PoE switches designed for outdoor use in smart buildings and cities enable services ranging from public Wi-Fi and video surveillance to connected streetlights that increasingly need better reliability and cybersecurity protection. Extending the industry’s family of PoE switches with the high industry-standard outdoor protection for these applications, Microchip Technology has developed the PDS-204GCO switch that adds increased cyber protection plus the redundancy required for high network availability in mission-critical applications with long-distance connectivity. It also complies with the high outdoor industry-standards.

Here we go again; 8-bit MCUs are not dead yet. I said a few years ago that I’d give this argument up, and simply wait for the official announcement, but apparently, I shouldn’t hold my breath.

CHANDLER, Arizona —  Microchip Technology announced new industrial-grade single pair ethernet (SPE) products. The 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHYs are designed to connect edge IIoT devices to the cloud, and industrial versions of its 100BASE-T1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet PHY transceivers and switches are designed for high-speed applications across wide Ethernet networks.

A must see at embedded world 2023 is our friends and neighbors at Microchip. Visit hall 3 booth 443 to explore its latest demos under the themes of sustainability, security, and functional safety.

Microchip’s new LAN8650 and LAN8651 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY Ethernet Controllers with SPI Interface simplify the implementation of zonal architectures by enabling basic MCUs, rather than higher-level MCUs with a MAC, to be used when creating sensors, actuators, and other devices for the edge of OT and IT networks.

ARIES Embedded and Emdalo Technologies collaborated to enhance embedded modules centered on Microchip's PolarFire SoC architecture. ARIES designed the M100PF and M100PFS system-on-modules (SoM) delivering effective embedded ecosystems for power computations in applications such as smart embedded vision, industrial automation, communications, and IoT.

RISC-V Summit, San Jose. Microchip worked with NASA and the aerospace and defense industry to develop a RISC-V-based High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) processor that is being presented at the RISC-V Summit. Microchip is also promoting its PolarFire 2 FPGA silicon platform and RISC-V-based processor subsystem with a software suite roadmap at the Summit.
