With development support for virtually anything, Microchip's Ethernet of Everything solutions, available from Mouser Electronics, build upon an established network to deliver improved system performance, reduced latency, ease of installation and scalability, and the option to incorporate Power over Ethernet (PoE) for single-line power and communications. Hybrid networks integrate multiple networking technologies, including wired, wireless, server management, and cloud connectivity.
Engineers can reduce development time with Microchip's Curiosity, Xplained, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) development platforms and quickly generate code for peripheral configurations and communications using the MPLAB® Code Configurator, MPLAB Harmony Configurator, or Atmel START tools. Microchip's PIC18 PoE development platform is the foundation of the Ethernet of Everything ecosystem within an industry-standard PoE infrastructure. The corresponding PIC18 PoE development kit includes a PIC18 PoE main board, a PoE programmer adapter, and an I/O expansion board for development within the Ethernet of Everything environment. Customization and experimentation are simplified through an expansion header that is compatible with MikroElektronika click boards™, allowing engineers to easily incorporate a variety of sensors, controllers, and drivers into their applications.
Networked devices vary in complexity, from simple environmental sensors to processing-intensive devices. Lightweight communication stacks enable these applications to run on Microchip's 8-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers, offering a wide range of intelligent peripherals that operate independently of the core and require little to no CPU intervention. Combined with eXtreme Low Power (XLP) and picoPower® technologies, PIC® and AVR® microcontrollers enable innovation in the Ethernet of Everything.
