Evaluation Kit Atmel REB232ED-EK

Detailed Description

AT86RF232 is a feature-optimized wireless transceiver for consumer applications in the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band.

It is ideal for, low complexity, peer-to-peer wireless applications like remote controls, health and fitness devices, toys, game controllers, and others. Radio transceiver features like hardware accelerators for IEEE 802.15.4 signal processing or advanced features like AES and antenna diversity can easily be evaluated with the REB232ED-EK kit. In addition it serves as a reference design for derived product developments.

The kit provides an ideal platform to:

• Evaluate the outstanding performance of AT86RF232 transceiver, namely its industry leading receiver sensitivity and ultra-low current consumption
• Evaluated the transceiver's antenna diversity feature
• Rapidly develop IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless applications using AVR2025: IEEE 802.15.4 MAC software package
