About project Analog sponsor complete analog & interface design solutions Microchip’s integrated analog technology, peripherals and features are engineered to meet today’s demanding design requirements. Our broad spectrum of analog products addresses thermal management, power management, battery management, mixed-signal, linear and interface solutions. Combined with “intelligent Analog” microcontrollers, Microchip offers an extensive analog portfolio for thousands of high-performance design applications in the automotive, communications (wireless), consumer, computing and industrial control markets. Our broad portfolio of stand-along analog and interface devices offers highly integrated solutions that combine various analog functions in space-saving packages and support a variety of bus interfaces. Many of these devices support functionality that enhances the analog features currently available on PIC® microcontrollers. thermal management Temperature Sensors Fan Speed Contollers/ Fan Fault Detectors Power management LDO & Switching Regulators Charge Pump DC/DC Converters Power MOSFET Drivers PWM Contollers System Supervisors Voltage Detectors Li-Ion/Li-Polymer Battery Chargers linear Op Amps Programmable Gain Amplifiers Comparators Linear Integrated Devices mixed-signal A/D Converter Families Digital Potentiometers D/A Converters V/F and F/V Converters Energy Management ICs interfaces CAN Peripherals Infrared Peripherals LIN Transceiver Serial Peripherals Ethernet Controller Contents Viewpoint Charging lithium-ion batteries New trends in battery-powered portable devices Low power design: LDO thermal considerations Analog news a business Partner, not just a vendor Founded in 1989, Microchip’s business model is based on a series of guiding values that aim to establish successful customer partnerships by exceeding expectations for products, services and attitude. Continuous improvement, technology innovation and the pursuit of the highest quality possible drive Microchip’s company culture.
