nRF52840 Microvias

[Bryant Elliott]

Is there an example layout using the nRF52840 that does not use microvias and via-in-pad technology?  My application is high volume, and I am trying to keep PCB costs low.

Hi

Due to the Easter holiday we are understaffed and you will have to expect delayed replies. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Microvias with via-in-pads are required to avoid breaking up the grounding too much, as the radio is dependent on a good ground plane. So you should not try to cut corners here as it will severly affect the radio's performance.

Best regards and happy Easter,

Simon
