RF Single-chip SolutionThe IEEE 802.15.4-compliant Atmel single-chip combines the industry’s leading AVR® microcontroller and a best-in-class 2.4GHz RF transceiver to deliver the industry’s best single-chip design.

The ATmega128RFA1 is the leading device in this new single-chip family. The combination of low current consumption in all operating modes, a degradation-free supply voltage range down to 1.8V and fastest wake-up time from SLEEP mode to active modes make the ATmega128RFA1 to the most power efficient device in the market. Various power-down modes including the wake-on-radio feature en-able further power optimizations, like keeping the RF transceiver active while the microcontroller sleeps.For more details on Atmel’s RF Single-chip solution, visit www.atmel.com/wireless/singlechip.

Boost your overall system performanceThe radio interface offers a unique hardware feature set to boost the overall system performance and to support a great variety of IEEE 802.15.4-compliant applications. The radio link reliability is additionally improved when using the antenna diversity feature which automatically selects the best from two anten-nas for each incoming frame. The device supports the control of external power amplifiers for range extension. High data rate modes up to 2 Mbit/s are available addressing general purpose 2.4GHz ISM applications.

Supported by the QTouch® Library, ATmega128RFA1 makes it easy to com-bine capacitive touch functionality with RF in a single chip. For more details on QTouch Library, visit www.atmel.com/QTouchLib.

TransceiversEfficient wireless applications require high-performance and low-power components. Atmel transceivers deliver the leading RF link budget with the industry lowest power consumption.

700/800/900 MHz TransceiverThe AT86RF212 is a low-power, low-voltage RF transceiver for the regional 700/800/900 MHz frequency bands available in China, Europe and North America. This transceiver offers an extreme 120 dB link budget (-110 dBm receiver sensitivity / +10 dBm transmit power) designed for low-cost IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee®, and high data rate ISM applications.

2.4GHz TransceiversThe AT86RF230 is a low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver specially designed for low cost IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee and 6LoWPAN applications. The AT86RF230 is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip.

The AT86RF231 is a feature rich, low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver designed for industrial and con-sumer IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN and high data rate 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. The transceiver is a true SPI-to-antenna solution, including features like antenna diversity and onboard AES encryption. All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capaci-tors are integrated on-chip.

The low-power single-chip design enables designers to implement new generation of battery driven systems, save board space and to bring down the overall system Bill of Material (BoM). System development is supported by Atmel’s free software stacks, libraries and hardware evaluation and development kits.

Using hardware features like antenna diversity or external power amplifier support, you can boost the outstanding transceiver per-formance even further to increase network reliability and RF range of your system. Beside IEEE 802.15.4-compliant applications, the transceiver family offers on-air data rates up to 2 Mbit/s for general purpose ISM applications. Pin compatibility ensures an easy transi-tion between devices or frequency bands.

Free software suites, various hardware evaluation and development kits and modules enable your rapid system development and prototyping.

Atmel offers the most feature rich IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceiver family for the regional 700/800/900 MHz and the worldwide 2.4GHz frequency bands addressing wireless applications.
