Microcontroller units (MCUs) continue to bring functional flexibility to ever-changing application requirements, and today’s top suppliers within the industrial, automotive and consumer markets consistently leverage the technology’s low power and high performance capabilities for a wide variety of applications. As the number one developer of 8-bit MCUs and a top five developer of other MCU products, Microchip Technology dominates the space - delivering its 25 billionth MCU alongside its 30th anniversary.

Microchip has announced via its Microsemi subsidiary, additions to its Precision Time Protocol (PTP) PackeTime portfolio, including the TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.0. The additions provide solutions to one of the biggest 5G network deployment challenges of synchronising higher volumes of more densely packed base stations. Another challenge is keeping services operating through Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) lapses due to vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing or loss of signal.

Microchip's power management solutions include DC-DC controllers and regulators, MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers, voltage supervisors and references and power modules that enable you to increase power density, extend battery life and provide high performance in the most demanding applications.
