Getting Started with the ATA8520-EK1-E Kit Figure 1-1 shows the components which are included in the evaluation kit. The kit includes ● A single PCB ATAB0101A with ● ● An Atmel® ATA8520D SIGFOX™ transceiver device ● An Atmel ATmega328P AVR® microcontroller at 8MHz ● An AT30TS75A temperature sensor with TWI An 868MHz monopole antenna for connection to the SMA connector The kit requires an external power supply or battery for 3.0V to 3.3V at 50mA which is not included in the kit. Figure 1-1. ATA8520-EK1-E Kit Components The 868MHz monopole antenna is connected to the SMA connector of the PCB and the external power supply or battery has to be connected to connector X1. Caution: Ensure correct polarity at the connection to avoid damage to the equipment. The PCB has no reverse polarity protection for the power supply connection. The kit comes with preconfigured devices for starting the Flash application of the Atmel ATmega328P once the power is applied. This application controls the RF telegram transmission and reads out the temperature sensor at one-hour intervals or when pressing the SW1 button. The red LED1 starts blinking for about 7-8s, i.e. during telegram transmission. The device then enters power-down mode until a wake-up from the internal timer or a button press occurs. Every fifth transmission is executed as an uplink/downlink request, i.e. it will first transmit the RF telegram with sensor data and requests a payload data packet from the SIGFOX cloud via a base station. The execution of these request will take about 40-50s. The Atmel ATA8520D device includes the SIGFOX ID and PAC registration code (see label attached to PCB) to register the kit with the user's account for the SIGFOX back end. The user has to open a SIGFOX cloud account to access the back end. From this account the data payload transmitted from the devices can be retrieved in various ways as described in the SIGFOX online help. An Atmel debugger (Atmel JTAGICE3 or Atmel ICE), which can be connected to connector XISP1, is required for application development. Please see the marker for pin1 to connect with the correct orientation. The debugger can only be used if Atmel Studio 6 is installed in the front end. Atmel Studio 6 can be downloaded from http://www.atmel.com with additional user instructions and tools. The documentation for the kit components and for the software is included in the tool pack zip folder [7] which can be downloaded from the Atmel website [5]. The kit and the boards are preprogrammed and temperature calibrated to operate at room temperature (24°C). For operation with a wider temperature range a temperature calibration as described in “ATAN0142 - ATA8520D Crystal Calibration” has to be applied. This is mandatory to comply with the CE certification for the kit and boards and is valid for a temperature range of –20°C to +55°C. ATAN0104 [APPLICATION NOTE] 9373E–AUTO–11/15 3 2.

ATA8520D SIGFOX Certified Transceiver The Atmel ATA8520D SIGFOX™ transceiver includes the SIGFOX protocol library and a SPI communication interface for controlling device operation. The transceiver buffer of the device is loaded with a max. of 12 bytes of payload data for transmission in the 868MHz ISM band. The ATA8520D device can also receive payload data with 8 Bytes from the SIGFOX cloud when transmitting an uplink/downlink request. The Atmel ATA8520D device is certified by SIGFOX to participate in their network. A second certification step for the module or system including antenna is also required with a classification of the module or system RF performance, i.e. radiated RF output power. As a result, the RF path including antenna must also have SIGFOX certification. The key parameters for the RF link are: ● RF channels: 868.0 to 868.6MHz for uplink and 869.4 to 869.65MHz for downlink ● ● ● ● ● RF output power: max. 14.5dBm RF sensitivity: –126dBm Data rate: 100bit/s with DBPSK modulation for uplink and 600bit/s with GFSK modulation for downlink Data payload: max. 12byte with LSB first for uplink and 8 bytes for downlink Duty cycle: max. 5 telegrams/hour, i.e. < 1% for uplink and max. 4 telegrams/day for downlink The data transmission is AES encrypted. The SIGFOX ID and PAC registration code are printed on a label attached to the PCB and can also be read out from the device using the SPI command interface. This ID and code are required for registering the device with the user's account for the SIGFOX back end. ATAN0104 [APPLICATION NOTE] 9373E–AUTO–11/15 7 5.

This will reduces the mean current consumption to ~10 to 20µA (see Table 5-1 for 5 messages per day). In this mode the sensor power is switched off and the Atmel® ATA8520D device is in OFF mode and the MCU only wakes up by pressing the button, applying an external interrupt signal or from the internal Timer2 interrupt. Figure 5-2 shows the typical current consumption profile from the different operating modes of the Flash application during a telegram transmission. This allows the calculation of a mean current consumption depending on the wake-up intervals. The shown current profile is a typical profile and depends on the Flash application of the Atmel ATmega328P device and the attached sensors. During the telegram transmission the MCU is performing the LED flashing to indicate activity. This increases the current consumption and can be replaced by setting the MCU in power-down mode. When the transmission is finished an event is generated on pin PB6 of the ATA8520D which can be used to wake-up the MCU. Figure 5-2. Standalone Mode Current Consumption at 24°C Table 5-1 summarizes battery service life for a typical Lithium battery which can be used with the ATAB0101A. When selecting the battery, it is important to know the peak current consumption which has to be supplied by the battery cells. It is assumed that the battery voltage drops from the initial value of 3V down to 2V at the end of its service life. The self-discharge is defined by the manufacturer as typically 1% per year at an ambient temperature of 20°C. Table 5-1. Battery Life at 20°C Battery Lifetime (Days and Years) 3V Lithium Battery (1800mAh) Messages/Day Note: 10 1.

ATAN0104 [APPLICATION NOTE] 9373E–AUTO–11/15 When operating in uplink/downlink mode the transmission and reception will take about 40 to 50 seconds. In this period the device will first send a data telegram three times as shown in Figure 5-2, followed by an idle mode with about 4.5mA current consumption for about 20s and will then enter the receive mode for about 20s with 19mA current consumption. Finally a confirm telegram is sent for about 2s. This uplink/downlink mode is only possible for max. 4 transmissions/day and has to be added to the Mean Current consumptions in Table 5-1. During the uplink/downlink operation the MCU can be placed in power-down mode and can wake-up by the event of the ATA8520D. 5.2 Connector Description The PCB has several connectors which are used differently depending on the PCB configuration. Table 5-2 summarizes the connectors and how different PCB versions are used. The placement of the connectors at the PCB is shown in Figure 5-1 on page 9.

The button SW1 is connected to port PD6 on Atmel ATmega328P and to the connectors X2/pin4 and X6/pin7 and can be read by the MCU application. The PCB contains a temperature sensor connected to the TWI bus of the MCU and in addition two footprints for additional sensors, i.e. an air pressure sensor and a humidity sensor device. With the TWI connector X8 additional sensors can be connected as long as the current on the 3.3V supply will not exceed 50mA. The PCB contains also a AES crypto device connected to the SPI bus which can be controlled from the MCU or from the RF device. Currently only the MCU will control this device using the AES_NSS signal for the chip select. This chip select is connected to port pin PD7 and to the connectors X2/pin10 and X6/pin8.

The main differences are found in the CPU and system and Timer2 clock and sleep modes. Table 6-1. Flash Application Differences Feature ATA8520-EK1-E ATA8520-EK2-E Xplained Mini ATA8520-EK3-E Xplained Pro Oscillator and CPU clock Internal 8MHz RC oscillator External 16MHz clock External 32.768kHz crystal Timer2 External 32.768kHz crystal Internal system clock 16MHz Internal system clock 48MHz Sleep mode Power down mode Idle in main loop Idle in main loop System clock 8MHz 16MHz 48MHz The source code for all applications is available within the tool pack distribution [7]. The program flow for the Flash application is illustrated in Figure 6-1. The application first initializes all required peripherals such as pins, timers, SPI, ADC, UART, TWI and the ATA8520D SIGFOX transceiver by reading out the ID/PAC information required for SIGFOX™ registration. This ID/PAC data is send via the UART interface to a PC terminal application. The Timer2 is used as a real-time clock and uses either the ● External 32.768kHz crystal for the ATA8520-EK1-E kit or the ● Internal system clock for the ATA8520-EK2-E and ATA8520-EK3-E kits. Timer2 is configured to wake up the MCU every hour or every 15 minutes. Pressing button SW1 also causes the MCU to wake up. The temperature sensor is powered up and read out and after this a data telegram is transmitted. The device then enters power-down mode again until the next wake-up by the RTC (or manually by pressing SW1). Figure 6-1.
