Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000A is version A of document DS30000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for current
devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the revision
of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site;
http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
When contacting a sales office, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include literature number) you are
using.

Interface Description
The MRF24WG0MA and MRF24WG0MB are low-
power, 2.4 GHz, IEEE 802.11-compliant, surface
mount modules with all associated RF components –
crystal oscillator, bypass and bias passives with inte-
grated MAC, baseband, RF and power amplifier, and
built-in hardware support for AES, and TKIP (WEP,
WPA, WPA2 security). The modules also provide
acceleration for hosts running WPA-EAP application
security. The integrated module design frees the
designer from RF and antenna design tasks and regu-
