nRF2401A ShockBurst™ Transmit:
MCU interface pins: CE, CLK1, DATA
1. When the application MCU has data to send, set CE high. This activates
nRF2401A on-board data processing.
2. The address of the receiving node (RX address) and payload data is
clocked into the nRF2401A. The application protocol or MCU sets the
speed <1Mbps (ex: 10kbps).
3. MCU sets CE low, this activates a nRF2401A ShockBurst™ transmission.
4. nRF2401A ShockBurst™:
• RF front end is powered up
• RF package is completed (preamble added, CRC calculated)
• Data is transmitted at high speed (250 kbps or 1 Mbps configured
by user).
• nRF2401A return to stand-by when finished
