Table 6 Overview of Operational Modes of nRF2402/nRF2402G.
Active Modes
The nRF2402/nRF2402G has two transmit modes:
•
•
ShockBurst™
Direct Mode
The device functionality in these modes is determined by the content of a configuration word.
This configuration word is presented in the configuration section.
ShockBurst™
The ShockBurst™ technology uses on-chip FIFO to clock in data at a low data rate and
transmit at a very high rate thus enabling extreme reduction in power consumption.
When operating the nRF2402/nRF2402G (in co-operation with nRF2401/nRF24E1) in
ShockBurst™, you gain access to the high data rates (1 Mbps) offered by the 2.4 GHz band
without the need of a costly, high-speed micro controller (MCU) for data processing.
By putting all high speed signal processing related to RF protocol on-chip, the
nRF2402/nRF2402G offers the following benefits:
•
•
•
Highly reduced current consumption
Lower system cost (facilitates use of less expensive micro controller)
Greatly reduced risk of ‘on-air’ collisions due to short transmission time
The nRF2402/nRF2402G can be programmed using a simple 3-wire interface where the data
rate is decided by the speed of the micro controller.
By allowing the digital part of the application to run at low speed while maximizing the data
rate on the RF link, the nRF ShockBurst™ mode reduces the average current consumption in
applications considerably.

MCU interface pins: CE, CLK, DIN
1. When the application MCU has data to send, set CE high. This activates RF2402
on-board data processing.
2. The address of the receiving node (RX address) and payload data is clocked into
the nRF2402/nRF2402G. The application protocol or MCU sets the speed (ex:
10kbps).
3. MCU sets CE low, this activates a nRF2402/nRF2402G ShockBurst™
transmission.
4. nRF2402/nRF2402G 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).
• nRF2402/nRF2402G returns to stand-by when finished

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Direct Mode
In direct mode the nRF2402/nRF2402G works like a traditional RF device. The data rate
must be 1Mbps ±200ppm, or 250kbps ±200ppm at low data rate setting, for the receiver
(nRF2402/nRF24E1) to detect the signals.
MCU interface pins: CE, DIN
1. When application MCU has data to send, set CE high
2. The nRF2402/nRF2402G RF front end is now immediately activated, and after
200 µs settling time, signal on the DIN pin will modulate the carrier directly.
3. All RF protocol parts must hence be implemented in MCU firmware (preamble,
address and CRC).
Configuration Mode
In configuration mode a configuration word of up to 20 bits is downloaded to
nRF2402/nRF2402G. This is done through a simple 3-wire interface (CS, CLK and DIN).
For more information on configuration please refer to the nRF2402/nRF2402G device
configuration chapter, page13.
Power Down Mode
Power down mode is used to achieve very low current consumption. Effectively the chip is
disabled with minimal leakage current consumption, typically less than 200nA. Operating in
this mode when not transmitting data significantly increases battery lifetime.
Stand-By Mode
Stand by mode is used to achieve low current consumption. In this mode only a part of the
crystal oscillator is running (12µA) to guarantee a short start-up time. Operating in this mode
when not transmitting data increases battery lifetime while keeping start up delays short.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION
All configuration of the nRF2402/nRF2402G is done via a 3-wire interface to a single
configuration register. The configuration word can be up to 20 bits long for ShockBurst™ use
and up to 14 bits long for direct mode.
Configuration for ShockBurst™ operation
The configuration word in ShockBurst™ enables the nRF2402/nRF2402G to handle the RF
protocol (in co-operation with nRF2401/nRF24E1). Once the protocol is completed and
loaded into nRF2402/nRF2402G only seven bits, also used in direct mode, needs to be
updated during operation.
The configuration bits dedicated to ShockBurst™ is as follows:
• Preamble: Generation of 8 bit preamble in transmitted data.
• CRC: Enables nRF2402/nRF2402G on-chip CRC generation.
NOTE:
The MCU must generate an address and a payload section that fits the configuration of the
nRF2401/nRF24E1 that is to receive the data.
When using the nRF2402/nRF2402G on-chip CRC feature ensure that CRC is enabled and
uses the same length for both the nRF2402/nRF2402G and the receiving nRF2401/nRF24E1
devices.

The configuration word is shifted in MSB first on positive CLK edges. New configuration is
enabled on the negative edge of CS.
NOTE!
On the negative edge of CS, the nRF2402/nRF2402G updates the number of bits actually
shifted in during the last configuration.
Ex:
If the nRF2402/nRF2402G is to be configured for Preamble and CRC in ShockBurst™, a
total of 17 bits must be shifted in during the first configuration after VDD is applied.
Once the wanted "protocol" and modus are set there is no need to update this part of the
configuration during operation. If RF channel is to be changed, only the RF_CH# bits need to
be updated.

Preamble is automatically added to the data packet and thereby gives
extra space for payload in ShockBurst™. Preamble must be added by
MCU in Direct mode
The address field is required in ShockBurst™ mode.1
8 to 40 bits length.
Address automatically removed from received packet in ShockBurst™
mode. In Direct mode MCU must handle address.
The data to be transmitted
In ShockBurst™ mode payload size is 256 bits minus the following:
(Address: 8 to 40 bits. + CRC 8 or 16 bits).
In Direct mode the maximum payload size is defined by 1Mbps for 4ms:
4000 bits minus the following: (Preamble: 8 bits. + Address: 0 to 40 bits.
+ CRC: 0, 8 or 16 bits).
On chip CRC calculation is an option in ShockBurst™ mode,
and is not used in Direct mode.
8 or 16 bits length
Table 14 Data package

Suggestions for the use of addresses in ShockBurst™: In general more bits in the address gives less
false detection, which in the end may give lower data packet loss.
• The address made by (5, 4, 3, or 2) equal bytes are not recommended because it in general will make the
packet-error-rate increase.
• Addresses where the level shift only one time (i.e. 000FFFFFFF) could often be detected in noise that may
give a false detection, which again may give raised packet-error-rate.
Direct mode will be dependent on the software used in the MCU, but it is recommended to have the
same restrictions on addresses for this mode.

Note that the configuration word will be lost when VDD is turned off and that the device then
must be configured before going to active mode. If the device is configured one can go
directly from power down to active mode.
Note:
CE and CS may not be high at the same time. Setting one or the other decides whether
configuration or active mode is entered.
Configuration Mode
In configuration mode the transmitters output power, transmit frequency, data rate, CRC, and
preamble is set. The configuring data will be loaded during the Chip Select period (CS="1").
A random number of bits between 1 and 20 may be shifted in to the register to configure the
transmitter, but normally you would at least shift in the seven channel frequency bits. The
new configuration is activated on the negative edge of CS.
When one or more of the bits in the configuration word needs to be changed the following
timing apply.

In direct mode the input data will be sampled by nRF2402/nRF2402G and therefore no clock
is needed. The clock must be stable at low level during transmission due to noise
considerations. The exact delay Tsby2txDM is given by the equation:
Tsby 2txDM = 194us + 1 / F XO ⋅ 20 + 2.25us
The maximum length of a package (ToaDM) over all voltages and temperatures is 4ms. This
is limited by frequency drift in the transmitter and is independent of data rate and frequency
channel.

PERIPHERAL RF INFORMATION
Antenna output
The ANT1 and ANT2 output pins provide a balanced RF output to the antenna. The pins
must have a DC path to VDD_PA, either via a RF choke or via the center point in a balanced
antenna. Differential load impedance between the ANT1 and ANT2 pins, 100Ω+j175Ω, is
recomme nded for maximum output power. Antennas with lower load impedance (for
example 50Ω) can be matched to nRF2402/nRF2402G by using a simple matching network.
Antenna matching networks
The recommended 50Ω matching network is shown in Figure 15. This is a low pass network
improving higher harmonic suppression.

This network utilizes one component less and uses few inductors, but performance of this
network requires very careful PCB ground plane layout. The value of capacitor Cout is
dependent on PCB ground plane layout and parasitics in the layout, and must hence be
matched to a given application layout. The value of Cout will typically be in the range 1.0pF –
1.8pF. Cout must be tuned while checking that the harmonics output is below frequency
regulatory limits.

Table 17 Crystal specification of the nRF2402/nRF2402G
To achieve a crystal oscillator solution with low power consumption and fast start-up time, it
is recommended to specify the crystal with a low value of crystal load capacitance.
Specifying a lower value of crystal parallel equivalent capacitance, Co=1.5pF is also good,
but this can increase the price of the crystal itself. Typically Co=1.5pF at a crystal specified
for Co_max=7.0pF.
The crystal load capacitance, CL, is given by:
CL =
C1 '⋅C 2 '
,
C1 '+C 2 '
where C1 ' = C1 + C PCB1 + C I 1 and C 2 ' = C 2 + C PCB 2 + C I 2
C1 and C2 are 0603 SMD capacitors as shown in the application schematics. CPCB1 and CPCB2
are the layout parasitic on the circuit board. CI1 and CI2 are the capacitance seen into the XC1
and XC2 pin respectively; the value is typical 1pF.

nRF2402/nRF2402G Single Chip 2.4 GHz Radio Transmitter
Sharing crystal with micro controller.
When using a micro controller to drive the crystal reference input XC1 of the
nRF2402/nRF2402G transmitter some rules must be followed.
Crystal parameters:
When the micro controller drives the nRF2402/nRF2402G XC1 input, all crystal load
parameters (C L, C 0, ESR) are set by the micro controller specification. The frequency
accuracy (±30 ppm) is still set by the nRF2402/nRF2402G specification. The
nRF2402/nRF2402G will load the crystal circuitry of the micro controller by XC1 input
capacitance (0.5pF) plus PBC routing paracitics.
External reference input amplitude & Current consumption
The reference input should never have signal levels exceeding rail voltages. Exceeding rail
voltage will excite the ESD structure and the radio performance is degraded below
specification. Applying reference sources without DC bias will bring the reference signal
under GND level, and this is not acceptable.

Principle of crystal oscillator
It is hence recommended to use a DC-block before the XC1 pin so that the internal ESD
structures will self bias the XC1 voltage.
The nRF2402/nRF2402G crystal oscillator is amplitude regulated. To achieve low current
consumption and also good signal-to-noise ratio, it is recommended to use an input signal

larger than 0.4 V-peak. The needed input swing is independent of the crystal frequency.
When using external crystal refernce, XC2 is not used and can be left as an open pin.
Frequency Reference MCU
In direct mode there is a requirement on the accuracy of the data rate. For the receiver to
detect the incoming data and recover the clock, the data rate must be within ±200ppm, given
that the data is "random", i.e. there is a statistical calculation on how often a preamble like
sequence is present in the data. The clock is synchronized for any preamble detection, be it a
dedicated preamble or part of the data stream.
PCB layout and de-coupling guidelines
A well-designed PCB is necessary to achieve good RF performance. Keep in mind that a poor
layout may lead to loss of performance, or even functionality, if due care is not taken. A fully
qualified RF-layout for the nRF2402/nRF2402G and its surrounding components, including
matching networks, can be downloaded from www.nordicsemi.no.
A PCB with a minimum of two layers including a ground plane is recommended for optimum
performance. The nRF2402/nRF2402G DC supply voltage should be de-coupled as close as
possible to the VDD pins with high performance RF capacitors, see Table 18. It is preferable
to mount a large surface mount capacitor (e.g. 4.7µF tantalum) in parallel with the smaller
value capacitors. The nRF2402/nRF2402G supply voltage should be filtered and routed
separately from the supply voltages of any digital circuitry.
Long power supply lines on the PCB should be avoided. All device grounds, VDD
connections and VDD bypass capacitors must be connected as close as possible to the
nRF2402/nRF2402G IC. The VSS pins should be connected directly to the ground plane.
One via hole should be used for each VSS pin.
Full swing digital data or control signals should not be routed close to the crystal or the
power supply lines.
