Getting Started with XIAO nRF52840Sense

As the advanced version of the board XIAO nRF52840, XIAO nRF52840

Sense has equipped a powerful Nordic nRF52840 MCU which is designed in a

Bluetooth 5.0 module, built around 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M4 CPU with

Floating-Point Unit(FPU) operating at 64Mhz. With the capabilities of wireless

connection, it still remains the XIAO series classic form-factor of small and

exquisite which can be used for wearable devices and Internet of Things

projects. Furthermore, it only costs 5 μA in the deep sleep model and it

supports battery charge management because of the BQ25101 chip.

In addition, it carries two extra onboard sensors. One of them is a digital

microphone created through Pulse Density Modulation(PDM) module on the

nRF52840 chip. It can receive audio data in real-time which allows it can be

used for audio recognition. The board not only receives audio data but also

can speak through the MSM261D3526H1CPM microphone. The other one is

6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) which can be applied in TinyML

projects like gesture recognition. These onboard sensors provide a great

convenience for users and the ultra-small size feature of the board has still

remained.

Same as XIAO nRF52840, XIAO nRF52840 Sense contains a wealthy

interface. The first thing to note is that the Near Field Communication(NFC) is

functional on the board. Secondly, there is a tiny and elegant reset button on one side of the Type-C interface. On the other side, it is designed in a three-in-one LED along with a power LED. There are 11 digital i/o that can be used as PWM pins and 6 analog i/o that can be used as ADC pins. It supports UART, IIC, and SPI all three common serial ports.

antenna gain is 2.0dBi. Label and compliance information When the module is installed in the host device, the FCC ID label must be visible through a window on the final device or it must be visible when an access panel, door or cover is easily re‐moved. If not, a second label must be placed on the outside of the final device that contains the following text: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: Z4T-XIAONRF52840, the FCC ID can be used only when all FCC ID compliance requirements are met.

This investigation is especially important when integrating multiple modular transmitters where the certification is based on testing each of them in a stand‐ alone configuration. It is important to note that host product manufacturers should not assume that because the modular transmitter is certified that they do not have any responsibility for final product compliance. If the investigation indicates a compliance concern the host product manufacturer is obligated to mitigate the issue.

rule in Sections 15.33(a)(1) through (a)(3), or the range applicable to the digital device, as shown in Section 15.33(b)(1), whichever is the higher frequency range of investigation. When testing the host product, all the transmitters must be operating. The transmitters can be enabled by using publicly available drivers and turned on, so the transmitters are active.
