INTRODUCTION
EVB-LAN9252-PICtail™ Add-On Board is used for evaluating Microchip Technology’s
LAN9252, a 2/3-port EtherCAT
®
slave controller with dual integrated Ethernet PHYs. It
is an expansion board compatible with Explorer 16 development platform.
This document details the EVB-LAN9252-PICtail Add-On Board features and its con-
nectivity to the Explorer 16 development platform. This EVB currently supports 3
plug-in modules (PIMs), namely [MA320003 (PIC32MX795F512L), MA240011
(PIC24FJ128GA010), and MA320012 (PIC32MZxxxxECx100)], on this platform.
