2.1.6 Power Source Selection Connector (J8)
The jumper header J8, on the WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board, is used
to select power source for the daughter board. The daughter board can be powered
either from the power supply of the base board or from the external USB supply.
Mounting the jumper in position 1-2 (pin 1 marked with overlay “BB” in the PCB) will
power the daughter board from the base board, and mounting the jumper in position
2-3 (pin 3 marked with overlay “USB” in the PCB) will power the daughter board from
the USB supply.
When the daughter board is powered from the external USB supply, it can still be inter-
faced to any base board with the PICtail/PICtail Plus connectors. The GND for the
PICtail daughter board and base board are common, and the both will operate at 3.3V.
A 5V input from the USB supply is provided to LDO (U3) to obtain the 3.3V for supplying
the daughter board.
2.1.7 Power Measurement Header (J6)
The jumper header J6, on the WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board, can be
used to measure the current consumption of the ATWINC1510-MR210PB module. The
power to the ATWINC1510-MR210PB module is routed through this header.
To measure the current consumption of the module, connect a voltmeter directly across
the pins of J6. A 1
Ω resistor is connected in parallel with the jumper header J6 which
provides 1:1 relationship between the voltage and current measured across the jumper.
2.2 PERIPHERALS
2.2.1 USB-to-UART Serial Converter (U2)
The WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board has an on-board USB-to-UART
serial bridge/converter, which is used for observing UART debug logs from the
ATWINC1510- MR210PB module. The PC console can be connected to the daughter
board using a standard-A to micro-B or micro-AB cable.
The following UART configuration to be used in the PC console:
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data: 8 bit
• Parity: None
• Stop bit: 1
• Flow control: None
2.2.2 User LED
Two user LEDs are available on the WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board
which can be turned ON and OFF. The LED can be activated by driving the connected
I/O line to GND. Ta b l e 2 - 5 provides the pinout details of the user LEDs.

2.2.4 Crypto Device - ATECC508A (U4)
The WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board contains a ATECC508A Crypto
authentication device. The I
2
C pins required for interfacing with the ATECC508A
device is connected only to the PICtail Plus connector. The ATECC508A device is inter-
faced with the host MCU through 0R resistors, R22 and R23.
The 0R resistors are not mounted in the Rev 1 of the board and users need to solder
these pads. These resistors are mounted from the Rev 1.2 of the board. The revision
of the board could be found from the text in the bottom copper layer "04-10608 REV
X.X", where X.X indicates the revision of the board.

The WINC1500 Daughter Board can be plugged into multiple Microchip Technology
demonstration and development boards. This allows the developer to choose the
microcontroller that best suits the customer's development environment.
The PICtail connector (J5) can be plugged into 8-bit demonstration and development
board, such as PIC 18 Explorer Board (DM183032). The PICtail Plus card edge
connector (J2) can be plugged into Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001).
This chapter includes the following topics:
3.1 “Plugging into PIC18 Explorer Board”
3.2 “Plugging into Explorer 16 Development Board”
3.3 “Plugging into Explorer 16/32 Development Board”
3.1 PLUGGING INTO PIC18 EXPLORER BOARD
The WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be plugged into the PICtail
connector (J3) of the PIC18 Explorer Board. Ensure that the pin1 is aligned to RE2 as
shown in Figure 3-1.
CAUTION
Ensure that the PIC18F87J11 PIM is plugged into the PIC18 Explorer Board. This sets
the system voltage V DD to 3.3V, which is required by the WINC1500 PICtail/PICtail
Plus Daughter Board.
