Microprocessors, Microchips & Co. from the USA
Quality from its own production:
Microchip Technology Inc. emerged from the General Instruments group in 1989. Since then, its core business has focused on the manufacture of state-of-the-art semiconductor products - primarily for industry, but also for private use.
Microchip's other target markets: Automotive, aerospace and defense industries, communications, and computers.
To continue the progressive development of its in-house products, Microchip expanded and in 2010 acquired Silicon Storage Technology - a memory device manufacturer. In the years following the acquisition, the company merged with SMSC, Supertex, power management specialist Micrel and Atmel. Micochip is now one of the world's three largest microcontroller suppliers.
Microchip's products include high-efficiency semiconductor microcontrollers as well as analogue, wireless security, timing, and human interface products. All products are designed to be power efficient, reducing energy consumption and extending the functional life of batteries in wearables and portables.
The U.S. manufacturer's best-known product series, among others, are the PIC microcontrollers and the AVR microcontrollers. Microchip's individual electrical components enable holistic technologies that are important for designing and manufacturing sustainable and advanced products.
Top product categories from Microchip: Microcontrollers, Power Management Integrated Circuits, and ICs
Microchip Technology provides an extensive product portfolio for numerous industries. Meeting the demands of modern technologies requires innovative approaches - central to which are the reduction of component size and more efficient conversion of energy in closed as well as open systems.
Microcontroller
Microchip Technology is one of the world's leading manufacturers of the smallest electrical components - especially in the microcontroller (MCU) segment. Here, the integrated chip functions as a minimalized computer, which represents a completely closed system. The programmed component merely executes a basic program in a fixed periodic cycle - to be called an "embedded application".
Microcontrollers are built into numerous electronic and electrical systems - for example, sensors, displays, user interfaces, and programmable output controllers and control actuators.
To the products from MicrochipPower-Management Integrated Circuits - integrated power management circuits
To preserve battery life, Microchip offers power-efficient power management ICs. This combines multiple functions into a single device to reduce the number of individual components. This requires less space on the board - where the electrical component is mounted - and can reduce the cost of producing the devices.
These innovative power supply components are relevant in medical technology, the automotive sector, aerospace technology and communication technologies.
Analog Integrated Circuits - linear integrated circuits
Analog ICs (linear integrated circuits) or chips/microchips are circuits that accept, process, and generate different energy levels. In an IC, resistors, capacitors, and transistors are installed in a row. Often the electronic components serve as microprocessors, PC memories or oscillators. Primary applications are functions that require varying signal outputs - for example, audio frequency and high frequency amplifiers.
At the same time, the electrical components are space-saving and inexpensive due to their low height. Another advantage is the high operational reliability or low failure rate.

LDO controllers
For a sustainable and efficient energy management, the choice of the appropriate LDO voltage regulator is crucial. More and more devices rely on energy sources such as batteries to provide power efficiency. Microchip's regulators feature low quiescent current and low dropout voltages and provide highly accurate power output.
MCP1703T-3302E/DB series LDO regulators are suitable for battery-powered applications with two to six primary cells.
To the productAT89C51ED2 Microcontroller
Microchip provides a 64-KB flash memory block for data processing with the high-performance CMOS flash version of the 80C51 CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller. The flash memory is programmed by software or in-system programming (ISP). The advantage of ISP is that the microchip does not have to be removed from the system - the mechanical load on the component is reduced. This increases the longevity of the chip and shortens the programming process.
To the productMicrocontroller of the manufacturer series PIC16F1824-I/SL
With the 14-pin flash microcontroller, Microchip offers a power-efficient chip for program and data storage. Integrated is an 8-bit CPU core as well as XLP technology - for lower power consumption. Thanks to the integrated debug support, an additional debug header is not required.
Furthermore, the device is equipped with an improved mid-range core that stores 49 instructions. The hardware stack has 16 levels and an overflow and underflow reset function. Microcontrollers of the PIC16F1824-I/SL series are also designed for modulating data signals.
