Product details
Overview
MA320011 from Microchip Technology is a 44-pin to 100-pin Plug-In Module (PIM) designed for the PIC32MX220F032D 32-bit microcontroller, enabling rapid evaluation on Explorer 16 Development Boards. It provides full pin mapping for USB, parallel master port (PMP), oscillator, reset, debug (PGED/PGEC), and peripheral interfaces - supporting embedded control, graphics interface prototyping, and USB device development.
For engineers reviewing the MA320011 datasheet, MA320011 pinout, MA320011 application, or MA320011 equivalent, this module serves as a hardware bridge between the 44-pin PIC32MX220F032D device and 100-pin PIM-compatible development platforms - critical for validating signal routing, power integrity, and debug connectivity prior to custom PCB design.
Technical Context
The MA320011 implements a fixed pin translation matrix defined in Microchip DS52008A, mapping all 44 device pins of the PIC32MX220F032D to corresponding 100-pin PIM header positions. It supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed signaling (D+/D−), PMP data/address/control lines (PMPD0–PMPD7, PMPRD, PMPWR, PMCS1), and dual crystal oscillator inputs (OSCI/OSCO).
No active logic or level-shifting circuitry is integrated; the module is a passive interconnect with zero-ohm resistors for configurable trace routing. All power domains (VDD, VSS, AVDD, AVSS, VCAP) and analog reference paths (CVREF, VREF+/VREF−) are routed with dedicated pins per DS52008A-page 3 schematic.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MA320011?
The MA320011 is a passive 44-pin to 100-pin Plug-In Module that enables the PIC32MX220F032D microcontroller to interface directly with Microchip's Explorer 16 Development Board. It provides verified physical and electrical connectivity for all core functions - including USB, PMP, debug, and clocking - without requiring custom adapter hardware. The MA320011 ensures signal integrity and pin alignment per DS52008A specification.
Which development boards is the MA320011 compatible with?
The MA320011 is explicitly designed for use with Microchip's Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001), which supports 100-pin PIM interfaces. It is mechanically and electrically compatible only with boards featuring the standard 100-pin male header footprint and pinout definition referenced in DS52008A. Compatibility with other 100-pin platforms is not guaranteed unless they replicate the Explorer 16 PIM pin assignment.
Does the MA320011 include any active components or level-shifting circuitry?
No, the MA320011 contains no active ICs, voltage translators, or level shifters. It consists solely of copper traces, plated-through holes, and zero-ohm resistors (R1–R32) for optional signal routing configuration - as shown in Figure 1 of DS52008A. Signal integrity relies entirely on the PIC32MX220F032D's native I/O voltage levels and drive strength.
How does the MA320011 handle power and ground distribution?
The MA320011 routes all power and ground connections as defined in the PIC32MX220F032D datasheet: two VDD pins (pins 10 and 40), three VSS pins (pins 6, 29, 39), plus dedicated AVDD, AVSS, and VCAP. This preserves the microcontroller's required power domain separation and decoupling topology - critical for stable analog performance and USB noise immunity in the MA320011-based system.
Can the MA320011 be used with other PIC32MX devices beyond the PIC32MX220F032D?
The MA320011 is specifically mapped to the PIC32MX220F032D's 44-pin pinout and signal set. While other 44-pin PIC32MX1XX/2XX devices may share similar package dimensions, differences in pin function allocation (e.g., alternate peripheral mappings, missing USB, or different PMP configurations) mean the MA320011 is not guaranteed to support them. Use requires verification against each target device's pin diagram and DS52008A Table 1 constraints.
