All-In-One Solutions for Wireless Product Design
In an increasingly connected world, wireless technology has become a necessary function in most applications. From connected homes to smart cities to commercial and industrial automation, wireless microcontrollers provide a reliable and efficient way to communicate between devices and the cloud.
Our wireless MCUs offer the same performance and functionality as our broader 32-bit MCUs while supporting popular wireless technologies. Add even more connectivity to your design using our rich set of peripherals and support for wired connectivity including CAN/CAN FD, USB and Ethernet.
With our proven MCU performance and extensive hardware and software ecosystem, you can easily design next-generation products while reducing your overall cost.

Why Design With Our Wireless MCUs?
Robust Performance
Our wireless MCUs thrive in harsh environments. They are temperature tolerant and provide stable RF performance regardless of the conditions. We extensively test our products to enable seamless interoperability.
Advanced Peripherals
Our wireless MCUs go beyond connectivity. They include many General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins and support advanced analog peripherals such as capacitive touch, ADCs, DACs, CAN, Ethernet and USB.
Layered Security
We keep your designs secure through multiple layers of protection and continuous updates. The security features in our wireless MCUs include Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, secure boot, WPA3/AES encryption and Trust Platform.
Product Selection
Along with SoCs, we design and build our own RF-ready modules that reduce your time to market. And if you need more customization, we provide chip-down reference design packages for building your own module.
