1 All digital inputs handle up to 5.25V signal inputs. Keep in mind that the VDD of the nRF24L01 must match the
VIH of the driving device for output pins.
2 Usable band is determined by local regulations
3 Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω
4 Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 1000kbps or 2000 kbps
5 Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 10kbps and full packets
