    nRF51822 mbed Kit User Guide v1.0 Hardware description The nRF51822 mbed kit board (PCA10024) is a standalone mbed enabled development board. The board is delivered with an unprogrammed nRF51822 chip. Key features The mbed kit board has the following key features: •...
  • Page 8 nRF51822 mbed Kit User Guide v1.0 Figure 5 mbed kit board bottom nRF51822 reset The Reset button (SW3) is connected to the Interface MCU, therefore the mbed kit board needs to be powered through USB and the Interface MCU switch (SW4) must be switched to ON in order to reset the nRF51822 chip by pressing the reset button.
  • Page 9: Power Supply

    nRF51822 mbed Kit User Guide v1.0 Power supply The mbed kit board has several power options as seen in Figure 7 and Figure 8. • USB • External power supply through P1 (1.8 V to 3.6 V) • CR2032 coin cell battery Figure 7 USB and external power supply Coin cell battery holder...
  • Page 10 nRF51822 mbed Kit User Guide v1.0 The 5 V from the USB is regulated down to 3.3 V through an on-board voltage regulator. The battery and external power supply are not regulated. The power sources are routed through a set of diodes (D1A, D1B, and D1C) where the circuit is supplied from the source with the highest voltage.
  • Page 11 nRF51822 mbed Kit User Guide v1.0 Interface MCU disconnect The Interface MCU circuit on the mbed kit board only works when the board is powered through the USB connector. To ensure that the Interface MCU will not hold any of the SWD or UART lines while powered down, the SWD lines will be disconnected automatically when the USB cable is unplugged.
