Overview

The Atmel PCMCIA Bluetooth card is a high performance solution which
supports the Bluetooth v1.1 standard and allows for communication
between a desktop or notebook PC, equipped with a PCMCIA slot, and
other Bluetooth devices.

The card is based on Atmel’s AT76C551 baseband controller and Silicon
Wave’s integrated direct conversion SiW1502 RF transceiver. The
AT76C551 is a single-chip controller which provides all the necessary func-
tionality for high data rate, short range wireless communications in the free
ISM band. It implements the Bluetooth specification and in conjunction with
a 2.4 GHz transceiver provides a low-chip count networking solution for a
wide range of digital communication devices and computer peripherals.

The card comes as a part of Atmel’s Bluetooth Evaluation Kit which can
be used in order to evaluate Atmel’s Bluetooth solution.
