INTRODUCTION
MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD CONTENTS
MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD
The MRF49XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a demonstration and develop-
ment daughter board for the MRF49XA ISM Band Sub-GHz RF Transceiver. The
daughter board can plug into multiple Microchip Technology demonstration and devel-
opment boards. For example, for 8-bit microcontroller development using the PIC18
Explorer Board (DM183032) or for 16-bit microcontroller development using the
Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).
A simple demonstration program has been written for the PIC18 Explorer Board. It may
be downloaded from the Microchip website http://www.microchip.com/wireless.
This chapter discusses:
• MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board Contents
• MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board
The MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board contains the following items:
• Two MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Boards
The daughter boards come in two frequency versions. The individual part numbers are
listed in Table 1-1.
TABLE 1-1:
The MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a complete sub-GHz wireless
transceiver. The features are shown in Figure 1-1.
MRF49XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board (433.92 MHz)
MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board (868/915 MHz)
Power to the MRF49XA PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board should be in the range
of 2.2-3.8V. Ensure that the development/demonstration board that the daughter
board is plugged into meets this voltage requirement; otherwise, damage to the
MRF49XA may occur.
