nRF52840 connection with power souce/battery

[Gagan Gopal]

Hello,

I was looking into the nRF5280 and was going to purchase it. But I had some questions that were not cleared up in the data sheets. It seems that a battery or a power source is not included in the nRF5280. I was wondering how I could connect a battery to the Bluetooth module (ISP1807) such as a single coin cell like 2032 as you mentioned. Is there a circuit diagram that depicts how to connect the ISP1807 to the battery?

The nRF52840 is just a chip, so of course it doesn't have a power source, you need to add all the external components required, including power, to use it, there are example circuits in the documentation. Then you talk about ISP1807 which is a module which contains the nRF52840 plus some external components like antenna and crystals, and of course that doesn't have a power supply either. However Insight (who make the ISP1807) have a development kit which you can use to develop your own circuits and they have schematics and gerbers showing how that development board is designed. Not sure what else you're looking for here.

Thank you for answering my questions. Oh okay, I see. I could not find any example circuits in the documentation that included power. Oh okay is it possible to make a circuit that connects a power source or battery such as a lithium coin cell to the ISP1807?

what is the VDDH and VDD

They are described in the Product Specification of the nRF52840

Does the supply refer to the battery?

Can someone please answer this question?

The chip neither knows nor case what is the source of the power.

The Product Specification gives the requirements of the supply

How can I connect a battery to the nRF5280 or a bluethooth module? I can not find this in the product specifications.

Again, the Product Specification tells you what the chip requires.

It is up to you to design a suitable means to satisfy those requirements.

If you are not able to do this design, then you need to hire someone who can.

Or purchase a ready-made product; eg, https://shop.ruuvi.com/product/ruuvitag-1-pack/
