Replacement of nFR24L01+

[Rajkumar]

Hello Sir,

I am working on home automation device in which I am using nRF24L01P module. Product is already in production. I bought these modules from local market which not original. So am facing problem of range and data packets loss. I have already discussed with about this, you had suggested me some distributors but they said "We had discussion with Nordic team on this. This is old generation part not recommended for new design.They have recommended Module with chipset  nRF52 based chipset." . Can I design PCB for nRF24L01p ? Please help me.

Hi Raj

It is correct that the nRF24L01p is not recommended for new designs, but you should still be able to order it from our distributors. 

In your case it sounds like it's not really a new design either. 

Did you specify to the distributor that you are looking for buying the chipset only, and design your own PCB?

It is possible that they don't have nRF24L01p modules in stock, but ordering chips should be unproblematic.

Make sure to specify that you are just looking to buy the chipset. If they are still pointing to the nRF52 just let us know, and we can contact them about it. 

Best regards
Torbjørn
