IoT design is the implementation of microcontroller (MCU) solutions with the ideal connection protocol for your application. Microchip Technology recently announced smart, full-stack, embedded development solutions to help with the task.

Microchip's embedded line ranges from its small PIC and AVR MCUs for sensors and actuators to sophisticated 32-bit MCU gateway and microprocessor (MPU)-based solutions for edge computing, providing the ability to connect to any main core and any main cloud using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or 5G narrowband technologies, all while maintaining a solid security foundation with support from Microchip's Trust Platform for the CryptoAuthentication family.

IoT design

IoT networks of sensors and intelligent devices will be able to connect virtually every aspect of our environment – homes, physical objects, transportation and communication systems, clothing, and even the human body – enabling us to exchange data and take the appropriate actions. If the internet of things is to provide more opportunities for the technology audience, however, workflows must be simplified, and better use of modular components must be made to address the real technical challenges in IoT projects, from software design to hardware implementation.

There are three basic types of projects for IoT applications. In cloud-connected projects, servers use dedicated software to analyze and process data collected by systems. Projects connected to a local network use an intranet network to communicate. And in gateway-based projects, gateway systems are used to adapt existing systems to the internet.

Usually, the first step in any project is to choose the ideal development kit for your prototype. Building a cloud-connected IoT system from scratch can be a costly and time-consuming process that requires expertise in many engineering disciplines. Today's developers face more challenges than ever when making their design decisions, including longer development times and higher security threats. Development kits and other prototyping platforms are vital to the efforts to level the IoT supply chain, accelerate innovation, and empower anyone who has the ideas and ambition to design and create successful IoT platforms.
