Atmel Single Chip Wireless Solution - ATmega128RFA1
Single-Chip Solutions
The 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, and the most efficient device on the market. It delivers a robust combination of low current consumption in all operating modes; degradation-free supply voltage range down to 1.8V; and fast wake-up time from SLEEP mode to active modes. A variety of power-down modes, such as a wake-on-radio feature, which keeps RF transceiver active while the microcontroller sleeps, further enhance efficiency.
Boost Your Overall System Performance
The radio interface offers a unique hardware feature set to boost the overall system performance and to support a wide range of IEEE 802.15.4-compliant applications. An antenna diversity feature enhances reliability by automatically selecting the best signal from two antennas for each incoming frame. The device supports the control of external power amplifiers for range extension. High data rate modes up to 2Mbit/s are available to support general purpose 2.4GHz ISM applications.
A low-power single-chip design lets you implement the latest battery driven systems, save board space, and reduce bill of materials (BOM). System development is supported by the free Atmel software stacks, libraries and hardware evaluation and development kits. Supported by the Atmel QTouch® Library, ATmega128RFA1 makes it easy to combine capacitive touch functionality with RF in a single chip.
