AC164152-1 - 

he MRF24XA PICtail™/PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a demonstration and development daughter board for the MRF24XA Low-Power, 2.4 GHz, ISM-Band IEEE 802.15.4™ RF Transceiver.

The daughter board can be 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 and 32-bit microcontroller development using the Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).

Targeted for ZigBee® and MiWi™ Development Environment wireless protocol applications, the MRF24XA is a perfect solution for low-cost, low-power and battery powered embedded wireless PAN applications.
