2.6 Miscellaneous

  • All unused or unconnected pins must be configured as Input with Pull-up. This helps to ensure the design achieves the lowest power consumption.
  • It is required to add a resistor of value 30 kΩ ±1% to the EXTRA_48K pin 12 of the PIC32CX1012BZ24032 device. This is required to set the internal bias voltage.

  • The user is free to choose the peripheral functionality based on their design needs. Refer to the PPS functionality described in the High-performance 2.4 GHz Multi-protocol Wireless MCUs and Modules, supporting Bluetooth Low Energy and 802.15.4 protocols with 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4F, 2 Msps 12-bit ADC Data Sheet.
  • Add a placeholder for the RF shield in the schematic and the layout. This allows the RF shield to be added if required at a later stage of evaluation.
