To ensure good RF performance when designing PCBs, using the PCB layouts and component values provided by Nordic Semiconductor is highly recommended .

Documentation for the different package reference circuits, including Altium Designer files, PCB layout files, and PCB production files can be downloaded from the product page at www.nordicsemi.com/nRF9151.

This section contains reference circuitry showing the components to support the design of on-chip features.

Note: This is not a complete list of configurations, but all required circuitry is shown for further configurations.
