Miniaturized rubidium atomic clock maintains high degree of synchronization to reference clock
As reliance on precise frequency and timing increases due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabling 5G communication networks, data centers and other mission-critical infrastructure, smaller size and high-performance atomic clock technology has become essential to support both military and commercial applications. To meet demand for a small footprint atomic clock, Microchip Technology Inc. […]
Embedded processor compilers get functional safety certification
Functional safety certifications are required in many industries, but it is often a time-consuming and expensive process. Certifications can also require extensive justification for using specific development tools, unless the tool is already certified for compliance by functional safety experts such as TÜV SÜD, a Munich-based certification organization. To this end, Microchip Technology Inc. announced TÜV […]
Early Access Program for FPGAs enables design of power-efficient applications
The trend towards compute-intensive gateways and edge devices is driving the integration of traditional deterministic control applications with additional embedded processing capabilities needed for smart and secure connected systems. In response, Microchip Technology Inc. is opening the Early Access Program (EAP) for the PolarFire field programmable gate array (FPGA) system-on-chip (SoC). The platform offers the world’s […]
Economical SPI EERAM spans 64 Kb to 1 Mb capacity
From smart meters to manufacturing lines, applications that require repetitive task data logging must be able to automatically restore content if power is disrupted during processing. Current low density (64 Kb to 1Mb) nonvolatile serial RAM (NVRAM) solutions used for these datalogs are typically the highest price-per-bit memory in the resulting end products. Microchip Technology […]

Data center storage adapters interoperate with remote monitoring and diagnostics firmware
Data center administrators and IT managers want the ability to securely manage and trouble-shoot platforms and devices remotely, which requires that additional software, hardware and firmware be interfaced with storage adapters and other server components. Microchip Technology Inc. announced it has added this capability to its Adaptec Smart Storage adapters, which now seamlessly interoperate with MegaRAC […]
How zero-touch provisioning simplifies IoT links to cloud
Zero-touch provisioning eliminates the manual labor needed to connect devices to a network and allows these devices to be provisioned and configured automatically. It’s especially critical for small and mid-size companies in terms of cost and time of managing the provisioning logistics. While it’s a common concept in the networking industry at large, MCU suppliers […]
