MIKROE proudly collaborates with Semtech, a global leader in high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and the company behind LoRa® long-range wireless technology. Semtech’s LoRa platform is widely adopted across IoT applications and has powered millions of devices worldwide.
MIKROE Click Boards™ Featuring Semtech Technology
Our lineup of Semtech-powered Click boards™ spans key application areas, all designed for effortless mikroBUS™ integration:
- Wireless Connectivity: Featuring Semtech radio platforms such as the LR1110 (used on our LR IoT Click), which combines an ultra-low-power LoRa® transceiver with multi-constellation GNSS and passive Wi-Fi scanning — ideal for geolocation and LPWAN use cases. The LR IoT Click is fully compatible with mikroBUS™ and ships with mikroSDK support for fast evaluation.
- Interface: Semtech devices are also used in interface Click boards. For example, Expand 9 Click is built around Semtech’s SX1509QB 16-channel GPIO expander — a low-voltage, level-shifting I/O expander with an integrated LED driver and keypad scan engine, perfect for adding ports, LED control and keypad interfaces to embedded systems. Expand 9 Click is mikroBUS™-compatible and supported with mikroSDK libraries.
- HMI: Semtech’s touch and proximity technology powers HMI Click boards as well. The Cap Extend Click uses Semtech’s SX8633 low-power capacitive touch/button controller with enhanced LED drivers and proximity sensing — a compact 12-channel solution for touch panels, proximity controls and touch-activated lighting. Cap Extend Click is mikroBUS™ compatible and supported with a ready library.
