Microchip Adds 12 Products to its Wireless Portfolio to Further Reduce Barriers to Bluetooth® Integration for Designers at Every Skill Level

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 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.

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 (more info).
