can't connect jlink to nRF52840

[sean]

Hi

We can't connect jlink to nRF52840,then we check the voltage of DEC pins, Is this correct?

And what's the function of DEC pins(DEC1\DEC2\DEC5)? The datasheet description is not very detailed.

Hello, 
 

We can't connect jlink to nRF52840

How are you connecting jlink? Have you verified that all pins are connected?

then we check the voltage of DEC pins, Is this correct?

 No, you should check the VDD pin to see if you have the correct voltage.

And what's the function of DEC pins(DEC1\DEC2\DEC5)? The datasheet description is not very detailed.

 The DEC pins are just decoupling pins as described in the pin assignments. You can read more about the decoupling on the nRF52840 in this whitepaper: nWP030 - Power supply decoupling capacitor selection

Kind regards,
Øyvind

As Øyvind says, how are you trying to connect it?

And what "J-Link", exactly, are you using?

We found out it was a SMT problem, thank you!

Thanks for feeding back.
