2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet Power USB PORT The USB port is the easiest way to power up the Argon. Please make sure that the USB port is able to provided at least 500mA. Power from the USB is regulated down to 3.3V by the on board Torex XC9258A step-down regulator. VUSB PIN The pin is internally connected to the VBUS of the USB port. The nominal output should be around 4.5 to 5 VDC when the device is plugged into the USB port and 0 when not connected to a USB source.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet If you want to make your projects truly wireless, you can power the device with a single cell LiPo (3.7V). The Argon has an on board LiPo charger that will charge and power the device when USB source is plugged in, or power the device from the LiPo alone in the absence of the USB. NOTE: Please pay attention to the polarity of the LiPo connector.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet powering over this pin, please connect the ENABLE pin to GND so that the on board regulator is disabled. Antenna There are two radios on the Argon. A Mesh radio (nRF52840) and a WiFi radio (ESP32). For the WiFi radio, we have provide a u.FL connector to plug in the WiFi antenna. This is required if you wish to use the WiFi connectivity. There are two options for the Mesh antenna on the Argon.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet SWD The Argon has a dedicated 10 pin debug connector that exposes the SWD interface of the nRF5280. This interface can be used to debug your code or reprogram your Argon bootloader, device OS, or the user firmware using any standard SWD tools including our Mesh Debugger.

2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet Weight = 10 grams Mating connectors The Argon uses two single row 0.1" pitch male header pins. One of them is 16 pin while the other is 12 pin. It can be mounted with matching 0.1" pitch female headers with a typical height of 0.335" (8.5mm). When you search for parts like these it can be difficult to navigate the thousands of parts available online so here are a few good choices for the Argon: Description MFG MFG Part Number 16-pin 0.1" (2.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet Recommended PCB land pattern The Argon can be directly soldered onto the PCB or be mounted with the above mentioned female headers.

2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet Product Handling ESD Precautions The Argon contains highly sensitive electronic circuitry and is an Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD). Handling Argon without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage it permanently. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates Argon.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet The micro B USB connector on the Argon is soldered on the PCB with large surface pads as well as couple of through hole anchor points. Despite this reinforcement, it is very easy to rip out the connector if too much stress is put on in the vertical direction. The u.FL antenna connector is a very fragile piece of hardware ( and is fancy too with all the gold plating). The connector was not designed to be constantly plugged and unplugged.
2018/11/15 Particle Datasheets | Argon datasheet Default settings The Argon comes preprogrammed with a bootloader and a user application called Tinker. This application works with an iOS and Android app also named Tinker that allows you to very easily toggle digital pins, take analog and digital readings and drive variable PWM outputs.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
