Pin-outs
A note on backwards drop-in compatibility: the D52Q modules support drop-in compatibility with ANTAP281M4IB,
ANTC782M4IB, N5150M4CD, N550M4CC and N548M4CB modules from Dynastream Innovations under certain
configurations. For drop-in compatibility, existing designs must use only the reset capability of the reset/SWDIO pin on
previous modules. See pin H202, below. In addition to this, there must be nothing on existing designs that would contact
the LGA pads in the middle of the D52Q modules.
A note on the preloaded Network Processor application: Please refer to Appendix A – Using the ANT Network
Processor Configuration for ANT Serial Line specification.

Table 4: Accelerometer Pin Assignment
SPI or I2C can be used to communicate with the accelerometer. To use I2C, pull-up resistors will need to be added to the
appropriate pads.
For more information about D52Q pin assignments, refer to Table 3: D52 Module Series Pin-Out.

below. Depending on the module revision, the preloaded code may vary. Please refer to Appendix B – D52Q Module PreLoaded Software Versions for further details. Licensing terms for the preloaded software are described in the Module
Distribution Agreement, which is referenced in section 4 – Licensing & Conditions of Use.
S212 SoftDevice – Refer to the S212 nRF52832 SoftDevice Specification.

D52 Module Programming
The D52 ANT SoC module series supports programming by standard Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface. The two software
components (the SoftDevice and the application code) must be version compatible to operate properly. To ensure proper
operation after reprogramming, it is recommended that the module undergoes a full erasure (e.g. using the erase-all option
in nrfjprog.exe/nRFgo Studio) and all desired software components be explicitly programmed onto the module.
2.5.1
Programming via SWD interface
The D52 ANT SoC Module series supports the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface, SWDCLK and SWDIO (refer to Table 3:
D52 Module Series Pin-Out). Programming and debugging of the module only require commonly available tools, such as the
Keil software development environment and the Segger J-Link programmer.
Please refer to “ANT SoC Module Starter Kit User Manual” from Dynastream Innovations for reference software setup and
use with ANT using the Keil software and a J-Link programmer.
2.5.2
Initializing the SoftDevice
D52Q modules come with a 20ppm onboard 32 kHz crystal. When initializing the SoftDevice, it is important to set the crystal
accuracy to be 20ppm. This clock source is selected when enabling the SoftDevice via the sd_softdevice_enable command.
2.5.3
Configuring the dc/dc converter
D52 series modules can make use of the DC/DC Converter on nRF52832 chips. This can improve power consumption under
certain conditions.
2.6
Design considerations
RF performance is always affected by the environment. Good design makes a product less susceptible to adverse conditions.
The recommendations in this section are guidelines only; you should thoroughly test your products in the intended use case
environments and make necessary modifications and trade-offs.
For assistance in design, a STEP model package and Altium library are available from Dynastream Innovations .

Assembly Considerations
2.7.1
Moisture Control
D52Q modules are rated at different levels per SKU:
The D52QD2M4IA-A (module with accelerometer) is rated at level 3 (MSL3) as defined by IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
The D52QD2M4IA is rated at level 2 (MSL2) as defined by IPC/JEDED J-STD-20.
To ensure good solderability of the PCB pads, it is highly recommended to always have the modules intended for reflow well
sealed when in storage.
2.7.2
Solder Stencil for M4 Module
The following reference example is used to create the D52QD2M6IA-A development modules:

Regulatory Approvals and Compliance
The D52Q ANT SoC modules, when loaded with an ANT and/or BLUETOOTH low energy stack, have received regulatory
approvals in the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), and have been verified to conform to the appropriate regulations in
Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Korea. The modules have been qualified by BLUETOOTH SIG. Such
approvals and qualification allow the user to place the module inside a finished product and, in most cases, not require
regulatory testing for an intentional radiator, provided no changes or modifications are made to the module circuitry. This
does not preclude the possibility that some other form of authorization or testing may be required for the finished product.
Changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of
the instructions provided by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.
3.1
United States
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
A host product manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For
example, if a host product was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Declaration of Conformity
procedure without containing a certified transmitter module, then a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible
for ensuring that the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15 subpart B unintentional radiator requirements after the
module is installed and operational. Because this may depend on the details of how the module is integrated within the
host, the module grantee (the party responsible for the module grant) shall provide guidance to the host manufacturer for
ensuring compliance with the Part 15 Subpart B requirements.
This module is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM Integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no
manual instructions to remove or install the module. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Dynastream could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
If (1) the module’s FCC ID is not visible when installed in the host, or (2) if the host is marketed so that end users do not
have straightforward commonly used methods for access to remove the module so that the FCC ID of the module is visible;
then an additional permanent label referring to the enclosed module: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: O6R3067” or
“Contains FCC ID: O6R3067” must be used. The host OEM user manual must also contain clear instructions on how end
users can find and/or access the module and the FCC ID.
3.2
Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
3.3
European Economic Area

RTS is hardware controlled on the D52 module and follows the RTS behaviour described in the nRF52 Series

HW flow control is not available on MCU, the software implemented flow control must be able to manage serial
communication flow control on a per byte level.
