Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) is an American manufacturer of microcontroller, memory and analog semiconductors. The company was founded in 1987 when General Instrument[1] Its products include microcontrollers (PICmicro, dsPIC / PIC24, PIC32), Serial EEPROM devices, Serial SRAMKEELOQ devices, radio frequency (RF) devices, thermal, power and battery management analog devices, as well as linear, interface and mixed signal devices. Some of the interface devices include USB, ZigBee/MiWi, Controller Area Network, and Ethernet. devices, spun off its microelectronics division as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Corporate Headquarters is located at Chandler, Arizona with wafer fabs in Tempe, Arizona and Gresham, Oregon.
Among its chief competitors are Atmel, Infineon, Freescale, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and Maxim Integrated Products.
Microchip was a major sponsor of the FIRST, supplying most of the major electrical components in each kit as standard parts, until National Instruments became the primary provider of the electrical system. Microchip still provides, however, some components, such as an electronic relay and a PWM controller.
