3 Overview
8321A–MCU Wireless–10/11
Typical values contained in this datasheet are based on simulations and testing.
Minimum and maximum values are available when the radio transceiver has been fully
characterized.
The Atmel AT86RF232 is a low-power 2.4GHz radio transceiver designed for consumer
ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4, RF4CE, 6LoWPAN, and 2.4GHz ISM band applications. The
radio transceiver is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components except
the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip. Therefore, the
AT86RF232 is particularly suitable for applications like:
 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee systems
 RF4CE systems
 6LoWPAN systems
 Wireless sensor networks
 Residential and commercial automation
 Health care
 Consumer electronics
 PC peripherals
The AT86RF232 can be operated by using an external microcontroller like Atmel AVR
microcontrollers. A comprehensive software programming description can be found in
reference [6], AT86RF232 Software Programming Model.
