RF Transceiver Evaluation Kit

Hardware
3.1
Transceiver Board
The transceiver base station board is available for different frequency ranges in high power
mode, that is, with an RF output power of approximately 10 dBm at 50
Ω
. The different kit ver-
sions, transceiver board ordering codes, and SPI2LPT interface board ordering codes are in the
selection guide, which can be found on the Atmel web site (Products -> Automotive & Indus-
trial -> Automotive Control -> Tools & Software). Note that the transceiver board and the
interface board have to be ordered separately.
3.2
Interface Board
The SPI2LPT interface board forms the connectivity between a parallel port of the PC and the
SPI interface of the transceiver. Furthermore, a stable 5V supply voltage is generated by means
of an on-board voltage regulator.
Figure 3-1
shows the interface board and its building blocks.
