Atmel Launches RF Remote Control Transmitter Family with Maximum Output Power and Minimum Package Size.Business Editors/High Tech Writers HEILBRONN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2002 Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ) announced today the availability of a new RF data control transmitter family that provides the industry's highest output power and smallest package (TSSOP TSSOP Thin Shrink Small Outline Package TSSOP Thin Scale Small Outline Package 8) for such an IC. The innovative T575x series has been especially developed for the demands of RF low-cost data transmission systems at data rates up to 32 kBaud. They can be used in both ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) A simple digital modulation technique that uses two frequencies for 0 and 1. See frequency modulation. (Frequency Shift Keying) systems. The transmitter ICs are well suited to be operated along with Atmel's PLL PLL - phase-locked loop RF receivers T574x and T576x. Due to their wide temperature range of -40 degree C to +85 degree C/ +125 degree C, the RF transmitters can be used for a broad range of applications such as keyless-entry, consumer, industrial and TPM (1) See TP monitor. (2) (Transactions Per Minute) The number of transactions processed within one minute. See TPS. (3) (Trusted Platform M (Tire Pressure Monitoring) systems where +125 degree C is required. The three RF transmitters support all worldwide standard carrier frequencies (as listed below) with high output power. They are all pin-and functionally compatible. T5753 315 MHz 10.5 dBm T5754 433 MHz 10.0 dBm T5750 868/ 915 MHz 8.0 dBm "Designers of remote control units face the challenge that the end products need a steadily increased operating range. Atmel helps these designers by providing devices with maximum output power", Torsten Mann, Marketing Director for Automotive and Control Products at Atmel, explained. "The second key factor of such systems is that they need to be as small as possible. As RF transmitters are incorporated in mobile systems, a small design is a must to prevent inconvenience for the end user. Our extra-small TSSOP8 package is the perfect solution to help minimizing the design." The T575x family members feature integrated PLL (Phase Locked Loop) loop filter, ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine.

They are easy-to-design-in solutions due to the excellent isolation of the PLL from the power amplifier and the power supply. Only minimum external circuitry is necessary. Samples of the new transmitter ICs T575x in TSSOP8 (about 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.85 mm) packages are available now, high-volume production starts July 2002. Pricing starts at US$ 0.99 (10 k).
