Microchip programming service requires no minimum order
3 May 2006
News
Microchip Technology has launched a new production programming service for its range of PIC microcontrollers. In conjunction with its microchipDIRECT online purchasing site, it says that all of its customers, regardless of order size, can now have their application code programmed into a PIC microcontroller prior to delivery.
Embedded design engineers, from the largest OEM to small business operations, are always on the look-out to streamline efficiency and minimise costs related to production. Microchip claims its Production Programming Service can program to a customer's requirements and typically ship within 48 hours to anywhere currently serviced by microchipDIRECT.
"Microchip's new quick-turn Production Programming Service is part of our continuing efforts to make purchasing and programming PIC microcontrollers easy and convenient for our customers," said Doug Chaffee, of Microchip's microcontroller division. "With our unique no-minimum-order-quantity policy, customers can control inventory and even the small business owner can access services typically reserved for large customers."
Additional information and pricing may be found at Microchip's e-commerce website, www.microchipdirect.com, or through a local representative.
