Atmel announced a new RF transceiver for battery-operated wireless applications.
The AT86RF233 is optimised for industrial and consumer products that comply with ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4, IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) and high data rate 2,4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band applications.
Since target applications in these segments call for years of battery life without maintenance, a low-power, high-performance transceiver such as the AT86RF233 fits the bill. It provides transceiver current consumption of 14 mA, receiver current consumption of 6 mA and sleep current consumption of 0,02 μA.
For a complete solution, design engineers can use a low-power, high-performance Atmel AVR or an ARM processor-based microcontroller as a companion chip. Together, the AT86RF233 and an AVR XMEGA MCU can deliver a low-power, cost-optimised solution to meet the operational requirements of applications that spend most of their time in low-power sleep mode and need fast wake-up times and short, active cycles.
With support for antenna diversity, the AT86RF233 enhances RF performance and link reliability. Onboard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology ensures secure wireless end-to-end communication.
