ATA5423/5/8/9

The ATA542x serie is a family of RF Transceivers dedicated to the popular ISM bands

315/345/433/868/915 MHz. Such a Transceiver enables long battery life and very

dense implementation applications. It represents a major step in the integration of RF

Transceivers as it features all of the state-of-the-art functions for RF applications:

In addition to this, specific attention has been paid on the design to maintain

the current consumption to the lowest values: 10 mA in Rx and 20 mA in Tx, 10 nA

in PDN mode, less than most of the available products in the market for such

Bi-Directional Multichannel transceivers. Then, supporting highly reliable modern

protocol like Frequency Agility, Listen-Before-Talk or FHSS is not a problem anymore,

while keeping very low current consumption figures.

This makes the ATA542x the most suitable choice for Long Battery Life applications

targeting at least 10 years like Automatic Meter Reading, Alarms and Security

systems, Home Automation systems and other Wireless Remote Controllers/Telemetry

systems.

As the other Atmel’s RF Tranceivers, many digital features are available to ease the

RF developers’ life:

20 kbps / FSK or 10 kbps / ASK with 16-byte integrated buffer

Evaluation tools

Demo boards are available:

Forthcoming Stand-alone AVR based demo.
