List of products by brand Microchip

It is not difficult to see that the market for integrated circuits has long been dominated by - literally - a few companies. There is nothing surprising in it - after all only few companies can afford high volume production of microelectronic circuits, maintaining both factories of silicon structures as well as huge departments of highly specialized designers, application engineers scattered around the world, sales consultants and local representatives. And all this in times of fierce competition and constantly changing market conditions. Among the leading semiconductor manufacturers is Microchip, one of the most important and largest players in both the microcontroller and memory markets, as well as excellent solutions for A/D and D/A converters, analog circuits and integrated charge controllers and DC/DC converters.

Microcontrollersfrom Microchip

In the former segment, the company did very well from the very beginning - the easy-to-use, reliable and much loved by both amateurs and professionals, 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers from the PIC family were soon joined by powerful dsPIC signal processors and controllers, dedicated to digital signal processing (DSP) applications. However, the world of electronics was shaken by the news that Microchip acquired another huge microcontroller manufacturer in 2016 - Atmel, which won the hearts of electronics programmers around the world with its record-breaking AVR chips(ATtiny and Atmega) and powerful ARM core microcontrollers. What is very important for both companies and the customers of microcontrollers signed with the Atmel logo, the acquisition did not cause any slowdown in the development of these product lines - on the contrary, AVR and SAM families are doing very well and continue to grow intensively. The fact that Microchip 's Arduino family is based on AVR chips is an indication of just how big a piece of the pie Microchip holds in the microcontroller market.

Other Microchipproducts

In addition to microcontrollers, Microchip offers a number of other types of integrated circuits used in virtually all electronics industries. The company's portfolio of power management circuits - linear regulators, DC/DC converters controllers, lithium battery monitoring and charging circuits, and integrated power network meters, among others - is particularly extensive and continuously expanding. Microchip 's engineers also have a strong foothold in the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter market, both for basic applications and for high-resolution, high-accuracy measurements. The company is also gaining a growing share of the market for specialized cryptographic chips, offering multi-level security and dedicated to extremely demanding applications. It is also worth mentioning the expanded offer of analog circuits - including operational amplifiers.

In our store we couldn't miss products coming directly from Microchip, as well as evaluation boards and modules based on Microchip microcontrollers and other ICs from that manufacturer. If you are going to learn more about microcontrollers from PIC and dsPIC families, choose MPLAB PICkit 4 debugger/programmer - the device connects to the computer via USB interface and offers 4-wire (JTAG and SWD) and 2-wire (JTAG and ICSP) interfaces. The programmer has a built-in micro SD card slot and is compatible with all leading operating systems (Windows 7 and higher, Linux and macOS). Unlike other popular programmers, the device is equipped with a powerful ARM processor, clocked at 300 MHz and running under the control of an embedded real-time operating system (RTOS). For a quick start in the world of PIC microcontrollers, we also have miniature evaluation modules - including the P-Star 25K50 with the PIC18F25K50 processor or the Sparkfun USB Bit Whacker with the 8-bit PIC18F2553 processor.
