MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail

Daughter Board

Overview

The MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a demonstration and development

daughter board for the following modules:

• MRF24J40MA IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver module (AC164134-1)

• MRF24J40MB 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 20 dBm RF Transceiver module (AC164134-2)

The daughter board can plug into multiple Microchip Technology demonstration and development

boards. For example, the board is appropriate for 8-bit microcontroller development using the

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

Development Board (DM240001).

User’s Guide

The MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board User’s Guide (DS51867) is avail-

able for download at http://www.microchip.com/wireless. The User’s Guide contains more detailed

information on the features, operation, schematics and the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

Software

Sample source code is available from the Microchip Wireless Design Environment: Microchip

Wireless Media Access Controller (MiMAC) and Microchip Wireless Application Programming

Interface (MiApp), as described in application notes AN1283 and AN1284, respectively. A Quick

Start Guide is included in the software installation package that explains the installation and

operation of the demonstration program. The Quick Start Guide is available for download from the

Microchip web site http://www.microchip.com/wireless.

Operation

Programming and configuration options for the MRF24J40MA and MRF24J40MB transceiver

modules are provided in the MRF24J40 IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver Data Sheet

(DS39776).

Sample source code is the best place to start. Refer to the compile options when enabling the

MRF24J40MA and MRF24J40MB transceiver modules.

Jumper Configuration

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

parallel. A shunt connects power to the MRF24J40 module. A current meter can be placed on the

header and the shunt removed to measure current consumption.

TIP: To prevent power interruption to the MRF24J40 module, keep the shunt on the header while

connecting the current meter. Once connected, remove the shunt to measure current.

INT2 Jumper (JP3) – For the PIC18 Explorer Board, jumpering JP3 with a shunt allows the

connection of RA5 to RB2/INT2 and enables push-button switch S2 to trigger an interrupt.

The MRF24J40MB module contains a power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA). It is

important that the MRF24J40 be configured to control the PA and LNA. Refer to Section 4.2

External PA/LNA Control in the MRF24J40 IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver Data

Sheet (DS39776). When using the sample source code, refer to the compile options to enable

the PA and LNA.

Voltage and current to the MRF24J40MA/MB PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board should be in

the range of 2.4-3.6V and capable of supplying 130 mA. Ensure that the daughter board is

plugged into a development/demonstration board that meets this power requirement; otherwise,

damage to the MRF24J40 may occur.
