Microchip’s AgileSwitch® digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit solution enables developers to proceed quickly from benchtop to production

Microchip announces two new solutions that simplify USB Type-C PD designs to remove the traditional complexity and high costs associated with implementing USB Type-C in a range of applications.

Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, announces a cost-effective eight-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch which provides guaranteed power of 60 Watts (W) per port for all eight ports simultaneously. Ideal for digital ceiling installations, the IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PDS-408G PoE switch runs noise-free with a fanless design. Designed for enterprise connected lighting applications, the […]

Microchip announces a flexible PLC modem which supports multiple standard and proprietary protocols used globally in smart grid infrastructure. The PL360B enables manufacturers to respond to the utilities’ need to improve the reliability and performance of smart meters and to address multiple markets, end-customer regulations and operational requirements. The single device can be adapted simply […]

Microchip announces the new dsPIC33EP128GS808 family of high-performance, live-updateable dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). The new devices offer up to 128 KB of dual-partition Flash memory with live-update capability, advanced analogue features and enhanced Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) suitable for high-end digital power applications such as AC/DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, power inverters and advanced […]

Microchip announces the USB58xx and USB59xx next-generation families of SmartHubs. These are the first seven-port USB 3.1 Gen1 hub ICs available in the market today and offer customers simpler designs and cost savings over previous solutions. These families of hub ICs offer manufacturers multiple direct interfaces to USB Type-C connectors for enabling 5 Gbps USB […]

Microchip announces the industry’s lowest-power Passive Entry/Passive Start (PEPS) solution: The ATA5700 and ATA5702 are primarily intended for use in battery powered applications such as smart keys (i.e. PEPS) and complementary car access via mobile devices, smartphones and wearables where the power consumption is one of the key requirements. Key benefits of the new devices […]

Microchip announces two next-generation Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) solutions with an easy-to-use ASCII-style command interface that makes the devices easy to configure and eliminates any complicated code compiling. The RN4870 and RN4871 support the latest Bluetooth 4.2 specification and have a Bluetooth stack on board with a scripting engine to enable standalone operation and eliminate […]

Microchip announces the company’s lowest power and most cost-effective family of 32-bit PIC32 microcontrollers (MCUs). The Microchip PIC32MM family bridges the gap between the company’s popular PIC24F XLP and PIC32MX families. The new family is the first PIC32 to feature core independent peripherals, designed to offload the CPU for lower power and lower system design […]

Microchip announces an expansion to its power-monitoring IC portfolio with the addition of the MCP39F511N.  Capable of providing popular standard power calculations and event monitoring of two electrical loads, this highly integrated and accurate device facilitates system design and reduces system cost of power-monitoring wall outlets and smart plugs, power strips, AC/DC power supplies and […]
