The BlackBird is capable of up to 20Kbit/s Manchester FSK modulation, or 10Kbit/s
ASK. Its fractional-N frequency synthesizer gives a nice 800Hz RF resolution. An inter-
nal TX/RX switch controls the single-ended RF I/O which is capable of up to 10dBm
(adjustable) output.
The ATMEL part numbers for the different frequency versions are:
ATAB5423-3-WB
ATAB5425-3-WB
ATAB5428-4-WB
ATAB5428-8-WB
ATAB5429-9-WB
Some typical characteristics for the ATA542x BlackBird transceiver board are:
Sensitivity: approximately -102 dBm FSK and -105 dBm ASK
Data Rate: up to 20 Kbit/s FSK and 10 Kbit/s ASK
Frequency/Channels: Multi-channel operation over +/- 2.5 MHz with 800 Hz resolution
Temperature Range: -40C to 85C
Power Output: ~ 0 to ~ 10 dBm (switchable)
Supply Current:
Voltage Requirement : 3 or 6 VDC
Range : ≥ 1000 feet
The specifications for the ATA542x transceiver IC are included in its Data Sheet on the
accompanying CD.
The ATAB542x kit contains two ATAB542x transceivers (with batteries), as determined
by the ATMEL part number ordered, a Quick Start Card, and a CD. The kit is complete,
the software is preloaded, and it is ready for immediate use. Figure 1-2 shows the kit
contents.
Included on the accompanying CD are:
OFF mode: <1 uA
RX mode: 12 mA
TX mode @ ~0 dBm: 12 mA
TX mode @ ~ 8 dBm: 21 mA
