The nRF24AP2-1CH and nRF24AP2-8CH are single-chip ANT protocol stack with ultra-low power wireless network solutions. The operating frequency is 2.4 GHz ISM band. The nRF24AP2-1CH supports 1 ANT logic channel and is ideal for sensors, while the nRF24AP2-8CH supports up to 8 ANT logic channels and is ideal for hubs. The solution features true ultra-low power operation, supports multiple network topologies, supports public and private networks, and supports ANT+ device profile implementations to enable multivendor interoperability.
The nRF24AP2 family from Nordic Semiconductor provides a low‑cost, high‑performance 2.4 GHz ISM‑band transceiver with an integrated ANT protocol stack. Two variants are offered: the nRF24AP2‑1CH with a single ANT channel for sensor nodes, and the nRF24AP2‑8CH with up to eight channels for hub applications.
Key features include ultra‑low power operation (average 17 µA at 1 Hz broadcast), configurable channel periods, burst data rates up to 20 kbps, and support for both asynchronous and synchronous host interfaces. The device is supplied in a 5 × 5 mm 32‑pin QFN package, operates from 1.9 V to 3.6 V, and complies with RoHS directives.
