shows how to control NINA-B50 series modules through a host CPU and interface
connections.

With NINA-B50 application designs are simplified. Developers have the option to connect an external
antenna through the antenna pin on NINA-B501 or leverage the internal antenna on NINA-B506.
Footprint compatibility with other NINA modules ensures that NINA-B50 series modules offer
maximum flexibility for developing similar devices with various radio technologies.

Power Supply
2.1.1
Power switch
series modules have an on-module power switch which can be used to switch off all or part of MCU
power supply to get lower power consumption than deep power down mode or power external devices
via
VOUT_SWITCH
.
The power switch input supply
VCC
is required to be supplied permanently to support standby RAM
LDO and RAM power switch. The power switch output
VOUT_SWITCH
signal can be configured to be
enabled or disabled.
The power switch can be turned on in several ways:
•
The Power-On-Reset (POR) of power switch input supply
VCC
•
External
SWITCH_WAKEUP
(pin 45). Once driven low, it can turn on power switch.
•
Internal wakeup logic from SPC if
VSYS
is powered ON.
