Atmel ATR2740 manual

Digital radio broadcasting is a relatively new radio technology, which supports a wide range of new media

services. Audio, the primary service, is enhanced by many additional new digital services including Pro-

gram Assisted Data, Electronic Program Guide, and Slide Show.

To support easy design-in of the DAB baseband processor ATR2740, Atmel® offer a comprehensive evalu-

ation kit ATR2740-Dev-Kit1. Since the kit is a complete DAB radio with excellent performance, it helps to

simplify software design activities. The system stack of Eureka-147-based digital radio (which includes

DAB, DAB+, and T-DMB) provides the ﬂexibility to implement a wide variety of services while providing a

platform for the development of future services.

Atmel has over 30 year’s experience designing digital radio solutions and offers a complete DAB solution

including an RF front end and a DAB decoding baseband. The ATR2740 DAB baseband processor is a

highly functional system-on-chip solution. Its ﬂexibility enables the implementation of application-related

tasks. This chipset forms the hardware basis for the DAB evaluation kit.

The DAB evaluation kit is a comprehensive tool,

which enables users to familiarize themselves with

the Eureka-147 family of digital radio standards. The

evaluation kit provides detailed diagnostic informa-

tion about the reception channel as well as detailed

signaling information about the service received. A

comfortable graphic user interface, installed on an

external PC or laptop, enables efﬁcient and easy use

of the evaluation kit. In addition to the testing func-

tions, the evaluation kit also operates as a standard

DAB radio, providing high quality audio. The core

of the DAB evaluation kit is a module using Atmel’s

DAB chipset, the ATR2740 base-band processor

and the ATR2732 dual-band tuner device.

The DAB evaluation kit is perfectly suited for anyone

interested in Eureka-147-based services as it pro-

vides a deeper look into the standard and extensive

testing capabilities.
