Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today introduced two 16-bit input/output (I/O) expanders. The MCP23017 is the only 16-bit I/O expander that supports standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz) and high-speed (up to 1.7 MHz) I2C(tm)communications. The MCP23S17 features SPI(tm) clock speeds up to 10 MHz for higher throughput applications.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the expansion of its low-power family of 12-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). The new MCP4821 and MCP4822 DACs provide a unique combination of specifications, which includes smaller packages, high accuracy with Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) of less than +/-0.2 LSB, low power consumption of 400 microamps in an MSOP package, and a precision voltage reference

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today introduced the TC1303/TC1304 and TC1313 series of power management integrated circuits that combine a synchronous buck switching regulator, low dropout regulator (LDO) and power-good function into single-chip solutions. These five new devices offer low-power and low-cost advantages for a variety of battery-operated and dual-output-voltage systems.

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, has expanded its SPI serial EEPROM product line with two high-density (256 Kbit), high-speed (up to 10 MHz) devices. The 25AA256 and 25LC256 serial EEPROMs feature Microchip’s industry-leading endurance and reliability along with Microchip’s commitment to consistent on-time delivery.
