nRF52 Custom PCB

[DrAgosits]

Dear Nordic Team,

i need to develop an nRF52 beacon custom pcb.

Do you have any tipps or better altium files for creating a low-power electronic board, powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery and a mpu6050 acceleration sensor on it? Therefore also a pcb antenna is needed.

Sorry i am a beginner on pcb development.

Best regards,

Dr

Hello!

(I am not from Nordic)

You can checkout the following links for the nrf52:

- https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nrf52-dk/download#infotabs nRF52-DK Hardware files. There is also a pcb antenna
- https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF52832/Download#infotabs Reference layout
- https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fps_nrf52833%2Fref_circuitry.html&anchor=concept_hqh_j22_fq for reference circuitry

For the antenna:

-  General PCB design guidelines for nRF52 series 
- https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nwp_008.pdf

For the MPU6050, I do not know an example, however you can check out how it was done in some online projects like https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-MPU6050-PCB

These are good resources for starting a custom PCB design.

The only thing I want to add is that we do hardware reviews. When you have your design ready you can create a private ticket and share the design files with us, and one of our HW engineers will give feedback regarding the schematic and layout.

 

Best regards,
