About Microchip Technology Inc
Microchip Technology became an independent company in 1989 when it was spun off from General Instrument. More than half of its revenue comes from microcontrollers, used in a wide array of electronic devices from remote controls to garage door openers to power windows in autos. Its strength lies in lower-end 8-bit MCUs suited to less technologically advanced devices, though it has also expanded into higher-end MCUs and analog chips.
