 Microchip – A Semiconductor Ecosystem for Smarter, Safer Embedded Systems

Microchip is not just a chip manufacturer

Over three decades of innovation have turned Microchip into more than a semiconductor provider. It’s a design philosophy—one that powers everything from a wearable fitness tracker to an industrial controller or even a satellite transceiver.

The journey doesn’t start with a chip. It starts with a flexible, scalable system mindset.

When MCUs are only the beginning

From the classic 8-bit PIC and AVR to 32-bit SAM and high-performance 64-bit processors, Microchip offers more than processing power. These controllers work hand-in-hand with analog modules, integrated DSPs, and rich interfaces like CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and USB. The goal isn’t to just control—it’s to adapt, evolve, and build future-ready platforms.

Connectivity – wired, wireless, and beyond

An embedded device must talk. Whether it’s via UART, SPI, or I2C—or over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LoRa, or wired Ethernet—Microchip ensures seamless data flow, firmware updates, and real-time control. Power-over-Ethernet support is built-in when needed.

Security – built at the hardware root

In the age of data, security is not optional. Microchip’s hardware-based security solutions, such as CryptoAuthentication and secure elements, provide features like secure boot, key storage, and tamper resistance directly on silicon. No additional software layers required.

System optimization with analog, sensors, and FPGA

Beyond core logic, Microchip offers a wide suite of analog solutions: amplifiers, ADC/DAC, RTCs, Flash/EEPROM memory, motor drivers, and liquid or current sensors. And for edge applications demanding programmable logic, the PolarFire FPGA and SoC families strike the right balance between flexibility and low power.

Not just components – a complete ecosystem

Design tools like MPLAB X IDE, Harmony Framework, dev kits, and a vast technical community form a full-stack design environment. With Microchip, engineers don’t just buy parts—they gain access to an entire system that accelerates innovation.
