via Biondini, 27 47100 Forl P.IVA: IT 02602600401 USER MANUAL WIRELESS MODULE TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION PTR6100M -- nRF24L01+
2.4GHz 2Mbps Super MiNi Embedded Tranceiver Module Operational Description:
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 - 2.525GHz. For U.S. and Canada the allowed frequency range is 2.400-2.483 GHz. More technical informations are available in the section Limitation of the single-modular transmitter (for U.S. and Canada). 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 systems MCU. Enhanced Shock-
Burst 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. In order to comunicate with the internal chip nRF24L01+ the external circuitry must implement a fast SPI over the following six 5Volts tollerant digital signal:
IRQ (this signal is active low and controlled by three maskable interrupt sources) CE (this signal is active high and used to activate the chip in RX or TX mode) CSN (SPI signal) SCK (SPI signal) MOSI (SPI signal) MISO (SPI signal) The SPI is a standard SPI with a maximum data rate of 10Mbps. Thru the SPI interface the external logic can have access to any of the internal register, permitting to control the status (
TX, Rx, stand by, etc) , to set the transmission power, read the received data and take control of others features. A power antenna is printed directly into PCB avoiding external antenna connection. Features:

via Biondini, 27 47100 Forl P.IVA: IT 02602600401 USER MANUAL Power Down mode Radio Control Description:
The nRF24L01+ has a built-in state machine that controls the transitions between the chips operating modes. The state machine takes input from user defined register values and internal signals. The nRF24L01+ can be configured in power down, standby, RX or TX mode. In power down mode nRF24L01+ is disabled using minimal current consumption. All register values available are maintained and the SPI is kept active, enabling change of configuration and the uploading/downloading of data registers. Standby-I mode is used to minimize average current consumption while maintaining short start up times. In this mode only part of the crystal oscillator is active. In standby-II mode extra clock buffers are active and more current is used compared to standby-I mode. Register values are maintained and the SPI can be activated during both standby modes. The RX mode is an active mode where the nRF24L01+ radio is used as a receiver. In RX mode the receiver demodulates the signals from the RF channel, constantly presenting the demodulated data to the baseband protocol engine. The baseband protocol engine constantly searches for a valid packet. If a valid packet is found (by a matching address and a valid CRC) the payload of the packet is presented Standby-II mode Standby Modes Rx Mode MOTION S.P.A. sede amm.va e stabilimento:

via Biondini, 27 47100 Forl P.IVA: IT 02602600401 USER MANUAL Tx Mode in a vacant slot in the RX FIFOs. If the RX FIFOs are full, the received packet is discarded. The nRF24L01+ remains in RX mode until the MCU configures it to standby-I mode or power down mode. However, if the automatic protocol features (Enhanced ShockBurst) in the baseband protocol engine are enabled, the nRF24L01+ can enter other modes in order to execute the protocol. The TX mode is an ctive mode for transmitting packets. The nRF24L01+ stays in TX mode until it finishes transmitting a packet. The status of the TX FIFO determines the next action. If the TX FIFO is not empty the nRF24L01+ remains in TX mode and transmits the next packet. If the TX FIFO is empty the nRF24L01+ goes into standby-II mode. The nRF24L01+ transmitter PLL operates in open loop when in TX mode. It is important never to keep the nRF24L01+ in TX mode for more than 4ms at a time. If the Enhanced ShockBurst features are enabled, nRF24L01+ is never in TX mode longer than 4ms. Air data rate:
The air data rate is the modulated signaling rate the nRF24L01+ uses when transmitting and receiving data. It can be 250kbps, 1Mbps or 2Mbps. Using lower air data rate gives better receiver sensitivity than higher air data rate. But, high air data rate gives lower average current consumption and reduced probability of on-air collisions. The air data rate is set by the RF_DR bit in the RF_SETUP register. A transmitter and a receiver must be programmed with the same air data rate to communicate with each other. nRF24L01+ is fully compatible with nRF24L01. For compatibility with nRF2401A, nRF2402, nRF24E1, and nRF24E2 the air data rate must be set to 250kbps or 1Mbps. RF channel frequency:
The RF channel frequency determines the center of the channel used by the nRF24L01+. The channel occupies a bandwidth of less than 1MHz at 250kbps and 1Mbps and a bandwidth of less than 2MHz at 2Mbps. nRF24L01+ can operate on frequencies from 2.400GHz to 2.525GHz. For U.S. and Canada the allowed frequency range is 2.400-2.483 GHz. More technical informations are available in the section Limitation of the single-modular transmitter (for U.S. and Canada). The programming resolution of the RF channel frequency setting is 1MHz. At 2Mbps the channel occupies a bandwidth wider than the resolution of the RF channel frequency setting. To ensure non-overlapping channels in 2Mbps mode, the channel spacing must be 2MHz or more. At 1Mbps and 250kbps the channel bandwidth is the same or lower than the resolution of the RF frequency. Transmitter and a receiver must be brogrammed with the same RF channel frequency to communicate with each other. MOTION S.P.A. sede amm.va e stabilimento:

via Biondini, 27 47100 Forl P.IVA: IT 02602600401 USER MANUAL Limitation of the single-modular transmitter (for U.S. and Canada) The modular transmitter embeds the nRF24L01+ Single Chip 2.4GHz Transceiver manifactured by Nordic Semiconductor. Frequency limitations for U.S. and Canada:
The modular transmitter is subject to 15.212 rules, and has to be limited U.S. and Canada. To assure that the module can transmit ONLY inside the permitted frequency band specified by FCC rules ( 15 chapter ), the manufacturer (only MOTION S.P.A.) must program the RF-single chip with the admitted values, limited to the following registers. In reference to the original datasheet from Nordic Semiconductor titled "nRF24L01+ Single Chip 2.4GHz Transceiver Product Specification v1.0" Revision 1.0, Chapter "9 Register Map", Table 28.
"Register map of nRF24L01+" page 58:
MUST BE PROGRAMMED WITH VALUES BETWEEN 0x02 and 0x50 (hexadecimal value) This register specify the radio channel used during transmission/receiving data. If the user doesn't program this register at all, his values at the power on of the equipment will be equals to 0x02 and the frequency of transmission will be 2400MHz + 2Mhz = 2402MHz that is inside the allowed RF band. The minimum Channel correspond to 2402MHz and the maximum correspond to 2480MHz
(both inside the allowed RF band). For U.S. and Canada the allowed frequency range is 2.400-2.483 GHz and MOTION S.P.A. limits always the frequencies to the range 2.402-2.480 GHz. No other register or software adjustment practice are required to submit the FCC requirements. Register "RF_CH - RF Channel"
