**Delivery of development review details**Thursday, November 30, 202310:03 AM

After reviewing IC and module vendors, it appears that a 2-layer design is possible due to the small number of pin outs.

However, there may be cases where a 4-layer design is unavoidable depending on pin placement, addition of parts, etc.

**PCB prices (sample, mass production) will increase.****I/O is placed outside the chip, so it seems like all I/O can be removed.****There is a limit to reducing the number of I/O modules.Module design decisionsShould the 32.768KHz crystal be treated as optional or put into a module?**The development reference target is, in addition to what [Director A] said,It would be good to use the module developed by Raytac as nRF52805 as a standard.

I think the antenna will be designed almost identically.

Reference issue

Previously, the minimum size of Nordic Ref was 1005 parts.However, recently, as ICs have become smaller, they have been replaced by 0603 (changeable capacities), so partsAll are small. So when you create a module you can keep it small.* → This is not a somewhat common part when contracting production.* → RF tuning requires separate purchase of parts.

**When producing modules, a JIG design that can test modules individually is required.****Rather than soldering the pins of each module rather than functional parts,**It seems important to create a structure that can make electrical contact.

Module data sheet reviewTuesday, June 4, 20247:12 AMGX805CIt would be nice to change the photo in the future by applying shield cans for mass production.Also, because we decided not to use half holes for the module padIt would be better to apply the photo after SMT to the changed PCB in the future.

Blog Image

GX805 is the model name of the pattern antenna module.

(When confirming the module name, “C” is attached to the chip antenna from the beginning, and there is no attached pattern antenna)As shown below, GX805 is used as a common name, but it is difficult to see it as a common name for 2 modulesUsers may be a bit confused when ordering.

소켓보드 : 회로에서 USB -c 커넥터 제거Ts##CAD 검토_소켓보드2024년 10월 8일 화요일오전 8:08SW1ON, OFF의 실크 위치를 서로 바꿔서 배치.

(스위치를 오른쪽으로 당기면 1-2간 연결되어 ON되므로 ON 실크를 스위치 오른쪽에 배치)

회로도 수정을 좀 했습니다.

아래 2곳 입니다.

TX를 ==>RX로, RX를 ==>TX로 변경.Blog Image* → 변경

R17 GND를 아래와 같이 변경했습니다.

아래 영역에 있는 TP 및 부품을 모두 Bottom에 배치해야 될 것 같습니다.

검토하다 보니 소켓기구가 PCB에 완전 밀착이 되더라구요..

**소켓보드 전류 제한**2025년 1월 17일 금요일오전 8:45##소켓보드를 사용하여 Module을 시험하는 과정에서 모듈이 열이 발생하는 경우

전원을 차단하고자 함.

모듈이 모든시험에서 정상적으로 동작함에도 불구하고 어딘가 쇼트현상에 의해 전류를 과다하게 소모하고 있고, 이때 모듈에서 열이 발생함.
