Remote Controls
The Atmel® remote control technology supports your audio and video design applications. Choose from a wide variety of remote control interfaces for your docking solutions. Take advantage of low-cost, easy-to-implement remote control applications using the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 wireless Atmel AVR® microcontroller with ZigBee® RF4CE certification. Atmel is among the first to have our wireless platform ZigBee RF4CE certified.
Features and Benefits
- Wireless capacitive touch remote control based on single-chip wireless AVR microcontroller simplifies PCB design
- Eliminate line-of-site barriers with the Atmel ZigBee RF4CE certified wireless platform
- Atmel SleepWalking™ Intelligent Peripherals significantly reduce power consumption
- High-speed data transfer between remote control microcontroller and peripherals with reduced processor overhead
- Tightly coupled dual port SRAM in all AVR32 microcontrollers allows fast computation without latencies from pipeline stalls or system bus arbitrations
- The patented capacitive touch acquisition methods, Atmel QTouch® and Atmel QMatrix™, provide more choices for buttons, sliders, and wheels with a small or large number of keys
- Atmel FlashVault™ Code Protection creates secure on-chip storage for secret code and software intellectual property
- Atmel CryptoAuthentication™ provides secure authentication and storage
Atmel solutions enable you to build complete wireless environments with a capacitive touch remote control based on either single-chip wireless AVR microcontroller, or using an Atmel microcontroller with external low-power IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceivers. For Universal Remote Control, use an Atmel microcontroller that offers an embedded LCD controller. For joystick applications for gaming, the Atmel AT91SAM product line offers benefits such as high performance, low-power, and system-level integration. Atmel remote control solutions will help to enhance your RF network with a very optimized bill-of-materials (BOM), with one chip to handle wireless plus touch.
