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.

Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide

headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and

Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California

and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures

are for its PIC®MCUs and dsPIC®DSCs, KEELOQ®code hopping

devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and

PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD

USER’S GUIDE

Chapter 1. Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The MRF89XAMxA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a demonstration and

development daughter board for the following modules:

• MRF89XAM8A Ultra Low-Power Sub-GHz Transceiver Module - 868 MHz

(AC164138-1)

• MRF89XAM9A Ultra Low-Power Sub-GHz Transceiver Module - 915 MHz

(AC164138-2)

The daughter board canbe plugged into multiple Microchip Technology demonstration

and development boards. For example, the daughter board is appropriate for 8-bit

microcontroller development using the PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032) or for 16-bit

or 32-bit microcontroller development using the Explorer 16 Development Board

(DM240001).

Supporting software stacks and application notes can be downloaded from the

Microchip website http://www.microchip.com/wireless.

This chapter discusses these topics:

• MRF89XAMxA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board Contents

• MRF89XAMxA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board

1.2 MRF89XAMxA PICtail/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD CONTENTS

Depending on the development tool ordered, package will contain one of the following

development boards listed in Table 1-1.

Sub-GHz wireless transceiver. The features are shown in Figure 1-1.

Description Part Number

MRF89XAM8A PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board – 868 MHz AC164138-1

MRF89XAM9A PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board – 915 MHz AC164138-2

CAUTION

Power to the MRF89XAMxA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board should be in the

range of 2.1–3.6V. Ensure that the development/demonstration board that the

daughter board is plugged into meets this voltage requirement; otherwise, damage

to the MRF89XA might occur.

MRF89XAMxA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board User’s Guide

FIGURE 1-1: MRF89XAMXA PICtail™/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD

PICtail Plus Connector (P1) – 30-pin card edge connector for connecting to the16-bit

and 32-bit development boards’ PICtail Plus connector.

PICtail Connector (P2) – 28-pin right angle connector to connect to the 8-bit develop-

ment boards’ PICtail connector.

MRF89XAM8A (U1) – Ultra Low-Power Sub-GHz transceiver module – 868 MHz.

MRF89XAM9A (U1) – Ultra Low-Power Sub-GHz transceiver module – 915 MHz.

Power Disconnect/Current Measure Jumpers (JP1/JP2) – Two 2-pin headers are

connected in parallel. A shunt on one of the two headers connects power to the

MRF89XAMxA module. 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).

INT2 Jumper (JP3) – Jumpering JP3 with a shunt allows you to connect RA5 to

RB2/INT2, this enables push button switch S2 to trigger an interrupt. For more

information, see Section 2.2.1 “Configuring Push Button Switch S2 to RB2/INT2”.

EUI Node Identity Serial EEPROM (U3) – Contains a unique IEEE EUI address. For

more information, refer to the “2K SPI Bus Serial EEPROM with EUI-48™ Node Iden-

tity Data Sheet” (DS22123).
