nRF9160 Datasheets

[KDC]

hello dear,

Please provide the nRF9160 IC  Datasheets with Hardware development user guide.

regards,

Kunal Chaudhari

Hi, 

Please visit Nordic Semiconductor Infocenter/nRF9160 to access the documents.

[KDC]

but dear in these document can't be mentioned pin descriptions. please provide  the datasheets with pin descriptions

[MJD093]

Several pin assignments are also stated on the silkscreen on the rear side of the nRF9160 DK.

What are you talking about? Going to the exact link that Amanda provided and opening the Product Specification, Hardware and Layout and then Pin Descriptions entries gives you a table with every pin in it. If you're not sure what one is, read the rest of the product spec which covers peripherals in detail. And look at the schematic for the dev board which gives you a reference.

KDC And, if you still have a specific doubt or query, then ask a specific question!

We can't guess what you want to know from such vague questions.

thanks. I got the datasheets.

[KDC]

I want to make a development board on nRF9160. so please suggest me some designing schematic of the respective device.

What do you mean by that?

Normally, a "Development Board" is a thing provided to developers in order for them to gain familiarity with the product, tools, etc.

Nordic have such a Development Board for the nRF9160:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/?sc_itemid=%7B85BE3024-A887-4410-8F78-E71CD60B3A5E%7D

Before you think about designing your own board, you need to spend some time with that board to get familiar with the chip, the tools, etc.

hello dear,

As per the suggestion, We have to check the datasheet.

In datasheets mentioned 4 x UART and 4x I2C and 4 x SPI.

So, how to find out UART, I2C and SPI pinout.?

Please send the hardware design guidelines details only nRF9160 IC.

Not very carefully, it seems:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf9160/uarte.html?cp=2_0_0_5_18_7#concept_wmv_f2m_wr

Again, have you looked at the Dev Kit schematics?

[MJD093]

I'll go one step further.

From the document section linked by awneil

"The GPIOs used for each UART interface can be chosen from any GPIO on the device and are independently configurable. This enables great flexibility in device pinout and efficient use of board space and signal routing."

Please read the Datasheet sections for the UART, I2C (TWIM) and SPI (SPIM) again carefully, there's a lot of stuff there to help get you off the ground in your development. I can already see the answer to your questions in the first parts of each section.
