B.2 MRF24J40MA PICDEM Z 2.4 GHz RF BOARD

The MRF24J40MA PICDEM Z 2.4GHz RF Board (AC163028) is shown in Figure B-1.

It features the MRF24J40MA transceiver module. The MRF24J40MA is a fully FCC, IC

and ETSI certified module. It is designed to plug into the PICDEM Z Motherboard, or to

any application, using a 12-pin connector. The 12-pin connector is available from

Samtec P/N LST-106-07-F-D.

For more information about the MRF24J40 IC and module, refer to:

“MRF24J40 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 RF Transceiver Data Sheet” (DS39776)

“MRF24J40MA 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 RF Transceiver Module Data Sheet”

(DS70329)

Features of the PICDEM Z MRF24J40 2.4 GHz RF Board include:

1. MRF24J40MA Transceiver Module (U1): An IEEE 802.15.4 compliant trans-

ceiver module.

2. Daughter Card Connector (P1): Connector P1 is a 12-pin connector used to con-

nect to the PICDEM Z Motherboard or any application with a mating connector.

It supplies 3.3V power, 4-wire SPI, reset, wake and interrupt connections to the

MRF24J40MA. The pinout is shown in Figure B-2. The 12-pin connector is a

Samtec P/N LST-106-07-F-D.
