 I am working in a design that includes an nRF52840 as main processor. 
 I need to know if it is possible to have the following peripherals implemented concurrently: 
 - SPI Master 
 - QSPI Master (for flash mem to be used</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 06 Feb 2020 13:07:34 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/57452/simultaneous-implementation-of-buses-and-uarts" /><item><title>RE: Simultaneous Implementation of buses and UARTS</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/233058?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Feb 2020 13:07:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4935b6db-079a-45fb-bb87-37966d69aea9</guid><dc:creator>Andreas</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes you should try to avoid the &amp;#39;low drive, low frequency&amp;#39; ones to avoid affecting the RX sensitivity if there is traffic during RX. Other than that any GPIO can be used, see the &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/pin.html?cp=4_0_0_6_0"&gt;pin assignments&lt;/a&gt; for the default pins.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any pin recommended for QSPI?. Or as stated in other posts pick pins away from radio circutry&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Simultaneous Implementation of buses and UARTS</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/232923?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Feb 2020 19:47:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4d757803-7f5a-4c13-8e83-57facaaaa805</guid><dc:creator>Turbo J</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="86495" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/57452/simultaneous-implementation-of-buses-and-uarts"]peripherals implemented concurrently[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;I see no problems here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="86495" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/57452/simultaneous-implementation-of-buses-and-uarts"]Is it possible to share pins between the SPI and QSPI [/quote]
&lt;p&gt;You really don&amp;#39;t want to do that - QSPI and SPI are different peripherials on the chip, sharing would require tedious pin re-assignments. The NRF52840 has more than enough pins for separate busses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
