Introduction

This user guide describes the hardware design guidelines for integrating the PIC32CX1012BZ24032 System-on-Chip (SoC) in a custom design.

This document describes the following recommended guidelines to achieve the optimized RF performance and to reduce the time to market:

Reference design and certain key aspects to be considered in the design for achieving optimized performance using the PIC32CX1012BZ24032 device
Comprehensive design checklist that can be used for self-review of the PIC32CX1012BZ24032-based design
Schematic and layout considerations for different sections of a reference design based on the PIC32CX1012BZ24032 device

Note: The snippets of schematics and layouts are provided from the reference design unless otherwise specified. Schematic and layout snippets from the WBZ450 Curiosity Board were added for reference in the description of the corresponding figure.
