 Bluetooth® Microcontrollers (MCUs)

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:

Our PIC32CX-BZ family includes a 64 MHz, Arm Cortex-based M4F core and support for multiple wireless protocols in a selection of packages. Click or tap on any colored box to see more information about that product.
