GENERAL DESCRIPTION
nRF2401A is a single-chip radio transceiver for the world wide 2.4 - 2.5 GHz ISM
band. The transceiver consists of a fully integrated frequency synthesizer, a power
amplifier, a crystal oscillator and a modulator. Output power and frequency channels
are easily programmable by use of the 3-wire serial interface. Current consumption is
very low, only 10.5mA at an output power of -5dBm and 18mA in receive mode.
Built-in Power Down modes makes power saving easily realizable.

Usable band is determined by local regulations
The crystal frequency may be chosen from 5 different values (4, 8, 12, 16, and 20MHz) which are specified in the
configuration word, see Table 8. 16MHz are required for 1Mbps operation.
Data rate must be either 250kbps or 1000kbps.
Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω
Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 250kbps or 1Mbps.
Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 10kbps.
Current if 4 MHz crystal is used.
