SoC is based on royalty-free RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA)
In a new era of computing driven by the convergence of 5G, machine learning and the internet of things (IoT), embedded developers need the richness of Linux-based operating systems. These must meet deterministic system requirements in ever lower power, thermally constrained design environments—all while addressing critical security and reliability requirements. Traditional system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable […]
LoRa SiP includes 32-bit MCU, LoRa transceiver and software stack
LoRa (Long Range) technology is extending the reach of the Internet of Things by combining long-range wireless connectivity with low-power performance. To accelerate the development of LoRa-based connected solutions, Microchip Technology Inc. introduced a highly integrated LoRa System-in-Package (SiP) family with an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller (MCU), sub-GHz RF LoRa transceiver and software stack. The SAM R34/35 SiPs come with […]

Multi-output MEMS clock generator billed as industry’s smallest
As consumer demand for compact Internet of Things (IoT) and portable electronics devices accelerates, product designers need to find solutions that reduce application size while extending battery life. Timing devices are central to the operation of these products, but clock sources traditionally require multiple components to meet the frequency requirements of consumer devices, thus consuming […]
Development board adds Google Cloud to embedded applications
Creating cloud-connected applications traditionally can require significant time and resources for embedded designers to develop the necessary expertise in communications protocols, security and hardware compatibility. Developers often overcome these challenges with large software frameworks and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), which results in increased development time, effort, cost and security vulnerabilities. Microchip Technology Inc. today announced a […]
PIC IDEs now support AVR MCUs
Designers who have traditionally used Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and incorporate AVR MCUs into their applications. The majority of AVR MCUs are now beta supported with the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, available today from Microchip Technology Inc. Support for additional […]
