Why Design With the PIC32MZ-W1 and WFI32 Family?
Robust Performance
Our PIC32MZ-W1 and WFI32 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 60 GPIOs, it is easy to add features that set your application apart. This MCU family supports advanced analog peripherals including capacitive touch, CAN, Ethernet and USB.
Layered Security
We keep your designs secure through multiple layers of protection including Trust&GO, which simplifies secure cloud authentication.
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.
Simplifying Cloud Authentication
Trust&GO makes it easy to build secure, cloud-connected IoT products—no extra hardware or configuration required. With built-in, pre-provisioned security elements, our Trust&GO Wi-Fi modules take the complexity out of authentication and help you launch faster.

Microchip Bootloaders
Bootloaders are used to upgrade firmware on a target device without using an external programmer or debugger. Commonly used with microcontrollers (MCUs), a bootloader contains code that loads and executes an application program. Bootloaders can also perform additional tasks such as validating the code integrity and authenticity.
