Microchip's WBZ350 RF-Ready Multi-Protocol MCU Modules, Now Available from Mouser, Accelerate Time to Market for Wireless Applications
September 23, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the WBZ350 RF-ready multi-protocol modules from Microchip Technology. The WBZ350 modules, part of the PIC32CX-BZ family, are secure 32-bit microcontrollers with integrated Bluetooth® and Zigbee® wireless capabilities. The RF-ready modules are designed for applications that require reliable wireless connectivity, including IoT devices for smart factories and process automation, home automation and smart lighting systems, health and fitness wearables with wireless data control, and building automation.
The Microchip Technology WBZ350 modules, now available at Mouser, feature a 64MHz Arm® Cortex® M4F processor that balances performance with energy efficiency. Two versions of the modules are available: the WBZ350PE with an onboard antenna and the WBZ350UE with a U.FL connector for an external antenna. Both versions simplify the process of adding wireless capabilities to applications, saving time and reducing RF-design costs. The WBZ350 MCU modules are also pre-certified in the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, further accelerating time to market and ensuring compliance across major markets.
The WBZ350 modules feature an ultra-low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver that supports Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) 5.2, IEEE® 802.15.4, and Zigbee 3.0 connectivity. Hardware-level arbitration allows for multi-protocol wireless functionality. The WBZ350 modules protect applications with hardware-based security, as NIST-compliant authentication and secure boot ROM ensure only trusted software is able to run. Robust analog peripherals, including industrial-grade capacitive touch, ADCs, DAC, and comparators, facilitate versatile sensor integration and analog management across a wide range of applications. The WBZ350 MCU modules are built on the MPLAB® Harmony® v3 framework for fast and simple development.
