NRF51822 Custom Board Revision

[joseph]

Hello,

I recently finished up the NRF51822 pcb board that I plan on getting printed. I posted my board before and have fixed the problems another user specified.

I used the reference design file provided by Nordic (NRF51x22_qfax) but added the following things:

• Meander Antenna taken from NRF51-Dongle with a bit more length added for adjustment
• Shunt Capacitor for the Meander Antenna
• Through-holes connected to most of the I/O pinouts from the chip for breakout
• Through-holes for power in (1.8V & GND)
• Increase in GND plate size with vias to match

I am rather new at working with the NRF51 series as well as PCB design. Any advice would be great help.

Thanks!

You should summit a support ticket with your files at www.nordicsemi.com/.../mypage, and ask Nordic to do a design review and list the things you added. I did that last year, and got very good help and feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely be checking that out.
