AC164138-1

The AC164138-1 is a demonstration and development daughter board for MRF89XAM8A ultra low power sub GHz surface mount transceiver module with integrated crystal, internal voltage regulator, matching circuitry and PCB antenna. The MRF89XAM8A module operates in the European 863MHz to 870MHz frequency band and is ETSI compliant.The module is surface mounted to a PICtail/PICtail Plus daughter board that plugs into multiple Microchip demonstration and development boards like the PICDEM PIC18 explorer board (DM183032) for 8bit microcontroller development, or the Explorer 16 development board (DM240001) for 16bit microcontroller development. The MRF89XAM8A is a perfect solution for low cost, low power, complete embedded wireless applications.

• The module interfaces to PIC MCU through a 3 wire serial SPI interface, 2 chip selects, 2 interrupts
• The module designed from the MRF89XA integrated ultra low power, sub GHz transceiver IC
• Compatible with (PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32) MCU's
• Supports proprietary sub GHz wireless protocols
• Conforms to the ETSI standards EN 300 220-2 V2.3.1 , EN 301 489-3 V1.4.1
• Compatible with microcontroller families (PIC16, PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC33 and PIC32)
