Microchip Adds to Product List

Baystreet - Tue Oct 15, 9:00AM CDT
Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) has added 20 products to its Wi-Fi® portfolio. Expanding one of the industry’s most extensive wireless connectivity product lines, Microchip offers high-performance Wi-Fi microcontrollers (MCUs), network and link controllers and plug-and-play modules designed to simplify development and speed time to market.

The company’s Wi-Fi solutions are designed to support various application needs and developer skill levels. The selection ranges from modules that are regulatory certified in several countries that require no Radio Frequency (RF) expertise and little programming to robust Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) with industrial-level features.

With Industry 4.0, the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digitized manufacturing and the age of IoT everything, the demand for wireless connectivity in commercial and industrial applications is growing at an exceptional pace. These applications typically require reliable connectivity that can withstand extreme environments that are exposed to high temperatures, background noise and obstructions. Microchip’s products are helping meet this need.

Microchip’s Wi-Fi portfolio includes:

Wi-Fi MCUs: all-in-one solution designed to combine the functionality of an MCU with reliable wireless connectivity.

Link Controllers: an SDIO interface enables the addition of Wi-Fi to Linux® MPUs.

Network Controllers: an SPI interface allows the addition of wireless connectivity to an MCU.

Plug-and-Play Modules: simplify wireless-to-cloud connectivity by sending simple text commands from an MCU over a UART interface.
