nRF52840 maximum data throughput

[DJ]

How many nRF52840 chips can be used simultaneously? Can all data and advertisement channels be used at maximum capacity (2Mbps/each) to result in an overall throughput of 2Mbps*N where N is the number of nRF52840 chips < # of channels available?

Thanks

Hi DJ,

What do you mean by simultaneously? This is so vague that I even cannot give you one from all the myriads of answers. On the second question: in theory you might get continuous 2Mbps with some proprietary radio protocol but I'm not sure that chip would handle it for long time. In addition it's practically useless unless you are in some kind of lab environment such (e.g. shielded chamber). Your questions indicate that your application is most probably not suitable for this range of embedded low energy ICs, are you sure you don't want to use some other off the shelf technology like WiFi?
