6 Automotive Capabilities
Microchip has an excellent track record for developing
devices with excellent ESD rating. As a result, handling
issues in a production environment are less prevalent.
For example, the MCP202X family of LIN transceiver/
SBC family have been designed with aggressive
robustness targets.

Broad Portfolio of High Temperature Devices
Microchip’s High Temperature technology spans all
product families including Microcontrollers, Analog, and
Memory. Reliability testing is performed to AEC-Q100
Grade 0 (150ºC) and specified for operation up to
150ºC ambient. This enables robust applications
under-hood, down-hole and in-oven. Visit our High
Temperature Design Center, then select a product
family to see the complete high temperature part listing
in that family, with links to data sheets, application
notes and other information.
Robust Solutions
The challenge to deliver an electronic control module
that complies to stringent, ever changing regulations
that performs reliably in a harsh environment without
adding system overhead costs remain. The importance
of system robustness is well understood. From
peripherals like fail safe clocks to brown out resets
to power on resets to watchdog timers and other,
peripheral integration plays a significant role in our
commitment to deliver robust devices.
Our commitment to improve robustness in our solution
is ongoing. Every new technology and product is
designed with our latest innovations to enhance the
robustness profile of each new device.
