INTRODUCTION
Developing wireless applications can be challenging.
Apart from Radio Frequency (RF) circuit designs, the
firmware development process may require the devel-
opers to understand the details of RF transceivers, as
well as the different wireless communication protocols.
Microchip has developed a way to handle the complex
RF hardware or communication protocol stack software
development, or both, which enables wireless applica-
tion developers to focus on their own application devel-
opment. This type of wireless communication is
achieved through a concise, yet powerful communica-
tion programming interface in the application layer
called MiApp which is defined in this application note.
The MiApp specification defines the programming
interfaces between the application layer and Microchip
proprietary wireless communication protocols. The
MiApp programming interface is implemented in two
ways: as configuration parameters defined in the con-
figuration file, and as a set of function calls to the Micro-
chip proprietary wireless communication protocols.
Complying with the MiApp specification defined in this
application note, applications can use any Microchip
proprietary wireless protocols. With little or no modifica-
tion in the application layer, software development can
be easily changed between a proprietary P2P/Star
topology connection protocol to a full Mesh proprietary
networking protocol for small or big networks, depend-
ing on the application needs.

The MiApp specification benefits wireless application
developers in multiple ways:
Wireless application development focuses on its
application. Complex RF or protocol consider-
ations are transparently handled by the MiApp
programming interface.
The MiApp specification allows maximum flexibil-
ity to choose a wireless protocol at any stage of
application software development with little effort,
thus greatly lowering the risk of software develop-
ment. Application requirement changes in net-
working capabilities have little or no impact in
application development.
MiApp uses the same control interface for
Microchip wireless proprietary protocols. Once
you are familiar with MiApp, you can apply that
knowledge to the development of another applica-
tion even if it has a completely different network-
ing capability requirement.
By communicating to the Microchip proprietary
protocols, MiApp indirectly talks to the Microchip
RF transceivers through the MiMAC interface. As
a result, MiApp indirectly enables the wireless
application developers to switch between
Microchip RF transceivers through MiMAC. This
flexibility, in turn, further reduces the development
risk of the wireless application project.
FEATURES
The MiApp programming interface has the following
features:
Easy to learn and use
Powerful interface to meet most requirements
from wireless applications
Little or no extra effort to migrate the wireless
application between Microchip proprietary
wireless protocols
Minimum footprint impact
CONSIDERATIONS
The MiApp specification is designed to support Micro-
chip proprietary wireless communication protocols.
Once a wireless application is implemented by the
MiApp programming interface, the Microchip RF trans-
ceivers are also supported through standardization in
MiMAC, the module defined in the Media Access Con-
troller (MAC) layer.
MiMAC standardizes the interface between Microchip
wireless protocols and Microchip RF transceivers.
MiMAC makes Microchip RF transceivers interchange-
able with little or no change in the software application
code. For more information on MiMAC, refer to the
Application Note AN1283 Microchip Wireless MiWi™
Media Access Controller - MiMAC” (DS00001283).
MiMAC regulates the lower interface of the Microchip
proprietary wireless protocols, while MiApp regulates
the higher interface of the Microchip proprietary wire-
less protocols. Working together, both MiMAC and
MiApp provide wireless application developers the
maximum flexibility to choose the RF transceivers and
wireless communication protocols at any stage of soft-
ware development, thus further minimizing the risk of
software development.The block diagram in Figure 1
shows the Microchip Wireless MiWi™ stack offerings.
There are three layers of configurations for application,
protocol stacks and RF transceivers. Application con-
figuration may change between devices in the same
application according to their hardware design, role in
the application and network. Wireless application
developers tend to do the majority of the configuration
in the application layer. Protocol configurations fine-
tune the behavior of the protocol stack. The majority of
protocol stack configurations define the timing and
routing mechanism for the chosen wireless protocol.
Transceiver configurations define the frequency band,
data rate and other RF related features of the RF trans-
ceiver. The default settings for the protocol and RF
transceiver configurations may work with the applica-
tion without any modification. The application configu-
rations, however, usually need to be changed to fit the
needs of different wireless applications.
