nRF8001 Development Kit User Guide v2.0

6 Hardware 

description

This chapter describes the:

• SCC (Single Chip Connectivity) modules (nRF2740 and nRF2741)
• Arduino shield adapter (PCA64105)
• nRF51822 Development Dongle (PCA10000)

6.1

SCC modules (nRF2740 and nRF2741)

The two SCC modules (nRF2740 and nRF2741) are identical except nRF2740 has an PCB antenna and 
nRF2741 has an SMA connector:

6.1.1

Solder bridge SB1

By default, solder bridge SB1 is shorted. Opening the SB1 solder bridge enables use of the nRF8001 internal 
step-down DC/DC converter. This feature is enabled from the 

Bluetooth

 menu in the nRFgo Studio.
