Microchip Technology Incorporated (Nasdaq: MCHP) is a leading global supplier of microcontrollers and analog semiconductors, enabling low-risk product development, lower total system cost and faster speed for thousands of consumer products worldwide product launch time.

Microchip has paid close attention to the embedded control semiconductor product market since its inception. In order to occupy the market, we have concentrated all resources in technology, design, production, sales and other aspects to develop two major products: PIC8-bit microcontroller (MCU) and high-quality serial EEPROM. So far, Microchip has launched microcontroller peripherals, analog products, RFID smart cards, KEELOQ security products, and can design more comprehensive and valuable embedded control system solutions to meet the growing needs of users.

The main products of Microchip microcontrollers are PIC16C series and 17C series 8-bit microcontrollers. The CPU adopts RISC structure with only 33, 35, and 58 instructions respectively. It adopts Harward dual bus structure, which has fast running speed, low operating voltage, low power consumption and low price. Low, input and output direct drive capability is large, one-time programming, small size.

It is suitable for high-volume, low-grade, price-sensitive products, and has a wide range of applications in different fields such as office automation equipment, electronic products, telecommunication, intelligent instrumentation, automotive electronics, financial electronics, and industrial control.

PIC series microcontrollers have been increasing year by year in the world market share ranking of microcontrollers, and have developed very rapidly.
