CONNECTIVITY
SOLUTIONS
With Connectivity, whether through USB, IR, RF, modem
or Ethernet, using Internet protocols (TCP/IP), a new world of convenience
is now available at your fingertips. From the GPS in your automobile
to the security system in your home, you have come to rely on smart
microcontroller (MCU) devices to save you time and money. Smart
microcontrollers using FLASH memory give manufacturers and service
providers the ability to upgrade
products in the field and enable features and services remotely.
Whether your design demands require networked connections such as
CAN, LIN or USB, or your application's challenge is communicating
via the Internet, Microchip has the products and the protocols you
need to get connected today. |
Internet Connectivity
Whether you're
looking for the convenience of remote diagnostics, remote data
collection, or the cost savings of remote program updates, chances
are your application needs Internet Connectivity.

Connectivity
Microchip offers
innovative silicon products to support a variety of bus interfaces
used to communicate with your embedded control systems. Microchip
device families support the following bus standards:
CAN bus (Controller
Area Network)
was designed
from the start to be highly robust to operate in noisy environments.
Microchip's powerful PIC18CX5X family(PIC18C658, PIC18C858) and
PIC18FXX8 family (PIC18F248, PIC18F668) feature an integrated
CAN (2.0B active) interface that targets automotive and industrial
applications. The MCP2510 device features
a stand-alone CAN controller with SPI™ interface for even more
design flexibility.
LIN bus (Local
Interconnect Network)
was created as a low-cost, short-distance, low speed network.
Microchip supports this protocol with its PIC16C432
and PIC16C433 devices.
USB (Universal
Serial Bus) Microchip offers a family of one-time-programmable
(OTP) devices supporting the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1 low-speed
interface (PIC16C745 and PIC16C765).
The family will be extended with the PIC18F245, PIC18F255, PIC18F445
and PIC18F455 devices which incorporate FLASH memory and offers
full-speed USB.
