Microchip provides a very broad range of devices – targeting different applications and usage models. With these devices comes a software framework, which contains tested and verified software in the form of drivers and APIs – a solid basis for building customer software. Also, Microchip provides in-house developed software tools and more than 100 different boards and kits to support a variety of applications. All of this is supplied by Microchip. On top of this, customers can build their differentiation. Now, since so much is done upfront by Microchip, customers get support in the daunting task of building differentiated products in a shorter time span with fewer resources. The time savings don’t stop here, though. The experts behind the technology share their knowledge through application notes and reference designs, and are also there to help adapt applications to the underlying technology platform.
