The nRF24AP1 is the most compact ANT solution with a single IC containing both the protocol as well as the RF transceiver radio. It supports the full synchronous / asynchronous serial interface to an application microcontroller along with all of the features of the ANT protocol. The AP1 supports 4 ANT channels.
The AT3 chipset includes one ANT MCU, a pairing radio chip (nRF24LO1), and the SensRcore (see sensRcore FAQs for more detail) application development platform which eliminates the need for an application MCU and firmware programming in the design of simple wireless sensors. The AT3 chipsets have 1/4/8 ANT channels and are, so-far, the lowest power consumption solution of ANT. In summary, the following features are supported by the AT3 family:
- Scanning channel
- Inclusion/exclusion list
- SensRcore
- Low/high priority search
- Lower power
- Unique serial number
- Baud rate (57,600 vs 50,000)
- Channels (up to 8)
