... While above mentioned ICs are supported by this kit, pre-configured kits are only available for 868 MHz (using ATA5760 and T5750) and 915 MHz (with ATA5761 and T5750). In addition to providing a quick, one-step, programming tool for configuring Atmel RF receivers, the Receiver Interface Board of the STK511 Starter Kit doubles as an expansion card for the STK500. This allows the user to develop software for receiver applications using any of the AVR microcontrollers sup- ported by the STK500 ...

... Configuring the Receiver Atmel RF Receivers designated ATA5743, ATA5760 and ATA5761 contain two configuration registers (Atmel RF receiver designated ATA5744 does not). These registers control the digital processing of the incoming RF signal, as well as define the receivers’ polling interval. The register values are stored in vol- atile memory and are lost when power is removed ...

... Mode Selection Unique to the Atmel ATA5743 only is the MODE input. This input changes the IC's internal basic clock cycle and can affect the polling duty cycle and Bit Check timing limits. If the receiver board was built for 315 MHz operation, the MODE input was connected to ground. If the board was built for 434 MHz, oper- ation, the MODE input was connected to + supply ...

... PortB. Also the D_CLK (Data Clock) line, provided by the RF receiver, is routed to bit 2 of PortB. For this demo, the RF signal is in Manchester format possible to decode the data by measuring edge-to-edge timing of this line, but many Atmel receivers simplify this task by recovering the clock from the DATA signal. This clock can be found on the D_CLK line and will only appear when a predefined number of logic 1s (set in the OPMODE register under Bit Check) are followed by a logic 0 ...

... Receiver Connectors As stated previously, the STK511 Receiver Interface Board was designed to interface with Atmel’s RF Receiver Application Boards. There are two rows of connectors (labeled U2) on the STK511 Receiver Interface Board that accept the Receiver Application Boards. These twelve pin connectors allow the receiver board to communicate with the STK511 Receiver Interface Board firmware, as well as route sig- nals to the sockets provided on the STK500 AVR Development board ...

... The DATA selector switch controls the routing of the bi-directional DATA line coming from the Receiver Application Board. The switch either routes the DATA line to the STK511 Receiver Interface Board's on- board microcontroller or to the Atmel AVR microcontroller on the STK500 board. The silkscreen legend designates the selected mode based on switch position. To enable the Receiver Application Board, a low pulse must be applied to the DATA line whenever power is applied (see receiver datasheet “ ...

... Programs the OPMODE and LIMIT registers via the bi-directional DATA line Holds the receiver in a polling mode via the POL/ON line Many Atmel receivers generate a Reset Marker signal, consisting of a 128 kHz square wave, upon power up. This must be cleared before normal operation can occur. Applying low pulse to the DATA line clears the Reset Marker ...

... When the Configure button is pressed, several things occur. First, the actual settings of the DIP Switches are checked by reading ports A, C, and D. The settings are then programmed into the receiver according to the Atmel bi-directional, one-wire interface protocol. The serial programming sequence is repeated twice for each of the registers. Verification of the programmed data is accomplished by checking for the presence of an acknowledge pulse ...

... Overview Supplied with this kit is a single-frequency UHF RF transmitter, operating on 315, 433.92, 868.3, or 915 MHz. It employs the Atmel T575x series of UHF transmitter ICs and the Atmel AVR microcontroller IC. The transmitter is housed in a 2-button key fob with openings in the fob that expose two LED activity- indicators, a CdS photocell, and a 6-pin header for microcontroller programming (see Figure 5-1 ...

... General This kit is intended to showcase the broad flexibility of Atmel's RF radio chip-set by offering multiple transmission modes that span frequencies across the RF spectrum from 315 MHz to 915 MHz. Conse- quently, local regulatory limitations will apply that restrict certain combinations of transmission modes and RF spectrum. These regulations generally place restrictions on carrier frequency, transmission duty cycle, harmonic content, and method of measurement ...
