Lighting Control

In a competitive marketplace, customers demand sophisticated features and intuitive controls. Atmel® microcontrollers come with pre-tested and pre-certified software modules to speed prototyping, eliminate certification testing, keep costs in line, and improve interoperability.

Lighting Control

Features and Benefits

  • The single-chip Atmel ATmega128RFA1 supports wireless communication and touch functionality, and includes an integrated 3D accelerometer, which makes the chip a great choice for capacitive touch remote control applications.
  • Atmel XMEGA™ microcontrollers support KnX, the European standard for home and building automation that is rapidly growing in popularity in Asia and the US. The Atmel partnership with TAPKO will produce the market's first KnX-compliant capacitive touch dimming light application.
  • The embedded Atmel BitCloud® software stack offers provides a software development platform for reliable, scalable, and secure wireless applications running on Atmel wireless platforms.

Lighting Controls

  • Lighting dimming controls frequently use the KnX standard. The Atmel unique platform ports the KnX stack and application layer software on XMEGA and UC3 microcontrollers, offering a complete solution that you can use again and again.
  • Remote controls are ideal candidates for high-performance Atmel AVR® microcontrollers with or without integrated capacitive touch and wireless capabilities.


The Atmel unique design platform integrates the KnX stack and application layer software on the XMEGA and UC3 microcontrollers for a complete solution that you can use again and again.


Atmel solutions give you design choices to fit your lighting control application needs. For example, you can choose a single-chip Atmel AVR® microcontroller with integrated secure wireless and capacitive touch Atmel QTouch™ library, or a non-specific AVR microcontroller that you can match with a range of external low-power, standard-compliant transceiver options.
