What is the representation of the components printed on the ground plane (see picture attached) ? I just want to confirm this is not decoupling capacitors required by the BCM20737S


Thanks!

Hello 79 rpm,

From the post below, these are not simply decoupling caps.

Please look at the schematic here: iBeacon BCM20737S Reference Design PDF Schematic (Module)

Both R15 and R16 are needed on the SDA and SCL lines while R13 is used for UP_RX line.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

JT
