Mikroelektronika (Serbian: Микроелектроника д.о.о. Београд) is a company based in Belgrade, Serbia which manufactures and sells microcontroller development boards, accessory boards, compilers, and books.

History

Mikroelektronika was founded in 1997 by Nebojša Matić, Serbian entrepreneur, owner and general manager. The company's slogan is "making it simple" and it has a goal to make products easy-to-use and suitable for beginners. The company's first development system was EPIC1, initially constructed for the PIC16F84A microcontroller, has been succeeded by the 7th generation system EasyPIC v7, which was launched on October 7, 2011. Its 6th generation system EasyPIC6[2] is widely known in the PIC development community.[3][4]

Mikroelektronika's products grew to be internationally recognized, and there are now distributors in about 50 countries, according to the company's official distributors list.[5] In August 2011, the company announced Mouser Electronics[6] as its first world-wide distributor. Mikroelektronika is an official consultant on PIC microcontrollers and third party partner of Microchip Technology.[7] As of 2010 Mikroelektronika is listed as a trusted 3rd Party Tool Provider at Microchip Direct.[8] The company is also an official consultant and third-party partner of Atmel,[9] Texas Instruments, ARM Holdings,[10] Cypress Semiconductors, NXP (founded by Philips)[11] and Official Competence Center of Telit.[12] Mikroelektronika is a member of the Embedded++ organization in Serbia.[13]

Products

MikroProg programmer and In-Circuit Debugger supports over 570 Microchip PIC, dsPIC30/33 and PIC32 microcontrollers

Mikroelektronika products include:

  • Development boards for PIC, dsPIC / PIC24, PIC32, AVR, ARM Cortex-M, 8051, PSoC and NXP microcontrollers.
  • The mikroProg, a fast programmer and In-Circuit debugger for PIC, dsPIC / PIC24 and PIC32 microcontrollers. It supports over 574 devices.
  • The mikromedia boards are small boards with TFT touch screen containing a microcontroller and a set of multimedia modules. There are mikromedia boards for several major microcontroller architectures and families, but they all have similar design and set of peripherals.
  • A variety of accessory boards
  • Their most recent accessory boards are called (Click boards), which are quite compact and powerful boards. These boards can be used very easily, specially when they are used with the Mikrobus sockets, which make the entire hardware work only is to plug and play the Click boards.
  • Compilers for PIC, dsPIC / PIC24, PIC32, AVR, ARM Cortex™-M, (Stellaris, STM32) and 8051 microcontrollers in three programming languages: mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal.
  • Additional Software - Visual TFT, Visual GLCD and Package Manager
  • Books in printed form, and those available for online reading.
  • In 2011, MikroElektronika designed and produced the Analog System Lab Kit PRO board for Texas Instruments.

Worldwide exhibitions

Company is an exhibitor on several major international embedded fairs and conferences, such as Embedded World[14][15] in Nuremberg, Germany, and Microchip MASTERs conference in Phoenix, Arizona.[16][17]

Social responsibility

Mikroelektronika actively participates in helping colleges, universities, as well as high-school students and projects. In 2009 it donated a set of training kits for microcontroller programming to the Faculty of Computer Science in Belgrade.[18][19] Company was the official partner of the Exporter Of The Year 2009 event,[20] organized by Serbia Investment and Export Promotion Agency.

Community

Mikroelektronika is popular in microcontroller community. There are blogs, forums and social groups dedicated to Mikroelektronika's products.

  • Microchip Technology's Marketing Manager Lucio Di Jasio has dedicated a page to Mikroelektronika's Multimedia Board For PIC32MX4 in his PIC32 Pilot's Logbook, and has written examples accompanied with video presentations.[21]
  • Embedded Lab is a community blog with many projects built with MikroElektronika compilers
  • Roman Black's personal website contains a lot of projects with MikroElektronika tools.
  • Micro-examples is a community website containing examples for Mikroelektronika's compilers and development boards.
  • PIC32 Compilers is a community website created by MikroElektronika.
  • Libstock is a community website created by MikroElektronika for sharing and downloading code, such as libraries and projects, written in mikroElektronika and other compilers.
  • Several third-party books[22][23][24][25][26] on microcontroller projects have demonstration examples written in Mikroelektronika's compilers.
