We'll tell you all you need to know to start evaluating and working with this product.
Bundles
Atmel® offers flexible IEEE 802.15.4-compliant bundles that make it easy to create a solution that is optimized to meet your customer needs. Simply choose the Atmel MCU that is best-suited to your application, application and combine it with one of best-in-class Atmel RF transceivers to get an optimal solution for your end product.
Advanced Communication for Metering
For example, gas and water meters are a rapidly-growing market as the Smart Grid gains maturity. RF communication is key for gas and water meters, because of the increasing availability of the AMI architecture, with the Smart Electricity Meter often acting as the gateway to the utility for meter reading. Gas and water meters require secure communication with the Smart Meter over the Home Area Network.
When paired with an 8- or 16-bit microcontroller with ultra-low power and integrated LCD segment drive support, developers can rapidly build an application that is ideal for the growing metering market.
Flexible Bundles for a Range of Applications
Atmel offers several RF bundle solutions that let you combine selected Atmel microcontrollers with an Atmel best-in-class RF transceiver: AT86RF212 for the regional 700/800/900 MHz bands, and AT86RF230 and AT86RF231 for the worldwide 2.4GHz frequency band. These transceivers are true SPI-to-antenna solutions that comprise the only requirement for the MCU to feature SPI Serial Interface.
Our flexible solutions let you to pick the microcontroller that is best-suited for your target application and combine it with the RF transceivers that features your RF requirements. The three RF transceivers are pin-compatible, making it easy when RF requirement change to replace the RF transceiver and reuse the microcontroller application.
Support for Capacitive Touch
Today’s sophisticated consumers demand intelligent touch interfaces. By choosing one of the Atmel bundles or combine any of the Atmel QTouch® Library supported tinyAVRs, megaAVRs, AVR XMEGAs or AVR UC3 devices with the Atmel Transceivers, you can easily add capacitive touch functionality to your RF applications.
Atmel offers a broad portfolio of predefined bundles with separate ordering codes.
