WBZ450PE-I [Microchip]

Application Examples

---

Part of the PIC32CX-BZ family, WBZ450PE is based on the 32-pin PIC32CX1012BZ24032 SoC and is the smaller variant of the WBZ451PE module. WBZ450PE is certified to Bluetooth^® 5.2, Zigbee^® 3.0, Thread 1.3.0, and supports IEEE® mesh protocols as well as multi-protocol operations. Designed from the ground up to enable you to go to market quickly, WBZ450PE is powered by a 64 MHz ARM^® Cortex^® M4F and is packed with features including OTA, hardware arbitration for multi-protocol wireless, hardware-based security accelerator, and a rich set of peripherals.
