Microchip Adds 12 Products to its Wireless Portfolio that Further Reduce Barriers to Bluetooth® Integration for Designers at Every Skill Level
30 Mai 2024 - 2:00PM
System designers face many barriers when adding Bluetooth®
functionality to their products, from skill and resource
limitations to budget constraints to time-to-market pressures to
challenging performance and integration requirements. Microchip
Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP) has expanded its
Bluetooth Low Energy portfolio with 12 new products, aimed at
providing designers with an extensive array of choices to tackle
their unique challenges, effectively lowering barriers across
designs spanning from the simplest to the most advanced. These
additions include the RF-ready WBZ350 module and the PIC32CX-BZ3
SoC that offers the lowest entry point available for integrating a
Bluetooth Low Energy microcontroller (MCU) into product
designs. For a list of all 12 products see
Microchip’s
Bluetooth Low Energy webpage.
“The power of choice is increasingly critical when
adding Bluetooth to any type of product. Developers need options
and the ability to switch between them as their skills and
application needs evolve,” said Rishi Vasuki, vice president of
Microchip’s wireless solutions business unit. “No other provider
makes a Bluetooth Low Energy product that is as easy to use as our
plug-and-play modules or provides the same breadth of choices for
more advanced designs. And, this is all available from a single
supplier who reduces the need to trade functionality for simplicity
or innovation for fast development.”
In addition to its Bluetooth MCUs, Microchip
introduced the RNBD350 plug-and-play module that
reduces the cost and complexity barriers to adding Bluetooth Low
Energy connectivity to product designs. These modules minimize the
time, money and engineering resources required for RF design
optimization, regulatory certification and software development.
For experienced engineers who are looking for more flexibility,
Microchip offers robust wireless, multi-protocol MCU System-on-Chip
(SoC) options.
Sample applications for Microchip’s Bluetooth Low
Energy parts include IoT smart home and building systems,
Industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions and automotive designs. Designers
using the newly expanded Bluetooth Low Energy portfolio for
entry-level applications benefit from an easy development process,
including in-house support services and development tools, without
compromising Bluetooth functionality. They also benefit from
Microchip’s extensive MCU expertise for product selection
assistance and the opportunity to easily switch to more advanced
industrial-grade Bluetooth Low Energy options when they are ready
to address more sophisticated design challenges.
Developers can also tap into Microchip’s expanding
wireless portfolio for end-to-end solutions. The portfolio offers a
range of products in popular wireless technologies like Wi-Fi®,
Zigbee®, Thread and sub-GHz that are designed to work seamlessly
with the Bluetooth portfolio.
Development ToolsMicrochip
supports customers with a comprehensive offering of developments
tools, software and mobile app source code for iOS® and Android®
platforms, building block modules application examples and demos,
along with free design check services, to jumpstart product
development.
