Is the BL5340 pin compatable with the BL654/653?

Answer

No, the BL5340 and BL653/BL654 are not the same pin mapping or layout, a whole new design is required for a PCB to have a BL5340 fitted. That being said, the reserved pins on the BL653/BL654 are:

  • QSPI (BL654 only, no QSPI on BL653)
  • SPIM4 (SPIM4 only, this is the high-speed SPI port at 32MHz)
  • TRACE
  • 32KHz Crystal
  • NFC

On the BL5340, the list is similar:

  • QSPI
  • SPIM4 (SPIM4 only, this is the high-speed SPI port at 32MHz)
  • I2C (only if they plan to use 1Mbps I2C which might be known as I3C?)
  • TRACE
  • 32KHz Crystal
  • NFC
