Introduction
The ATA8710 is a highly integrated, low-power UHF ASK/FSK RF transmitter with an integrated AVR® microcontroller.
The ATA8710 is partitioned into three sections: an RF front-end, digital baseband and the low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller. The product is designed for the ISM frequency bands from 310 MHz to 318 MHz, 418 MHz to 477 MHz, and 836 MHz to 956 MHz. The external part count is kept to a minimum due to the very high level of integration in this device. By combining outstanding RF performance with highly sophisticated baseband signal processing, robust wireless communication can be easily achieved. The transmit path uses a closed-loop fractional-N modulator with Gauss shaping and preemphasis functionality for high data rates.
