Recommended Operating Parameters Notes:
Note 1
4.7 uF internal to module on VDD. The internal DCDC convertor or LDO is decided by the underlying BLE stack.
Note 2
This is the maximum VDD or VDD_HV ripple or noise (at any frequency) that does not disturb the radio.
Note 3
The on-board power-on reset circuitry may not function properly for rise times longer than the specified maximum.
Note 4
BL654 power supply options:
Option 1 Normal voltage power supply mode entered when the external supply voltage is connected to
both the VDD and VDD_HV pins (so that VDD equals VDD_HV). Connect external supply within range 1.7V
to 3.6V range to BL654 VDD and VDD_HV pins.
OR
Option 2 High voltage mode power supply mode (using BL654 VDD_HV pin) entered when the external
supply voltage in ONLY connected to the VDD_HV pin and the VDD pin is not connected to any external
voltage supply. Connect external supply within range 2.5V to 5.5V range to BL654 VDD_HV pin. BL654
VDD pin left unconnected.
Nordic Errata 197 and 202 related to the use of VDD_HV DCDC convertor, for details refer to
http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52840_Rev_1_Errata_v1.1.pdf. Nordic Errata 202 means no
external current draw (from VDD pin) is allowed during power up and VDD_HV rise time (to 3V) is below 1
millisecond.
For either option, if you use USB interface then the BL654 VBUS pin must be connected to external supply
within the range 4.35V to 5.5V. When using the BL654 VBUS pin, you MUST externally fit a 4.7uF to
ground.
