Reference circuitry

To ensure good RF performance when designing PCBs, it is highly recommended to use the PCB layouts and component values provided by Nordic Semiconductor.

Documentation for the different package reference circuits, including Altium Designer files, PCB layout files, and PCB production files can be downloaded from www.nordicsemi.com.

In this section, there are reference circuits for QKAA aQFN™94, CLAA WLCSP, and CMAA WLCSP, showing the components and component values to support on-chip features in a design.

Some general guidance is summarized here:

External supply from VDD is only available when power is supplied to VDDH.
When supplying power from a USB source only, VBUS pin must be connected to VDDH pin if USB is to be used.
Components required for DC/DC function are only needed if DC/DC mode is enabled for that regulator.
NFC can be used in any configuration.
USB can be used in any configuration as long as VBUS is supplied by the USB host.
The schematics include an optional, but recommended, series resistor on the USB supply for improved immunity to transient over-voltage during VBUS connection.

PCB layout example

The PCB layout in the following figure is a reference layout for Circuit configuration no. 1 for QKAA aQFN™94.

Note: Pay attention to how the capacitor C1 is grounded. It is not directly connected to the ground plane, but grounded via pin J31 and to the VSS die pad. This is done to create additional filtering of harmonic components.

For all available reference layouts, see the product page for nRF5340 on www.nordicsemi.com.
