Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail PLUS
DAUGHTER BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Overview
1.1
INTRODUCTION
The MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a demonstration and development
board for low-power, 2.4 GHz ISM-Band IEEE 802.15.4™ RF Transceiver.
The MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into Microchip’s
many demonstration and development boards. For example, the MRF24XA
PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is appropriate for 8-bit microcontroller development using the PIC18 Explorer Development Board (DM183032) or for 16-bit or 32-bit
microcontroller development using the Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).
To download the supporting software stacks and application notes, refer to Microchip
web site www.microchip.com/wireless.
This chapter discusses these topics:
• MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board Contents
• MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board
1.2
MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD CONTENTS
The ordered package contains the MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board
(AC164152-1).
1.3
MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD
The MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a complete ultra low-power, 2.4
GHz IEEE 802.15.4 wireless transceiver. The features are shown in Figure 1-1.
CAUTION
Power to the MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board should be in the range
of 1.5–3.6V. Ensure that the development or demonstration board that the MRF24XA
PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is plugged into meets this voltage requirement;
otherwise, damage to the MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board might
occur.

• PICtail Plus Connector (J301) – 30-pin card edge connector for connecting to
the 16-bit and 32-bit development boards’ PICtail plus connector.
• PICtail Connector (J302) – 28-pin right angle connector to connect to the 8-bit
development board PICtail connector.
• MRF24XA and RF Balun – MRF24XA (IC200) low-power, 2.4 GHz ISM-Band
IEEE 802.15.4™ RF Transceiver with extended proprietary features and RF
balun.
• Power Disconnect/Current Measure Jumpers (JP_CUR1/JP_CUR2) – Two
2-pin headers are connected in parallel. A shunt on one of the two headers connects power to the MRF24XA transceiver. A current meter can be placed on the
open header and when the shunt is removed from the opposite header, current
consumption can be measured without interrupting power. A useful cable that can
be connected to the 2-pin header and current meter, using banana plugs, is the
XLP Current Measurement Cable (AC002023).
• GPIO Connect/Disconnect Jumpers (JP_GPIOx) – JP_GPIO2 through JP_GPIO0 jumpers connect the appropriate GPIO pins of MRF24XA to the
PICtail/PICtail Plus connectors. Jumpers can be removed if GPIO functions are
not needed.
• EUI Node Identity Serial EEPROM (IC300) – Contains a unique IEEE EUI
address. For more information, refer to the “2K SPI Bus Serial EEPROM with
EUI-48™ Node Identity Data Sheet” (DS22123).

Chapter 2. Getting Started
2.1
INTRODUCTION
The MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into Microchip’s
many demonstration and development boards. This allows the developer to choose the
microcontroller that best suits the customer’s development environment.
The PICtail connector right-angle header, J302, can be plugged into the PIC18
Explorer Development Board (DM183032). The PICtail Plus card-edge connector,
J301, can be plugged into Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).
This chapter describes how the MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be
plugged into the PIC18 Explorer and Explorer 16 Development Boards.
This chapter discusses these topics:
• Plugging into the PIC18 Explorer Development Board
• Plugging into the Explorer 16 Development Board
• Downloading and Running the Demo Program
2.2
PLUGGING INTO THE PIC18 EXPLORER DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into the PICtail
connector of the PIC18 Explorer Development Board, J3, and then align pin 1 to RE2
as shown in Figure 2-1.
CAUTION
Ensure that the PIC18F87J11 PIM is plugged into the PIC18 Explorer Development
Board. This sets the system VDD voltage to 3.3 volts which is required by the
MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board.

PLUGGING INTO THE EXPLORER 16 DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into the Explorer
16 Development Board as shown in Figure 2-2.
The MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board’s 30-pin card edge connector is
plugged into the top of the PICtail Plus connector. This will connect to the SPI Port 1 on
the PIC® microcontroller that is plugged into the Plug-In Module (PIM) socket.
The MRF24XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board’s 30-pin card edge connector is
plugged into the middle of the PICtail Plus connector. This will connect to the SPI Port
2 on the PIC microcontroller that is plugged into the PIM socket.
