NRF24L01P-R7

The nRF24L01 is a single chip 2.4GHz transceiver with an embedded baseband protocol engine (Enhanced ShockBurst), suitable for ultra low power wireless applications. The nRF24L01 is designed for operation in the world wide ISM frequency band at 2.400 - 2.4835GHz. To design a radio system with the nRF24L01, you simply need an MCU (microcontroller) and a few external passive components. You can operate and configure the nRF24L01 through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The register map, which is accessible through the SPI, contains all configuration registers in the nRF24L01 and is accessible in all operation modes of the chip. The embedded baseband protocol engine (Enhanced ShockBurst) is based on packet communication and supports various modes from manual operation to advanced autonomous protocol operation. Internal FIFOs ensure a smooth data flow between the radio front end and the system’s MCU. Enhanced ShockBurst reduces system cost by handling all the high speed link layer operations. The radio front end uses GFSK modulation. It has user configurable parameters like frequency channel, output power and air data rate. nRF24L01 supports an air data rate of 250 kbps, 1 Mbps and 2Mbps. The high air data rate combined with two power saving modes make the nRF24L01 very suitable for ultra low power designs. nRF24L01 is drop-in compatible with nRF24L01 and on-air compatible with nRF2401A, nRF2402, nRF24E1 and nRF24E2. Intermodulation and wideband blocking values in nRF24L01 are much improved in comparison to the nRF24L01 and the addition of internal filtering to nRF24L01 has improved the margins for meeting RF regulatory standards. Internal voltage regulators ensure a high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) and a wide power supply range.
