Programming dongle description
The programming dongle is fitted ‘on-top’ (Figure 2) of the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD and
controlled through PC software. The Z1config software is documented in Z1config user
manual [1].
The dongle will mainly be fitted on the nRF24Z1 audio transmitter (ATX) board. Through
this interface the user also has full control of the audio receiver board through the control/data
RF link offered by nRF24Z1. The dongle needs to be connected to the audio receiver board
only if default configuration in the audio receiver EEPROM is to be changed.

4.1. Supply
Main power supply is fed to the nRF programming dongle through the USB interface (J101).
Supply voltage to the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD interface stage runs through J102 from the
nRF24Z1-EVBOARD. The programming dongle must hence be plugged in the EVBOARD
connector JP2 in order to have proper signal levels on J102.

4.2. nRF24Z1-EVBOARD interface
The pin-out of the interface (J102) to the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD can be found under the
nRF24Z1-EVBOARD description (EVBOARD connector JP2). The PC interface (J101) is a
standard USB B-connector interface.
4.3.
USB addressing (S101)
The dongle has an option to use 2 different USB addresses set by S101. This option is only
needed if the same USB hub is to interface two dongles. The position of S101 is hence not
important in the nRF24Z1-EVKIT unless you have two audio transmitter boards connected
to the same PC (2 different EVKIT’s) at the same time.

Figure 3: Block diagram of the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD
Due to the significant difference in functionality when the nRF24Z1 is configured in audio
transmitter mode (found at audio source side like the CD player) and in audio receiver mode
(loud speaker side) the two EVBOARD’s in the EVKIT are preset as audio transmitter and
receiver. The audio section of the two versions of the EVBOARD are populated differently
(S/PDIF and ADC/DAC section), but note that the section around nRF24Z1 (device and
external components) are identical on the two boards.
To enable convenient control of the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD from a computer, a MUX (Altera
PLD) is put on the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD to ease PC interfacing with nRF24Z1 and the on
board EEPROM. The on board mux is hence only for EVBOARD versatility and not needed
in a final design.
5.1.
Supply (J101, J103, J104)
Power supply and ground is fed to the nRF2Z1-EVBOARD either trough on-board voltage
regulators (connector J101) or directly from external supplies (J103, J104). J101 is the
primary VDD to be used with the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD.
If jumper JP101 (leave JP102) are removed, connector J104 supplies, supply to all circuitry
except on the board ADC/DAC. J104 supplies VDDA, analog power for the on board ADC or

DAC. Supply on J104 is of course only needed if the analog audio front ends (ADC/DAC) are
used.
S101 is the board ON/OFF switch for power fed through J101.
Note that VDD fed through J103 and J104 are fed directly to the circuitry ON/OFF must
hence be managed from the power supplies.
ON is shown by lit green LED’s. Note that if the supply voltage is ~2.0 V the light from the
LED will be weak.
Please note the voltage limitations on the connectors. The on-board voltage regulator accepts
an input voltage between 4.5 and 12 V, the regulated output voltage is 3.3V.
For device testing over the supply range (2.0 – 3.6V), J103 and J104 must be utilized.
The voltage on these two connectors must always be equal, and there is NO protection on
these VDD inputs. Pay special attention to the max value (3.6V) since this is also the absolute
maximum rating of the nRF24Z1.
NOTE:
Voltages above 3.6V on J104 for extended time will destroy the nRF24Z1!
5.2.
RESET
A nRF24Z1 reset is forced either by pressing the RESET button (S1) on the PCB or manually
trough the PC software to the on board EEPROM via the USB dongle connected to JP2.
When the nRF24Z1 is reset, configuration data is re-loaded from external memory and new
RF link initialization is started.
In a final application external reset circuitry is not necessary, the reset circuitry on the
EVBOARD is included to force re-load of configuration data and re-initialization of link
during testing.
5.3.
nRF24Z1 voltage and current measurements (JP13)
To enable accurate measurement of nRF24Z1 current consumption a jumper (JP13) is put in
the nRF24Z1 supply line. This jumper is never to be removed, except when replaced by an
ampere meter for measurements. The exact supply voltage to the nRF24Z1 can also be
measured on JP13.
5.4.
I/O ports
For convenience, the digital I/O signals of the nRF24Z1 are routed to separate connectors
depending on functionality. Due to sharing of pins and different functionality in audio
transmitter and audio receiver mode the same signals can be found in multiple connectors.
All signals can be accessed on JP10.

5.5.
AUDIO I/O
The available audio interfaces of the nRF24Z1 are available on separate connectors on the
EVBOARD. The components in the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD audio section (grayed out in
Figure 3) will vary depending on the mode (audio transmitter or receiver) the fitted nRF24Z1
is set in.
NOTE:
Only one of the audio interfaces (I2S or S/PDIF) may be used at one time.
5.5.1. S/PDIF (J4)
The nRF24Z1 SPDIO pin offers timing wise true S/PDIF input in audio transmitter (ATX)
mode and similar output in audio receiver (ARX) mode. The SPDIO pin operates however
with CMOS signal level so to get a true S/PDIF coax signal (0.5Vpp @ 75 Ω) a level shift
and impedance match must be done. This is realized on board on the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD
and connector J4 hence offers a true S/PDIF coax interface to external equipment.
5.5.2. I2S (JP1)
The nRF24Z1 I2S interface can be accessed directly on JP1.

By fitting jumpers on JP9 the I2S bus is also fed to an on board stereo ADC (ATX board) or a
stereo DAC (ARX board). When using the on-board data converters left and right analog line
I/O signals can be fed through J2 and J3 RCA connectors.

In audio transmitter mode the SPI master is intended for connection of external memory
(FLASH or EEPROM) holding configuration register data. This memory is connected through
the MUX on the nRF24Z1-EVBOARD.
In audio receiver mode the SPI master port is controlled via the RF control channel offered
between two nRF24Z1 linked to each other. Please refer to the nRF24Z1 product
specification [2] for further details. To interface multiple slave units, GPIO pins (connector
JP8) must be used as additional chip selects.

5.6.6. RF I/O (J1)
For convenient connection of the differential antenna output/input pins to a single ended
antenna or 50Ω test equipment, a differential to single ended matching network is included.
This network matches the 50Ω single end antenna or 50Ω test equipment impedance at the
SMA connector J1 to the recommended differential load impedance at the nRF24Z1’s RF I/O
stage (pins ANT1 & ANT2). The employed matching network introduces an insertion loss of
approximately 1dB at 2.4 GHz..
