Overview

The nRF52-DK is a versatile single-board development kit for Bluetooth Low Energy, ANT, and 2.4 GHz proprietary applications using the nRF52832 and nRF52810 SoCs. It features an on-board Segger J-Link debugger and is hardware compatible with the Arduino Uno Revision 3 standard for easy shield expansion.

Why Choose This Part

The board integrates a Segger J-Link OB debugger, providing full programming and debugging capabilities without requiring external hardware. It supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.7V to 3.6V and includes dedicated connectors for RF measurements and power consumption monitoring.

Applications

Bluetooth Low Energy Peripherals
Ideal for developing heart rate monitors, smart sensors, and other GATT-based BLE devices.
NFC Tag Emulation
Utilizes the integrated NFC-A tag support for simplified Bluetooth out-of-band pairing and user interaction.
Wireless Mesh Networking
Supports development of large-scale node networks using Bluetooth mesh or ANT protocol stacks.
Ultra-Low Power Wearables
Prototyping power-optimized consumer electronics powered by the integrated coin-cell battery holder.
