interface and safety & security solutions.
Combined with “Intelligent Analog”
microcontrollers, Microchip offers an
extensive analog portfolio for thousands
of high-performance design applications
in the automotive, communications
(wireless), consumer, computing and
industrial control markets.
Our broad portfolio of stand-alone
analog and interface devices offers
highly integrated solutions that
combine various analog functions
in space-saving packages and
support a variety of bus interfaces.
Many of these devices support
functionality that enhances the analog features currently
available on PIC®microcontrollers.
Want 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 components for current
design opportunities as well as provide technology
road maps 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 more than 45,000 of these successful
companies worldwide. Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona,
Microchip offers outstanding technical support along with
dependable delivery and quality.
Founded in 1989, Microchip’s business model is based on
a series of guiding values that aim to establish successful
customer partnerships by exceeding expectations for
products, services and attitude. Continuous improvement,

Direct control over manufacturing resources allows
shortened design and production cycles. By owning the
wafer fabrication facilities and the majority of the test
and assembly operations, and by employing proprietary
statistical process control techniques, Microchip has been
able to achieve and maintain high production yields.
Need Additional Support and Resources?
Microchip is committed to supporting its customers by
helping design engineers develop products faster and
more efficiently. Customers can access three main
service areas at www.microchip.com. The Support area
provides a fast way to get questions answered. The
Sample area offers evaluation samples of any Microchip
device. microchipDIRECT provides 24-hour pricing,
ordering, inventory and credit for convenient purchasing
of all Microchip devices and development tools. This
site also features online programming capabilities.
Finally, the Training area offers opportunities to expand
your knowledge with Microchip’s online web seminars
and hands-on courses at our worldwide Technical
Training Centers. Our seminars and training classes are
designed to fit your schedule and offer an overview of
many product, development tool and application topics.
Visit www.microchip.com/training for class content
and schedules.
Have you ever encountered a technical dilemma at a
critical point in your design development and your supplier
was not available to answer your questions? Microchip’s
first ever 24/7 global technical support line brings
technical support resources any time help is needed.
Because some technical problems require hands-on
assistance in order to be resolved quickly, Microchip
has also developed a global team of field applications
engineers and field sales engineers for local assistance.
