2. Codes Development Using Nordic Tools
Development tools by Nordic and other third party development tools recommended by Nordic should be
used .
Easy, fast and safe code development
Nordic development environment for nRF52840 offers a clean separation between application code
development and embedded protocol stacks. This means compile, link and run time dependencies with the
embedded stack and associated debugging challenges are removed. The Bluetooth low energy and ANT stack
is a pre-compiled binary, leaving application code to be compiled stand-alone. The embedded stack interface
uses an asynchronous and event driven model removing the need for RTOS frameworks.
Over-The-Air DFU
The nRF52840 is supported by an Over-The-Air Device Firmware Upgrade (OTA DFU) feature. This allows for
in the field updates of application software and SoftDevice.
SoftDevices
The Nordic protocol stacks are known as SoftDevices and complement the nRF52 Series SoCs. All nRF52
Series are programmable with software stacks from Nordic. This bring maximum flexibility to application
development and allows the latest stack version to be programmed into the SoC.
SoftDevices available from Nordic:
S140: Bluetooth low energy concurrent central/peripheral/observer/broadcaster stack.
BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018
Development Tools
Nordic Semiconductor provides a complete range of hardware and software development tools for the
nRF52 Series devices. nRF52 DK board is recommended for firmware development.
Nordic software development tools can be downloaded from the following webpage.

Block Diagram of nRF52840
BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018
The following is a block diagram of Nordic nRF52840 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) SoC. Arrows with white
heads indicate signals that share physical pins with other signals.
The 32 bit ARM Cortex M4F MCU with hardware supports for DSP instructions and floating point operations,
code density and execution speed are higher than other Cortex M MCU. The Programmable Peripheral
Interconnect (PPI) system provides a 20-channel bus for direct and autonomous system peripheral
communication without CPU intervention. This brings predictable latency times for peripheral to peripheral
interaction and power saving benefits associated with leaving CPU idle. The device has 2 global power modes
BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018
ON/OFF, but all system blocks and peripherals have individual power management control which allows for an
automatic switching RUN/IDLE for system blocks based only on those required/not required to achieve
particular tasks.
The radio supports Bluetooth low energy and ANT. Output power is scalable from a maximum of +8dBm down
to -20 dBm in 4dB steps. Sensitivity is increased to -96 dBm to -89 dBm, depending on data rate. Sensitivity for
BLE is -96 dBm, and -92.5 dBm for ANT.
The NFC block supports NFC-A tags with proximity detection and Wake-on-field from low power mode. The
NFC enables Out-Of-Band (OOB) Bluetooth pairing of devices and thus greatly simplifying deployment.
ARM Trustzone CryptoCell 310
ARM® TrustZone® CryptoCell-310co-processor is a security subsystem which provides Root of Trust (RoT) and
cryptographic services for a device. CryptoCell services are available to the application through a software library API, not
a hardware register interface.
The following cryptographic features are provided.

Suggestion for Battery Power Application
Standby current consumption is important for battery-powered product. We suggest adding a 32.768 kHz
crystal and 2 capacitors on host board. The 32MHz main clock won’t be active at idle state to save power.
Two inductors required for on-board DC to DC converter are inside BC840 and BC840M. You can enable
DCDC converter to have lower power consumption.

Soldering Temperature-Time Profile for Re-Flow Soldering
Maximum number of cycles for re-flow is 2. No opposite side re-flow is allowed due to module weight.
Cautions, Design Notes, and Installation Notes
Failure to follow the guidelines set forth in this document may result in degrading of the
product’sfunctions and damage to the product.
Design Notes
(1) Follow the conditions written in this specification, especially the control signals of this module.
(2) The supply voltage has to be free of AC ripple voltage (for example from a battery or a low noise
regulator output). For noisy supply voltages, provide a decoupling circuit (for example a ferrite in
series connection and a bypass capacitor to ground of at least 47uF directly at the module).
(3) This product should not be mechanically stressed when installed.
(4) Keep this product away from heat. Heat is the major cause of decreasing the life of these
products.
(5) Avoid assembly and use of the target equipment in conditions where the products' temperature
may exceed the maximum tolerance.
(6) The supply voltage should not be exceedingly high or reversed. It should not carry noise and/or
spikes.
(7) this product away from other high frequency circuits.
Notes on Antenna and PCB Layout
(1) Don’t use a module with internal antenna inside a metal case.
23
BC840/M/E, Compact BLE 5, Thread, Zigbee ModulesVer 0.30 Dec. 2018
(2) For PCB layout:
•
•
•
Avoid running any signal line below module whenever possible,
No ground plane below antenna,
If possible, cut-off the portion of main board PCB below antenna.
Installation Notes
(1) Reflow soldering is possible twice based on the time-temperature profile in this data sheets. Set up
the temperature at the soldering portion of this product according to this reflow profile.
(2) Carefully position the products so that their heat will not burn into printed circuit boards or affect
the other components that are susceptible to heat.
(3) Carefully locate these products so that their temperatures will not increase due to the effects of
heat generated by neighboring components.
(4) If a vinyl-covered wire comes into contact with the products, then the cover will melt and generate
toxic gas, damaging the insulation. Never allow contact between the cover and these products to
occur.
(5) This product should not be mechanically stressed or vibrated when reflowed.
(6) If you want to repair your board by hand soldering, please keep the conditions of this chapter.
(7) Do not wash this product.
(8) Refer to the recommended pattern when designing a board.
(9) Pressing on parts of the metal cover or fastening objects to the metal will cause damage to the
unit.
(10)
For more details on LGA (Land Grid Array) soldering processes refer to the application note.
Usage Condition Notes
(1)Take measures to protect the unit against static electricity. If pulses or other transient loads (a
large load applied in a short time) are applied to the products, check and evaluate their operation
before assembly on the final products.
(2)Do not use dropped products.
(3)Do not touch, damage or soil the pins.
(4) Follow the recommended condition ratings about the power supply applied to this product.
(5)Electrode peeling strength: Do not add pressure of more than 4.9N when soldered on PCB
(6) Pressing on parts of the metal cover or fastening objects to the metal cover will cause damage.
(7) These products are intended for general purpose and standard use in general electronic
equipment, such as home appliances, office equipment, information and communication
