3. Xplained Pro
Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides the full Atmel microcontroller experience. The platform
consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with Atmel
Studio, have Atmel Software Framework (ASF) drivers and demo code, support data streaming and more.
Xplained Pro MCU boards support a wide range of Xplained Pro extension boards that are connected through
a set of standardized headers and connectors. Each extension board has an identification (ID) chip to uniquely
identify which boards are mounted on a Xplained Pro MCU board. This information is used to present relevant
user guides, application notes, datasheets and example code through Atmel Studio. Available Xplained Pro
MCU and extension boards can be purchased in the Atmel Web Store1.
3.1 Hardware identification system
All Xplained Pro compatible extension boards have an Atmel ATSHA204 CryptoAuthentication™ chip mounted.
This chip contains information that identifies the extension with its name and some extra data. When an
Xplained Pro extension board is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent
to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code
examples and links to relevant documents. Table 3-1, “Xplained Pro ID Chip Content” on page 11 shows the
data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

3.2 Standard headers and connectors
3.2.1 Xplained Pro Standard Extension Header
All Xplained Pro kits have one or more dual row, 20-pin, 100mil extension headers. Xplained Pro MCU boards
have male headers while Xplained Pro extensions have their female counterparts. Note that all pins are not
always connected. However, all the connected pins follow the defined pin-out described in Table 3-2, “Xplained
Pro Extension Header” on page 11. The extension headers can be used to connect a wide variety of
Xplained Pro extensions to Xplained Pro MCU boards and to access the pins of the target MCU on Xplained
Pro MCU board directly.

ATRCB256RFR2-XPRO is limited modular approved and required separate approval for this module when
used on an application board.
User manuals for licence-exempt radio apparatus shall contain the following or equivalent notice in a
conspicuous location in the user manual or alternatively on the device or both.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
This equipment complies with radio frequency exposure limits set forth by Industry Canada for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the
device and the user or bystanders.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux radiofréquences définies par Industrie Canada pour
un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de
distance entre le dispositif et l'utilisateur ou des tiers
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-
product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital
device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
This Module is labelled with its own IC ID. If the IC ID Certification Number is not visible while installed inside
another device, then the device should display the label on it referring the enclosed module. In that case,
the final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module
IC:11019A-092007 ” (Mention IC ID) OR “Contains IC: 11019A-092007 ”
Ce module est étiqueté avec son propre ID IC. Si le numéro de certification IC ID n'est pas visible lorsqu'il est
installé à l'intérieur d'un autre appareil, l'appareil doit afficher l'étiquette sur le module de référence ci-joint.
Dans ce cas, le produit final doit être étiqueté dans un endroit visible par le texte suivant: “Contains Transmitter
Module IC: 11019A-092007 ” OR “Contains IC: 11019A-092007 ”
6.4 Using Limited Modular Certified Products
The ATRCB256RFR2-XPRO Module is certified under part 15 of FCC rules. The Modular certification category
of this module is “Limited Modular”. The End product using these modules hence has to undergo compliance
testing and receive a new FCC ID for the final product carrying these modules. Certification of the final product
