SiPs simplify your designs by integrating 64 Mb to 4 Gb of SDR or DDR memory (depending on the device) in a single package, removing the high-speed memory interface constraints from a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The impedance matching is executed in the package instead of manually during development, allowing the system to function properly at normal and low-speed operation. With more integrated features, SiPs maximize space on your board. SiPs are backed by our client-driven obsolescence practice of continuing to supply a product for as long as possible and while demand for the product exists, reducing your supply risk.
SiPs are supported by a comprehensive development environment through our mainline Linux® OS distribution and our MPLAB® development ecosystem to help you design your end product at the bare-metal or RTOS level.

Software Tools
Our software solutions let you take full advantages of our silicon by providing a simple, transparent development experience. Easily build your project using either our MPLAB X Harmony environment for bare metal and RTOS development or our mainline Linux OS distribution.
MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Harmony Software Framework
The MPLAB development ecosystem is a single tool chain supporting all PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs) and SAM MCUs and MPUs. The tight integration between MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB X Harmony embedded software framework produces an enhanced development environment so that you can focus on creating and debugging your application-specific code on our MPUs.
MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
A single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supporting all PIC and SAM MCUs and MPUs
MPLAB Xpress Cloud-Based IDE
An online development environment that contains the most popular features of our award-winning MPLAB X IDE
MPLAB Harmony v3 Software Framework
A fully integrated embedded software development framework for our 32-bit MCUs and MPUs that provides flexible and interoperable software modules and easy-to-use APIs to simplify the development of value-added features to differentiate your product
MPLAB XC Compiler
A comprehensive solution for your software development that integrates with MPLAB X IDE to provide a full graphical front end
MPLAB X IDE also comes with Microchip Graphics Suite for Harmony for creating professional-looking embedded Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). This tightly integrated system of tools and software allows you to add GUIs, animation and imagery quickly and easily to a graphical display.
Linux OS
All our Linux development code is mainlined in the Linux communities, providing you full access to source code and long-term support. This also opens the door to the world’s largest developer community, providing access to qualified software engineers who can assist with your MPU-based projects.
You can also benefit from our Microchip Graphics Suite for Linux, a free open-source C++ GUI development tool that provides a great user experience and a high-quality look and feel.
Add Security to Your MPUs
If you connect your system to a network or want to protect your brand, security is a key requirement and ultimately a strategic asset. We can help you secure your design with options ranging from our advanced embedded security implementations on our MPUs to a segmented processing element known as a secure enclave.
Whether you need cloud provisioning, secured communication, certificate management, system resilience, data authentication, secure boot or secrets storage, you can depend on us to find and implement the right security measures easily.
