Microchip 802.15.4

802.15.4

Created to support low-cost, low-power networks, the IEEE’s 802.15.4 standard defines the MAC and PHY layer used by, but not limited to, networking specifications such as Zigbee®, 6LoWPAN, Thread, WiSUN and MiWi™ protocols. IEEE 802.15.4-based products from Microchip are deployed today in a wide range of applications from battery-free, energy-harvesting wireless light switches, to alarm sensors with several years of battery life, to high-performance mesh utility networks supporting smart meters and street lighting. Our complete line of IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers, RF microcontrollers (MCUs) and regulatory-certified modules help you deliver the functionality you need with the low-power performance demanded by your customers.

RF MCUs

Integrated MCU with RF transceiver solutions combine a low-power MCU with a 2.4 GHz or Sub-GHz RF transceiver in a single QFN package.

Perfect for space-constrained coin-cell powered sensors or lighting solutions
