Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) announced a demonstration of an end-to-end PCIe Gen 6 storage architecture developed in collaboration with Micron Technology. The setup combines Microchip’s Switchtec Gen 6 PCIe fanout switches with Micron 9650 PCIe Gen 6 NVMe SSDs to showcase higher bandwidth, lower latency and scalable connectivity for AI, high-performance computing and cloud data center workloads, and is being shown at the 2026 Future of Memory and Storage Conference.
The Switchtec Gen 6 switches, built on 3 nm process technology, support high lane counts, advanced error containment, diagnostics and multicast for efficient one-to-many data distribution between CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, AI accelerators and storage. They also integrate a hardware root of trust and secure boot using post-quantum-safe cryptography that meets CNSA 2.0 security standards. Micron’s 9650 SSDs, described as the industry’s first mass-produced PCIe Gen 6 SSDs, are designed for high throughput, IOPS and low latency in AI training, real-time analytics and large databases.
Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) signed a definitive agreement to acquire Hailo, a provider of accelerated edge AI processors, advanced vision processing solutions, robotics processors and AI software flows. The deal is expected to close toward the end of the quarter ending September 30, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Financial terms are not being disclosed and, according to Microchip, the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on its financial results.
The proposed acquisition is expected to broaden Microchip’s processing portfolio for intelligent edge systems, adding Hailo’s Hailo‑8, Hailo‑10 and Hailo‑15 products that support classic computer vision plus camera, ISP, DSP, video encoding and AI video stream processing. Microchip would gain multiple products, more than 100 current customers and a developer community of over 10,000 users. Hailo’s edge AI accelerators and vision SoCs support workloads including CNNs, transformers, LLM/VLM, image signal processing and H.264/H.265 encoding, complementing Microchip’s existing embedded processing, FPGA, connectivity, security, power and analog portfolio while advancing its strategy for power‑efficient AI at the edge.
Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has expanded its Power over Ethernet portfolio with the PD-9601GCI, an industrial-grade single-port midspan designed to meet the IEEE 802.3bt standard for demanding factory and outdoor environments. The device can deliver up to 90W of power and 10/100/1000 Mbps data over a single Ethernet cable, enabling PoE deployment without replacing existing switches.
The PD-9601GCI features an IP30-rated sealed metal enclosure, extended operating temperature from -40°C to 75°C, dual DC input support from 20V–60V, enhanced industrial surge protection, and multiple mounting options (DIN rail, wall, panel). It has been tested for compatibility with industrial automation devices and is available in production quantities through Microchip and its authorized distributors.
Microchip (Nasdaq: MCHP) introduced the VectorBlox 3.0 Accelerator SDK, a free software toolchain and associated CoreVectorBlox IP for deploying convolutional neural network (CNN) models on PolarFire FPGA and SoC platforms. The integrated SDK streamlines optimization, compilation and deployment of AI inference for power‑constrained, mission‑critical edge applications.
According to Microchip, VectorBlox 3.0 leverages sparsity‑based model compression technology from its Neuronix acquisition to skip zero‑valued operations, reducing compute and memory demands while helping preserve accuracy. This supports multiple AI workloads on a single low‑power device, with examples in Low Earth Orbit satellites and autonomous space operations using PolarFire’s SEU immunity, secure boot, anti‑tamper and high‑reliability features.
