Wireless Microcontroller (MCU) Products

In an increasingly connected world, wireless technology has become a necessary function in most applications. From connected homes to smart cities to commercial and industrial automation, wireless microcontrollers provide a reliable and efficient way to communicate between devices and the cloud.

Our wireless MCUs offer the same performance and functionality as our broader 32-bit MCUs while supporting popular wireless technologies. Add even more connectivity to your design using our rich set of peripherals and support for wired connectivity including CAN/CAN FD, USB and Ethernet.

With our proven MCU performance and extensive hardware and software ecosystem, you can easily design next-generation products while reducing your overall cost.

Benefits of Wireless Microcontrollers

Designing and building wireless products is complicated. Choosing an MCU with wireless functionality can reduce the difficulty of IoT design, helping you get to market faster with lower production costs.

All-In-One Solution

If your project requires flexible connectivity, a wireless MCU might be a good choice. Wireless MCUs offer multiple functions, including connectivity, in a single chip. In general, decreasing the number of chips (MCU or otherwise) in a design reduces the design difficulty and cost. The primary reason is because the manufacturer is doing some of the work for you. With the right wireless MCU, all you need to do is to power the device on and connect it.

No Radio Frequency (RF) Expertise Needed

To further simplify the design process, consider a wireless MCU module. Although a wireless MCU IC can connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other technology, it needs an antenna to broadcast that connection. On its own, building an antenna that performs well is a challenge. Add the necessary certifications and designing your own antenna becomes even more difficult and costly.

Wireless MCU modules remove the RF obstacles associated with IoT design. Our modules require no RF expertise because they include antennas built for optimal RF performance. We further simplify the RF process by getting our modules pre-certified in many countries so that you can bypass the certification process and focus on your product.

All-In-One Support

To further accelerate your development, our easy-to-use integrated development environment and MPLAB® Harmony embedded software development framework allow you to work directly with the wireless stack. Rapid prototyping is a reality when you can use one tool to program your application including wireless connectivity.
