Microchip’s AEC-Q100 Grade 2-qualified, SAM9X75D5M System-in-Package (SiP) addresses growing demand for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in automotive and e-mobility applications. Supporting sophisticated graphics and large display sizes (up to 10 inches with XGA resolution, 1024 × 768), the hybrid MCU SiP combines the MPU and memory into a single package. It features an Arm926EJ-S processor and 512 Mbit DDR2 SDRAM. Display ...

Arrow, Microchip , Bourns, and Amphenol have come up with an evaluation platform – the 10BASE-T1S REF_SPE_T1S reference design board. The design assists engineers in adopting Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) by addressing the magnetic connection that links data to the physical cable and enables system-level evaluation of signal integrity, EMC behaviour, and noise immunity in real-world applications. SPE performance is ...

Mouser is now stocking the PIC32WM-BZ6 multiprotocol module from Microchip Technology. PIC32WM-BZ6 The low-power module aims at multiprotocol applications. For example, IoT devices, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, automotive and telematics applications, and consumer electronics. Supported connectivity standards include Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Core 6.0), Zigbee 3.0 and Thread 1.4. And there’s IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY SDK for custom protocol support, ...

Microchip is introducing its 600V Gate Driver portfolio, featuring 12 devices for the protection of discrete MOSFETs and IGBTs. They are available in half-bridge, high-side/low-side and 3-phase driver configurations. And they work with current drive options from 600 mA to 4.5A, and they support 3.3V logic for system integration with MCUs. According to the company, they are also designed with ...

Microchip is aiming at ISO 26262 or IEC 61508 compliance with a functional safety variant of its 8bit AVR family that has two cores operating in lock-step. Called AVR SD, the devices have 32 or 64kbyte of flash, 4 or 8kbyte of ram and 256 bytes of eeprom, and they come in packaes with 20, 28, 32 or 48pins. The ...

Microchip has created a four-channel thermocouple measurement IC with ±1.5°C accuracy. “MCP9604 delivers accuracy at four thermocouple locations by using higher-order NIST ITS-90 equations rather than the single-order linear approximations of analog amplifier designs,” according to the company. “As an example, it achieves ninth-order accuracy with K-type thermocouples, all in one integrated chip containing the ADCs, cold junction compensation temperature ...

Microchip Technology and power supply maker Delta Electronics are to collaborate on silicon carbide (SiC) based power supply design. “SiC is increasingly important in power solutions because of its wide-bandgap properties, which enable smaller and more efficient designs for high-voltage, high-power applications,” said Microchip’s v-p of high-power components Clayton Pillion. So what exactly is going on? “The partnership enables both ...

Microchip has introduced a 15W radiation-rated dc-dc converter for space use. Intended to be fed from a satallite’s 28V bus (22V to 42V, 50V abs max), SA15-5-5T has three isolated 5V 1A outputs that can be paralleled for more current or connected in series for higher voltages. Output ripple is <1%, and operation is over-55 to 125°C, with de-rating above ...

Microchip has created a 78ps-resolution 20bit PWM timer block for a series of MCUs for GaN and SiC based dc-dc converters. There are 16 of them to implement 16 power rails, plus eight 16bit 1.25ns PWMs. The family, dsPIC33AK512MPS512, combines these PWMs with five of the company’s recent 12Bit 40Msample/s ADCs and backs them up with a 200MHz 32bit processing ...

I missed this one before, when it was announced at Electronica: the Uno SPE Shield, created by Arduino and Microchip working together.
