Microchip Technology develops, manufactures and sells embedded control chips used by other manufacturers inside their own products. Its portfolio spans 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontrollers, 32- and 64-bit microprocessors, analogue devices, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), memory chips such as EEPROMs and Flash, and data-centre parts including storage and memory controllers, switches and retimers. The company packages hardware, software and services together as what it calls a Total System Solution. In July 2024 it entered the 64-bit microprocessor market with its PIC64 RISC-V family.
Customers are equipment makers across automotive, aerospace and defence, communications, consumer appliances, data centres and computing, and industrial markets; it reaches roughly 101,000 of them through its own sales force and through distributors. Beyond chip sales, it earns licence fees and royalties from its SuperFlash and other technologies, charges for engineering services, and offers wafer-foundry and assembly-and-test work.
It sells across three regions — the Americas, Europe and Asia — and owns wafer-fabrication plants in Oregon and Colorado alongside assembly and test sites, while outsourcing a large share of production. Incorporated in Delaware in 1989 and public since 1993, it employs about 17,900 people.
