SP7HPD Hybrid Power Drive Modules
Microchip’s SP7HPD Hybrid Power Drive Modules support actuation and power generation applications up to 80 kW for traditional aerospace, defense and emerging eVTOL applications. Offered in a compact 6-pack configuration with integrated shunt resistor and thermal sensing, the modules are available with either IGBT or SiC MOSFET technology to balance efficiency, power density and design flexibility. Designed for harsh aerospace environments, SP7HPD modules feature lightweight, low-inductance packaging and meet stringent requirements including wide operating temperatures down to –55°C and DO-160 compliance. Optional intDrive™ configurations are available to further simplify system integration by combining the power stage and gate driver in custom solutions.

MCP16701A PMIC Delivers High-Performance and High-Accuracy for MPU, FPGA and PCI100x Switch Power Solutions
Microchip has introduced the MCP16701A PMIC, an optimally configured solution for PCIe® Gen4 switch applications designed to power the PCI100x family, while also expanding the MCP16701 portfolio to support broader FPGA and MPU requirements. The device integrates eight 1.5A buck converters (which can be paralleled), four 300 mA low-dropout regulators (LDOs), and a controller for external MOSFETs, with pre-set output voltages that align to PCI100x power needs to simplify system design. This high level of integration enables up to 48% board space reduction and reduces component count to less than 60% compared to discrete approaches, all within a compact 8 mm × 8 mm VQFN package suited for space-constrained applications. Together, these capabilities reflect Microchip’s strength in delivering proven, system-level solutions that pair seamlessly with its industrial and Edge AI platforms, helping customers accelerate time to market and reduce design risk; for additional support, Microchip offers the PCI1003 PMIC Power Subsystem Board User Guide.
