Introduction
The nRF9160 DK is a hardware development platform used to design and develop application firmware on
the nRF9160 LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 System in Package (SiP).
The DK (Development Kit) includes all necessary external circuitry like a SIM card holder and an antenna
and it provides developers access to all I/O pins and relevant module interfaces.
Note: The DK can be connected to a base station by the onboard LTE antenna or to an LTE
emulator by an RF cable. See our nRF9160 certifications webpage to find the bands supported by
the LTE modem. Without a UICC/SIM connected, the DK cannot initiate communication with the
LTE network.
The key features of the development kit are:
• nRF9160 SiP
• LTE antenna that supports all bands supported by the SiP
• Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna
• nRF52840 as a board controller and network processor for Bluetooth
®
and IEEE 802.15.4 protocols
• Buttons, switches, and LEDs for user interaction
• I/O interface for Arduino form factor plug-in modules
• SEGGER J-Link OB Debugger with debug out functionality
• UART interface through virtual COM port
• USB connection for debug/programming and power
• SIM card socket for nano-SIM (4FF SIM)
• Interfaces for nRF9160 current consumption measurements
Note: nRF9160 DK is compliant with the PS1 classification according to the IEC 62368-1 standard.
