Microchip Technology announced in February the shipment of its 400 000th development tool. Few semiconductor companies can match Microchip in the total number of tools installed in the field.
Said Derek Carlson, director of Development Tools at Microchip: "The shipment of our 400 000th development tool is proof of Microchip's leadership in this market. It reflects our commitment to going beyond simply offering silicon to providing engineers with a 'whole product solution' comprised of sophisticated development tools, field application engineer support and comprehensive technical documentation."
Microchip provides easy-to-use tools, allowing engineers to design with Microchip's 8-bit and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers, 16-bit dsPIC digital signal controllers, analog and interface devices, and EEPROM memory products. Because the silicon and tools have been produced by the same source, design burdens caused by technical problems resulting from tool and silicon incompatibility are eliminated and the technical support offered is maximised.
