Versatile, Arm® Cortex®-Based Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) MCU Modules and SoCs
You understand the value of adding Bluetooth LE to your design. It increases functionality and enhances the user experience.
However, working with wireless connectivity requires specialized expertise that can increase costs or slow development time.
To mitigate these risks, you need wireless solutions, like our Bluetooth LE MCUs, that are not only highly functional but also easy to use. With a large selection to choose from, we make it easy to find a Bluetooth microcontroller module or SoC that is suitable for your IoT application.
When you choose one of our products, you get more than proven hardware. We also provide comprehensive support including:
- Trusted MPLAB® Harmony v3 framework
- A large library of application examples
- Free mobile app source code for iOS® and Android™

Why Design With Our Bluetooth Microcontrollers?
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 inclduing 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.
