematics) &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/Solar_beacon_HW_v1.0.zip"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bjørn&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
