MICROCHIP
Microcontrollers, processors and embedded systems
About the manufacturer
Microchip Technology is a US semiconductor manufacturer founded in 1989 following a spin-off from General Instrument. It is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. The company became widely recognised for PIC microcontrollers and subsequently expanded its portfolio into analogue devices, memory, connectivity, AVR platforms and FPGAs. Its development has centred on a complete embedded-design ecosystem of devices, software tools and technical resources used in industrial, automotive and other embedded applications.
The main technical solutions associated with MICROCHIP include PIC and AVR microcontrollers, analog and power-management ICs and EEPROM memory devices. Microcontrollers and embedded processors combine a computing core with memory, communication interfaces and control peripherals. This integration supports measurement, control algorithms, connectivity and human-machine interfaces. Device families scale from simple controllers to higher-performance embedded platforms.
Applications
MICROCHIP solutions are relevant to applications where component characteristics must be matched to the final equipment:
- industrial automation
- embedded systems
- IoT devices
- motor control
- operator panels
- measurement instruments
