Review_4Jan.zip Hello All,

Please review the attached revised schematic and give your valuable feedback.

Please find below queries:


In case you want to know the distance of some component, then I have set the layout grid  to 1mm (white dots). This can be reference for review as well to check how far or close the component is placed.
I have added copper ground layer on top and bottom. This PCB is divided into two ground parts. One is for power supply ground and other is RF and Digital ground. Both are connected at single point as shown in image Top Copper Top Silk Screen.jpg.
There is no copper layer on bottom and top side of Antenna.
IAF antenna dimensions are considered from attached reference pdf only. Please provide the correction if any especially track length from IC to LC filter and up to IAF antenna.
Attachment is password protected. password: DTA_BHS_V1.1
In schematic Programming connector is there. RESET pin is used only for  programing purpose. In case programmer is not present this will be floating. So please check and correct.
Can we keep floating unused pins?

Please kindly do let’s know if you need any details in regarding this, Looking forward to hear you soon.

Thanks in advance

  • Hello pktron

    I will assume you have used the component values as stated in the nRF52810 product specification, section 7.3.1 page 469.

    Do note that capacitor C26, in the matching network, should be connected to Vss in the layout, with a trace that is as short as possible.

    Also do note that all components in the reference schematic, with the exception of capacitors C9 and C10 and crystals, are in 0402 packages.

    For reference layout see section 7.3.6, pages 474 and 475, of the product specification. The hardware reference files can be downloaded here.

    It is recommended you follow the reference schematics and layout faithfully for optimal performance.

    Best regards
