Microchip Technology

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, Microchip Technology has grown into one of the semiconductor industry's broadest-portfolio companies through organic innovation and strategic acquisitions — including Atmel (2016), Microsemi (2018), and their legacy FPGA and timing assets. Today, Microchip offers over 50,000 products and ships billions of units annually.

Microchip's embedded control philosophy emphasizes total system solutions: pair a PIC or AVR microcontroller with an on-board touch controller, a KSZ Ethernet switch, a MCP analog front-end, or a ATECC608 cryptographic co-processor, and designers get a cohesive development experience backed by MPLAB X IDE and Harmony software frameworks. For higher-performance systems, SAMA5 and SAM9 MPUs running Linux address gateway and HMI applications, while PolarFire SoC FPGAs combine RISC-V cores with programmable logic for defense and communications.

On Octatronics, engineers can search Microchip products by MPN, filter by core architecture, memory size, package, and peripherals, and submit RFQs for prototyping quantities or production volumes with traceability documentation.
