It seems like Wi-Fi® connections are everywhere, so it is no surprise that there is growing demand to add it to all kinds of products.
If you have an existing design and are simply looking to add Wi-Fi connectivity, network controllers are a good choice. They are a single-chip solution for Wi-Fi connectivity and network management that connects to a microcontroller (MCU) with minimal resource requirements.
We have a broad portfolio of Wi-Fi network controllers suited to a wide range of end applications with different levels of design complexity. They are designed for robust connectivity, seamless integration, enhanced security and most importantly, ease of use.
From plug-and-play modules to chip-down SoCs, our portfolio of Wi-Fi network controller products ensures robust and reliable connections in your embedded design. Click or tap on any colored box to see more information about that product.
Explore how the WINCS02 Wi-Fi network controller modules and SoC streamline wireless connectivity for smart devices. They are robust, secure and flexible devices for smart home, factory and industrial control applications. Learn about key features, including connecting to any MCU using a SPI to Wi-Fi interface, strong reliable RF performance and built-in security like immutable secure boot.
The RNWF02 Add-on Board makes it easy to add Wi-Fi® and connect your prototype to the cloud.. It is a low-cost platform that demonstrates the plug-and-play capability of the RNWF02PC module.
The WINCS02 Add-on Board is easy to set up and connect to the cloud through a SPI-to-Wi-Fi interface. It demonstrates the capability of the WINCS02PC network controller module.
Adding connectivity to an embedded product is complex, complicated and overwhelming at times. If you’re new to IoT product design, we suggest starting with the basics and learning the foundations of Internet communication.
In our Microchip University Course, “Design Considerations for Your First IoT Project,” we explore Wi-Fi, Ethernet, TCP/IP networking and analysis, messaging, provisioning, cloud models and security basics. This class is meant for someone who is comfortable setting up their home network but hasn’t explored what’s needed to build an IoT application.
