The nRF24Z1™ is a unique single chip solution for wireless streaming of crystal clear CD-quality stereo audio up to16-bit, 48kHz without using compression. The nRF24Z1 also features input support of up to 24-bit, 48kHz. Operating in the global 2.4GHz band, the nRF24Z1 offers unrivalled performance and integration, coupled with an ultra-low solution cost. The nRF24Z1 uses Nordic Semiconductor’s latest 4Mbit/s MegaZtream™ platform embedding a state-of-the-art Quality of Service (QoS) subsystem, with an ultra-low power robust 4Mbit/s wireless 2.4GHz transceiver and all appropriate digital audio interfaces, creating a complete digital wireless audio streamer solution in a 6 x 6mm package. In addition to streaming audio up to 4Mbit/s, the nRF24Z1 also boasts a digital control information channel for transfer of control information such as volume, balance and display details. Using industry standard I2S and S/PDIF interfaces for audio, the nRF24Z1 can interface without glue logic to virtually any digital audio source, or external industry standard low cost A/D and D/A converters for analog audio input and output. Control information uses SPI or 2-wire (I2C compatible). The nRF24Z1 features a well-balanced design, where attention is paid to every detail of the audio interface and the challenging tasks of streaming CD-quality audio, with no glitches and degradation in performance in the presence of other 2.4GHz sources such as Bluetooth. The circuit has embedded voltage regulators, giving maximum noise immunity and operation from a single 2.0 to 3.6V supply.
