1. Overview
The Atmel® ATA5830N is highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK transceiver with low power
consumption available in a small 5x5mm
developed as a fully integrated low IF double quadrature receiver with an embedded
®
AVR
microcontroller including the transmit functionality with a closed loop frac-
tional-N modulator with Gauss-shaping and pre-emphasis for high data rates.

Application Note
The Atmel ATA5830N can be setup for the following frequency bands:
• 310MHZ to 318MHz
• 418MHZ to 477MHz
• 836MHz to 928MHz
The transceiver combines the functionality of Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) applications in one chip under the control of an embedded
AVR microcontroller. The flexibility of this device allows the programming of a wide
range of RKE applications, like Passive Entry Go (PEG) and Remote Start (RS)
together with the TPM applications.
The Atmel ATAK51002 evaluation kit provides a complete reference design for a
bi-directional RF system based upon the Atmel ATA5830N. It provides standalone
operation of two Atmel ATA5830N transceivers, one hand-held key fob and one connected to the Vehicle Host Controller. Unencrypted data is exchanged between the
two transceivers and is output via an RS232 connection to a PC. The raw data can be
viewed with a hyper-terminal application. The kit setup and configuration are
described in the following sections. Further information is available in the reference
documentation.

2.2 Connecting the Hardware
Prepare the Atmel® STK600 with the Atmel ATmega2560 device board as described in the
Atmel STK600 User Guide. Using a 2-wire cable supplied with the Atmel STK600, connect
RS232 SPARE pins RXD and TXD to PORTH pins PH0 and PH1 making sure RXD connects
to PH0 and TXD connects to PH1. Using the two 10-wire cables supplied with the Atmel
STK600, connect PORTA to LEDS. Using the three 10-wire ribbon cables supplied with the
CARS evaluation kit, make connections from the Atmel STK600 to the System Interface
Boards; PORTB to PB, PORTD to PD, and PORTE to PE.
Note: Be sure to properly match header alignment to pin 1 on both ends of the cable when making
these connections.
Mount the Atmel ATA5830N Transceiver Application Board to the System Interface Board taking care to align the X1 and X2 pin headers on the Transceiver Application Board to the
UHF_ X1 and UHF_X2 pin sockets on the System Interface Board. Connect monopole RF
whip antenna to the Transceiver Application Board and ensure that a jumper is installed onto
J1.
Complete the set-up by connecting supplemental 12VDC power from the wall transformer to
the mating receptacle on the Atmel STK600 and connect the USB and RS232 ports to the PC
with the supplied cables. Also install a CR2032 Li-ion coin cell battery (not included with the kit
due to governmental shipping regulations) into the hand-held key fob. Please ensure that the
“+” side of the battery is correctly aligned with the “+” on the metal battery clip on the key fob.

2.3 Device Programming
2.3.1 Atmel ATmega2560 Host Controller
Since the Atmel
ATmega2560 Host Controller must be flashed with the Atmel ATA5830N application firmware
to operate. In-System Programming of the Atmel ATmega2560 can be done using the AVR
internal SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) to download code into the flash and EEPROM memory. ISP programming requires only VCC, GND, RESET and 3 signal lines for programming.
No high voltage signals are required. The ISP programmer can program both the internal flash
and EEPROM, fuses, lock bits and calibration bytes. The ISP frequency (SCK) must be less
than 1/4 of the target clock. The ISP frequency is set by the Atmel STK600 programming dialog in AVR Studio. Refer to the Atmel STK600 User Guide for additional information.
To program the Atmel ATmega2560 on the device card installed in the Atmel STK600, connect a 6-wire cable between the two 6-pins ISP headers on the Atmel STK600. See Figure 2-7
and Figure 2-8 below. Ensure that the VTARGET jumper is mounted, and that the voltage is
the within the operating range for the target device.

Using AVR Studio®4, program the Atmel® ATmega2560 on the Atmel STK600 by selecting
Tools/AVR Programming to bring up the ISP menus. Select and specify the Tool, Device,
Interface, and Target Voltage as shown below and browse to locate files titled
“ATAK51002_V1_STK600.hex” and “ATAK51002_V1_STK600.eep”. The files can be found in
the CD-ROM supplied with the CARS kit. Be sure to set the target voltage for 5.0V when programming the Atmel ATmega2560. Refer to Figure 2-9 for a screen shot of the properly
completed ISP programming menu along with a view of proper fuse settings.

gram the Atmel ATA5830N hand-held key fob. Run the “ATA5830include2AVRstudio.exe”
executable file included on the CD-ROM with the Atmel ATAK510020 kit. Once the installation
has completed, start AVR Studio4, install a CR2032 battery into the key fob (not included with
the kit) and connect the included 6-wire ISP cable between the Atmel STK600 ISP programming header and the ISP header on the Atmel ATA5830N key fob. Connect to the key fob
through the AVR Studio4 using the Atmel STK600 and configure the device from the “Main”
menu tab for programming with the Device set to “ATmegasigma20”, Programming Mode set
to “ISP Mode” and the ISP frequency to 125kHz (the device may not program at higher frequencies). Figure 2-10 is a screen capture of the correct device setting.
Note: In order to read the device Signature Byte, read/program the fuse settings or program the

4 must be updated with the Atmel ATA5830N hardware profile in order to pro-
flash/EEPROM, the Atmel ATA5830N must be operating in the Idle Mode (default state is Sleep
Mode). To wake the device up from Sleep, PRESS and HOLD any key fob button for the duration of the read, write or programming operations.

Next, program the Atmel
ATA5830N fuses settings using the “Fuse” menu tab. Ensure that
the SPIEN and EESAVE fuses are set with all others unchecked, see Figure 2-11 on page 9.
