RE: RF Core NRF52832 vs NRF52810

Hi Nir,

There might be minor changes/improvements to the RADIO peripheral between the nRF52832 and nRF52810 as well as other changes. The nRF52810 and nRF52832 are not identical in terms of silicon.

So I think you will have certify both designs separately.

Best regards

Can you advise what is very similar ? in order to use same FCC ID i need to have identical RF structure..

[quote user=""]1. Does this 2 components are sharing same RF Core?[/quote]

The Radio on the nRF52832 and the NRF52810 are very similar.

[quote user=""]2. Do I need different sig registration ? [/quote]

If you use the same IC for multiple similar designs, then it is possible re-use the same listing, like this https://launchstudio.bluetooth.com/ListingDetails/89624. Here multiple models of the end product are listed in the same declaration.

However, I do not think you are allowed to refer to more than one End Product QDID in a single listing. I tried doing this in Bluetooth Launch Studio and I got this error message

When referencing more than 1 Qualified Designs, only the following are supported: 1 End Product + 1 or more Profile Subsystems; 1 Controller Subsystem + 1 Host Subsystem + 0 or more Profile Subsystems.

So you might have to refer to the tested components used in the End Product QDID instead 94115 (Component (Tested)) ,94418 (Component (Tested)) ,102543 (Component (Tested))

[quote user=""]3. Do I need different BQB report ?[/quote]

We provide End Product QDIDs for both the nRF52810 and nRF52832, so you do not need to go through the qualification process.

However, we recommend that customers perform a Bluetooth RF-PHY when performing CE,FCC or ISED certification of the End Product so that you can prove compliance.

[quote user=""]4. Can I use same FCC ID ( if answer for 1 is yes i assume no issue here)?[/quote]

As the ICs are not identical I think you will have to perform FCC certification for each of the designs, i.e. one FCC certification for the design with the nRF52832 and one with the nRF52810.

I suggest that you ask the testing facility where you plan to do the FCC testing about the Question 2 and 4.

Best regards
