6.5 PA control
The PA (Power Amplifier) control is used to set the output power from the nRF24L01+ power amplifier. In
TX mode PA control has four programmable steps, see Table 17.
The PA control is set by the RF_PWR bits in the RF_SETUP register.
Conditions: VDD = 3.0V, VSS = 0V, T
A
= 27ºC, Load impedance = 15Ω+j88Ω.
