Why Design With the PIC32CX-BZ and WBZ Family?
Robust Performance
Our PIC32CX-BZ and WBZ family is built to thrive in tough environments. These devices are temperature tolerant and provide stable RF performance regardless of the conditions.
Advanced Peripherals
With up to 29 GPIOs, it is easy to add features that set your application apart. This MCU family supports a rich set of peripherals including capacitive touch, ADC and DAC.
Layered Security
We keep your designs secure through multiple layers of protection including secure boot, which prevents your device from being taken over by unauthorized software.
Product Selection
In addition to SoCs, we design and build our own RF-ready modules. If you want more customization, we provide chip-down reference design packages for building your own module.
Simple Prototyping
Use drag-and-drop auto code generation, virtual sniffers and a large library of application examples to prototype your wireless application in seconds.

Design Check Service
Our online design review is available at no charge to customers who have selected our wireless devices for their applications.
Microchip Bootloaders
Bootloaders are used to upgrade firmware on a target device without using an external programmer or debugger. Commonly used with microcontrollers (MCUs), a bootloader contains code that loads and executes an application program. Bootloaders can also perform additional tasks such as validating the code integrity and authenticity.
