https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/98014/nrf5340-pcb-layout---do-i-need-c19-n-cI am using a nRF5340 in my design and need to save as much space as possible. Can i remove C19 since it is NC? What is the purpose of the place holder? Is this for harmonics/filter?

So this might be need during tuning of the filter/matching network. So I recommend you to keep the footprint.</p> <p>Kind Regards,</p> <p>Abhijith</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
