    SoC matching network The PI type matching network (composed of the inductors L1, L2, and L3 plus capacitors C2, C3, C4, and C5) on the right transforms the PA output impedance of GR5405 to 50 ohm transmission line impedance. Note: The DC blocking capacitor (C1) that connects the two matching networks cannot be omitted.

    Input voltages of all I/Os and VIO_LDO_OUT/VDDIO_1 should not be higher than the VBATL voltage. 3.1.5 SWD Interfaces GR5405 connects to J-Link for debugging by using Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interfaces. The following table shows the pins to which the SWD interfaces connect.
  • Page 29: Components Layout

    When designing the layout, make sure the GR5405 SoC is placed as close to the antenna interface as possible, and no other traces or components are under the RF routing if possible (the layout and routing of RF components are of higher priority).

    In designing a PCB, can I modify the recommended RF matching circuit layout due to limited space? • Issue Analysis GR5405 recommends two matching circuits for RF: a matching circuit close to GR5405 and a matching circuit close to the antenna. Whether these two matching circuits can be simplified or removed needs to be treated differently.
