PCA10121 revision Limitation Description Workaround Fixed in revision
Rev 1.0.0 CS47L63 AD-DA converter (U2) may fail to start On some occasions, the 1.2 V power supply for U2 is not provided at boot-up. This is caused by higher than expected inrush current. This function is tested in production. Restart the DK or attach the battery to the DK before connecting the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable. If the problem persists, contact Nordic Semiconductor and ask for a replacement. Rev 1.0.1
