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.
Microchip (Nasdaq:MCHP) is making its MPLAB XC Pro Compilers and MPLAB Machine Learning Development Suite available at no cost, with unlimited installs for individuals and teams. These tools support optimized embedded code and integrated ML workflows across Microchip’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCU/MPU portfolio.
TÜV SÜD‑certified MPLAB XC Functional Safety Compilers are also now free to download, with paid certification documentation and support available when needed. Updates and priority technical support are included at no additional charge.
Microchip (Nasdaq:MCHP) introduced the DSA504RT, a radiation-tolerant, six-output programmable clock generator for spacecraft and aerospace timing systems. It generates multiple clean, phase-aligned frequencies from one master source, aiming to cut oscillator count, power consumption, mass and Bill of Materials cost.
The device integrates an Analog PLL with spread spectrum, fractional and integer dividers, and six configurable outputs supporting LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL or CMOS. It delivers jitter as low as 200 femtoseconds (12kHz–20MHz) and is compliant with PCIe Gen 1–7 standards. Offered in QFN28 and CQFP32 packages, DSA504RT is positioned as a companion for radiation-tolerant and radiation-hardened FPGAs and MCUs in complex space systems. Sampling is available on a limited basis through Microchip sales channels.
Microchip (Nasdaq:MCHP) announced that its Nantes, France facility has expanded its MIL‑PRF‑38535 Qualified Manufacturers List scope to include QML Class Y, in addition to existing Classes Q and V held since 1999.
This adds non‑hermetic packaging capabilities, supports advanced space and defense architectures, and strengthens Microchip’s European high‑reliability manufacturing footprint, including support for qualification and testing of its PIC64 High‑Performance Spaceflight Computing microprocessors.
