Scalable and Integrated Solutions Full-Speed USB and USB On-the-Go Consumers’ desire for more engaging, easy-to-use and upgradeable products is driving embedded designers to add USB capabilities to their designs. Microchip provides designers with a scalable choice of integrated USB solutions across 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers ranging from the space-saving 14-pin devices to the feature-rich 100-pin USB On-the-Go (OTG) products.
USB Development Tools and Software Support Supporting USB Development from Concept to Prototype Microchip’s support for USB applications includes MPLAB® tools for all USB PIC MCUs, peripheral applications for the 8-bit PIC16F, PIC18F family, and device, embedded host and OTG applications for the 16-bit PIC24F, PIC24E and dsPIC33E and 32-bit PIC32 families.
Ethernet Solutions with Integrated MAC and PHY Offering the World's Smallest Embedded Ethernet Controller Microchip’s Ethernet solutions address the growing demand for embedded Ethernet products, enabling easy network connectivity for cost-sensitive embedded designs.
Wireless Solutions Targeting the Need for Low Data Rate, Low Cost Wireless Sensor and Control Networks Wireless communication technologies have been common place in homes and industry for many years. Recent Smart Grid initiatives have created a renewed demand for standardized, low data rate, low power, wireless technology in metering, home, business and industrial automation markets. As a result, Microchip offers many IEEE 802.11™, IEEE 802.15.
LIN and CAN Bus Solutions Taking Communication and Connectivity in Deeply Embedded Designs to the Next Level Local Interconnect Network (LIN) LIN/J2602 is a communication standard designed to address low-cost networking within vehicles. LIN enables a cost-effective communication network for lower speed switch, smart sensor and actuator applications within the vehicle where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN is not required.
Development Resources and Other Options Providing Comprehensive System Solutions CAN/LIN Development Tools With easy-to-use development systems and application notes, Microchip provides a total CAN/LIN solution that enables low-risk product development, lower total system cost and faster time to market for high performance embedded designs.
