“RISC-V has an inherent advantage, where you can make custom hardware without violating the ISA specification,” says Microchip’s Ruparelia. “You can make processing for a specific data type better, be ...

Microchip recently released the PIC32MZ-W1 wireless MCU along with 20 other WiFi parts, including WiFi MCUs, link controllers, network controllers, and plug-and-play modules. Among them, the ...

The advantage for MIPS is that it’s no longer fighting its perennial foe, Arm, all by itself. It now has a gang (generally called the RISC-V community or ecosystem) helping in the fight through ...

RISC-V, the open source chip architecture, is gaining more and more popularity in the semiconductor industry. The membership of the RISC-V Foundation doubled over the last year to more than 200 ...

No, absolutely not. Apart from the fact that Microchip itself has grown considerably through all the acquisitions, every colleague of mine in the management team has worked for Microchip for at least ...

Lessons are based around the chipKIT Wi-FIRE board from Digilent Inc., which uses Microchip’s popular PIC32MZ MCU incorporating a 32-bit MIPS M-Class CPU from Imagination. A chipKIT Basic I/O Shield ...

The new PIC32MZ microcontrollers from Microchip integrate the revolutionary MIPS M5150 CPU, the company's latest Warrior M-class processor. The PIC32 is an extremely popular family of high-performance ...

The core is not exactly the core used by Microchip, but neither is it dumbed-down – it has a memory management unit (MMU), cache controller and JTAG boundary scan, for example. Called MIPSfpga, it ...

For example, in November 2007, Microchip, which is famous for its PIC16 microcontrollers, introduced its new PIC32MX family of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the MIPS32 M4K Core.
