Industrial Communications

Accelerate Your Industrial Automation Design

Microchip's microprocessors (MPUs) offer seamless support for robust, real-time industrial communication stacks.

The industrial protocol software is actively maintained, Continuous-Integration (CI)-tested, and optimized for embedded Linux^® and real-time environments.

With Microchip's streamlined pass-through licensing model, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can easily integrate proven industrial stacks into their applications without the need for complex licensing negotiations.

This approach accelerates time-to-market and reduces the total cost of ownership for industrial control panels, edge nodes, and smart Input/Output (I/O) systems.

Whether you need a dedicated standalone stack or a unified multi-protocol library, Microchip offers proven options to match your design requirements.
