Looking for a Business Partner, Not Just a Vendor?

Successful companies recognize the value of a strategic supplier relationship to help them deliver innovative products to their markets in a timely manner. They trust their suppliers to furnish quality technology roadmaps and innovative solutions to stay ahead of tomorrow’s design trends.

Microchip Technology provides low risk product development, lower total system cost and faster time-to-market to approximately 60,000 of these successful companies worldwide. Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, Microchip offers outstanding technical support along with dependable delivery and quality.

 

What are your design goals? What is your application?

From cost competitive analog and memory devices to high performance microcontrollers and digital signal controllers, our devices provide a custom fit in your cost sensitive design. Engineers can quickly integrate our devices into both simple and complex applications and our numerous starter kits and free reference designs can help. The online Microchip Advanced Parts Selector (MAPS) and Development Tools Selector (DTS) aid designers in selecting the right device(s) based on their specific requirements.

 

Are you upgrading your product? Need additional memory or peripherals?

Cut down your revision cycle time. Designing in Microchip’s devices allows easy migration throughout your entire portfolio. Upgrading your product with drop-in replacements and reusable code has never been easier with our MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment and similar pin-to-pin compatible devices. Our product roadmaps display the migration path for every product family with specifications, peripherals and highlights to pinpoint the best range of devices.

 

What is the bottom line? Do you want a competitive edge?

In today’s highly competitive market conditions, Microchip’s goal is to provide the best devices, value and support to reduce your risk and streamline your time to market. We’ve added resources to aid in every aspect of your design from start to finish with easy-to-use product selection tools, 24/7 global technical support, webbased online training, Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and a well trained team of field personnel. Our commitment to customer satisfaction is exemplified by the company’s ISO/TS-16949:2002 qualification.

 

Looking for one microcontroller architecture to support your 8-, 16- and 32-bit design needs? Would using a single development environment reduce your cycle time?

From low cost, low-power and small package requirements to leading edge and feature rich performers, our devices are based on a powerful RISC core with industry leading self-programmable Flash memory.

The PIC® microcontrollers deliver low risk product development by providing seamless program size expansion. Pin compatibility among all devices facilitates drop-in replacement of package types, as well as program memory variations without engineers having to rewrite their code.

These standard pin schemes and code compatibility provide a seamless migration path, allowing designers to reuse their code and circuit board layout. Engineers have the flexibility to add higher memory options, incremental input/output functions and analog peripherals with minimal impact to their existing code, providing much faster time-to-market.

 

Need analog for your design?

Microchip provides an extensive portfolio of linear, mixed signal, power management, thermal management, battery management and interface devices for just about any need. The company is a leader in low-power analog solutions that complement our broad microcontroller product lines.

 

Need stand-alone memory?

Microchip offers one of the broadest selections of serial EEPROMs in densities from 128-bits to 1Mbit, with operating voltages down to 1.7V, in all popular bus protocols (I²C™, Microwire and SPI compatible). If you need more microcontroller pins for new features, consider Microchip’s new UNI/O™ serial EEPROM which uses only one connection to the host microcontroller.

 

Are you concerned about product lead times?

Microchip’s products have some of the shortest lead times in the industry today. As Microchip’s largest distributor worldwide, Future Electronics has more available inventory in stock than ever before. Short lead times paired with an excellent inventory position ensure Future and Microchip can meet your delivery requirements every day.
