The transceiver consists of a fully integrated frequency synthesizer, a power amplifier, a crystal oscillator, a demodulator, modulator and Enhanced ShockBurst™ protocol engine. Output power, frequency channels, and protocol setup are easily programmable through a SPI interface. Current consumption is very low, only 9.0mA at an output power of -6dBm and 12.3mA in RX mode. Built-in Power Down and Standby modes makes power saving easily realizable. QUICK REFERENCE DATA Parameter Valu e Unit Minimum supply voltage 1.9 V Maximum output power 0 dBm Maximum data rate 2000 kbps Supply current in TX mode...
