DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MRF24WN0MA and MRF24WN0MB are lowpower, 2.4 GHz, IEEE 802.11n compliant, surface
mount modules containing all associated RF
components: crystal oscillator, bypass and bias
passives with integrated MAC, baseband, RF and
power amplifier, and built-in hardware support for
encryption. Refer to Figure 1-1.
The integrated module design frees the designer from
RF and antenna design tasks and regulatory
compliance testing, ultimately providing faster time to
market.
The MRF24WN0MA/MB modules are designed to be
used with Microchip's MPLAB® Harmony Integrated
Software Framework. The integrated framework implements the Application Programming Interface (API)
that is used for command and control, management
and data packet traffic.
The MPLAB Harmony basic framework is available via
a free download from the Microchip web site at
http://www.microchip.com/harmony. For more information on the basic framework and available release versions, refer to “MPLAB® Harmony Release Notes and

Section 3.3, "External Antenna Types" for a listing of
approved antenna types.
The MRF24WN0MA/MB modules received the regulatory approvals for modular devices in the United States
(FCC) and Canada (IC). Modular approval removes the
need for expensive RF and antenna design, and
enables the end user to place the MRF24WN0MA/MB
modules inside a finished product without requiring a
regulatory testing for an intentional radiator (RF transmitter).
The MRF24WN0MA/MB module is an R&TTE Directive
assessed radio module for operation in Europe. The
module tests can be applied toward final product
certification and Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Hibernate
The module enters the lowest power mode when the
HIBERNATE pin is asserted low. No state information
is preserved. The MPLAB Harmony framework can
save state information in the host MCU that can be
restored after wake-up (HIBERNATE pin is asserted
high).
The module can wake-up when HIBERNATE pin is
asserted high. The module must be initialized and any
state information saved prior to Hibernate state is
restored. This process approximately takes 40 ms.

Integral PCB Trace Antenna
For the MRF24WN0MA, the PCB antenna is fabricated
on the top copper layer and covered in solder mask.
The layers below the antenna do not have copper
trace.
It is recommended that the module is mounted on the
edge of the host PCB. It is permitted for PCB material
to be below the antenna structure of the module as long
as no copper traces or planes are on the host PCB in
that area. For best performance, place the module on
the host PCB according to the details shown in
Figure 1-6.
The antenna patterns plotted in Figure 3-2 through
Figure 3-5 are the simulated results of the PCB
antenna.
FIGURE 3-2:
DS50002410A-page 16
Figure 3-2 illustrates the simulation drawing. The twodimensional (2D) radiation pattern is illustrated in
Figure 3-3, whereas Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 shows
the three-dimensional (3D) radiation patterns.
The calculated average of the radiated field is shown in
Figure 3-3. The radiation pattern for the XZ plane is
shown in red, whereas the YZ plane is shown in violet.
The most powerful radiation occurs in the XZ plane as
represented by the red pattern.
Figure 3-4 shows the relative position of the 3D radiation “donut” with reference to the module orientation.
This is a very useful guide for placement of the module
to obtain the maximum range.
Figure 3-5 shows the 3D radiation pattern with the colored distribution of the radiation magnitude. The values
range from -9 dB to +0.3 dB. This is very useful in interpreting the 2D radiation pattern.

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
