shortened design and production cycles. By owning the
wafer fabrication facilities and the majority of the test
and assembly operations, and by employing proprietary
statistical process control techniques, Microchip has been
able to achieve and maintain high production yields.
Need Additional Support and Resources?
Microchip is committed to supporting its customers by
helping design engineers develop products faster and
