Overview 

The EVK-NINA-W13 evaluation kit includes an evaluation board, which can be used as a reference design for the 
NINA-W13  series  Wi-Fi  modules,  a quick start guide  and a USB cable. For the NINA-W131  module, the 
evaluation board is prepared with a U.FL coaxial connector for connecting the external antenna. The NINA-W132 
module has an onboard antenna; thus the EVK-NINA-W132 evaluation board does not have a U.FL connector. 
The main features of the EVK-NINA-W13 are: 

 

Available in two variants - NINA-W131 and NINA-W132 

 

All of the NINA-W13 module pins are available at connectors or jumpers 

 

Can be powered through USB (J8) or external power supply (J23) 

 

Equipped with a Quad High Speed USB to Multipurpose UART/MPSSE IC (FT4232) that allows serial 
communication and flashing over USB. 

The EVK-NINA-W13 evaluation kits are available in the following two variants, depending on which NINA-W13 
module is mounted on the EVK: 

 

EVK-NINA-W131 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W131 module, RF port available on U.FL connector (J21) 

 

EVK-NINA-W132 – Evaluation kit for NINA-W132 module with onboard antenna  

This section describes the main connectors and settings that are required to get started. Figure 1 and Figure 2 
show the two variants of the EVK-NINA-W13 evaluation board - EVK-NINA-W131 and EVK-NINA-W132.
