Smps and nrf24l01

davids

Is anybody have any experience powering nrf24l01 with smps stepdown converter?..i have trouble using fr9702 as 3.3 volt supply for nrf..the problem is..nr24L01 cant received any radio data..but no problem with the transmiting functionality..but wen i change the supply with 78L33 for down convert 12v to 3.3v..everything is run normally..note that the powersupply is in the same board with the nrf24L01 modul..and the smps controller have the fix frequency at 1.4MHz Any comment is appreciated

    Hi,

    It is most likely that you power supply has too much noise. The radio, RX and TX, is dependent on a stable power supply with little noise. The 2nd harmonic of the SMPS is almost the same as the RX local oscillator at ~2.8MHz. This will affect the receiver performance if the noise level is too high at this frequency. You can fix or improve this with better filtering of your power supply. If this doesn't help, you must use another regulator with a different switching frequency.
