基于ATmega128RFA1设计的低功耗ZigBee解决方案

Atmel公司的ATmega128RFA1是低功耗CMOS 8位MCU,采用AVR增强性RISC架构和2.4GHz ISM频段高数据速率收发器,吞吐量达1 MIPS per MHz .无线收发器的数据速率从250 kb/s到高达2 Mb/s,还提供帧处理,有杰出的接收灵敏度(-100dBm)和高发送功率(达3.5dBm),主要应用在ZigBee® / IEEE 802.15.4-2006/2003,通用的2.4GHz ISM频段, F4CE, SP100, WirelessHART, ISM和IPv6 / 6LoWPAN.本文介绍了ATmega128RFA1主要特性, 基本应用电路图和相应的材料清单(BOM),以及扩展特性应用电路图和评估板特性与电路图.

The ATmega128RFA1 is a low-power CMOS 8 bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture combined with a high data rate transceiver for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It is derived from the ATmega1281 microcontroller and the AT86RF231 radio transceiver.

By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the device achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

The radio transceiver provides high data rates from 250 kb/s up to 2 Mb/s, frame handling, outstanding receiver sensitivity and high transmit output power enabling a very robust wireless communication.
