Duoceiver feature - nRF24L01+ ??????

[CKosior]

We are intensively using nRF2401A transceiver. Due to the fact that it's now not recommended for new desings, we are about to migrate to nRF24L01+

The problem is that we are indeed using the nRF2401A’s Duoceiver feature (Simultaneous two channel receive mode with a 8MHz offset). This capability is extremely important for us, and according to nRF24L01+ datasheet, it does not allow such feature. What’s more, the Multiceiver feature is something extremely else. Any suggestions, clues ?
Maybe there are some "hidden registers" that would allow to build the Duoceiver feature in nRF24L01+ ?

Hi

The duoceiver feature was removed in the nRF24L01+ unfortunately, and can not be found in any devices after the nRF2401.

The multiceiver feature allows you to scan for multiple RF addresses at the same time, but packets from different transmitters have to be sent at different times to avoid packet collisions. Receiving packets simultaneously on different channels is not possible.

If the duoceiver feature is critical to your design I would probably just stick to the nRF2401. We don't plan to deprecate any of these parts unless external factors force us to do so, such as our production partners dropping support for the process we use. Since both the nRF2401 and the nRF24L01+ is made on a similar 180nm process I find it extremely unlikely that the nRF2401 would be deprecated without the nRF24L01+ also suffering the same faith.

In the unlikely event that this should occur (soon) we will provide a 12 month warning, to give you time to put in the final orders and/or do a redesign of your product.

Best regards
