Derived from MCC Classic, MCC Melody offers seamless code generation and an enhanced and flexible architecture for effortless configuration of devices, peripherals and libraries. It provides clear visualization of component dependencies, streamlining the development process and providing content versioning at the driver level for easy project maintenance. It enables easy migration across microcontrollers (MCUs) to keep pace with your application requirements.
MCC Melody provides libraries, drivers, Peripheral Libraries (PLIBs) and Hardware Initializers (HWIs) for the development of embedded software for our PIC® and AVR® MCUs and dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs).
MCC Melody is recommended for all your new designs. You can install it from within MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB Xpress or download and install it as a plugin.
- Supports MCC Builder, a structured relationship manager that offers a transparent visualization of component-related dependencies and context in your project
- Enables seamless portability across MCUs via system drivers that abstract hardware-level dependencies
- Enables content versioning at the driver level, offering increased flexibility and easy upgradability
- Available in MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Xpress, a cloud-based IDE
MCC Melody consists of many components. The low-level Peripheral Libraries (PLIBs) are simple functions to initialize and control peripherals and basic device features. The system drivers enable the configuration of general functionality and are often used by other peripherals, such as pins, interrupts and the system clock. Drivers depend on PLIBs and abstract the hardware details away from libraries and applications. Libraries use drivers and system services for device independence and provide support for networking, USB, cryptography and other capabilities often required by today’s embedded applications.

RN4870/1 Bluetooth® LE Library
The RN4870/RN4871 Bluetooth LE library generates and configures C code software drivers for RN487x modules and interfaces the modules with a PIC or AVR MCU or a dsPIC33 DSC.
LIN Host
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) host module is a basic UART driver that generates C code quickly and easily to send and receive UART packets formatted for LIN host nodes. The host schedules tasks for a certain period to the client, which will respond at a certain time.
LIN Client
The LIN client module is a basic UART driver that quickly and easily generates C code to send and receive UART packets formatted for LIN client nodes. The client responds to tasks received from the host at scheduled times determined by the host.
Accel (I2C) KXTJ3-1057
The Accel (I2C) KXTJ3-1057 driver interfaces between an MCU and an off-chip KXTJ3-1057 accelerometer using the I2C protocol.
Data Encryption Routines
The data encryption routines library provides data encryption routines based on four encryption algorithms (AES, XTEA, SKIPJACK and pseudo-random binary sequence generator) as described in the application note AN953.
CryptoAuthentication™ Library
The CryptoAuthentication library quickly generates and configures code for implementing various security use cases such as authentication and encryption applications in applications using PIC and AVR MCUs and dsPIC33 DSCs.
Touch Library
The touch library for MCC Melody is a royalty-free software library for developing touch applications. You can use it to integrate touch-sensing capability into your applications. The library supports both self-capacitance and mutual capacitance acquisition methods.
TIMEOUTDRIVER
The timeout driver provides an abstraction interface for the timer-type peripherals such as the Timer0/1/2 peripherals and their derivatives, the Signal Measurement Timer (SMT) and the Hardware Limit Timer (HLT).
DELAY
The delay driver provides an abstraction interface for invoking built-in delay macros across device families.
Data Streamer Driver
The data streamer protocol allows you to send multiple variables from your embedded application to display these variables on a graph or custom dashboard.
EEPROM (I2C) AT24CM02
The EEPROM (I2C) AT24CM02 driver enables interfacing between an MCU and an off-chip AT24CM02 EEPROM using the I2C protocol.
dsPIC33 DSC – EEPROM Data Emulation
The dsPIC33 DSC – EEPROM data emulation library enables robust data storage by mimicking EEPROM data using on-chip Flash memory, which implements the wear-leveling technique.
Ethernet Drivers
The Ethernet drivers library interfaces between an MCU and the ENCx24J600 Ethernet controller using the SPI protocol.
TCPIP-Lite
The TCPIP-Lite library covers a selection of desired TCP/IP protocols and custom configurations for each protocol.
The MCC Content Manager (CM) allows you to select specific versions of the component modules to be used for your MCC projects. You can download libraries from the MCC Content Manager plugin or directly from the Content Manager within MCC.
