With approximately 20,000 MCUs available within a 10-week lead time, we offer a broad portfolio of readily available devices across multiple families and application requirements. Our portfolio helps you identify suitable solutions without extended delays, helping support faster project development timelines.
Our MPLAB® development ecosystem includes tools designed to help accelerate development, including a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE), compilers, code generation tools and development boards.
Move from setup to development more quickly with the MPLAB AI Coding Assistant, an AI-enabled extension for VS Code® that helps reduce development time through real-time code generation, autocomplete and intelligent troubleshooting.
We also support a wide range of third-party development tools, allowing developers to continue using familiar environments and workflows.
Migrating to Microchip devices is supported by engineering resources designed to simplify the transition process.
MicroCheck provides hands-on support to review board layouts and schematics during migration projects.
Switching vendors doesn't have to be complicated. Microchip conversion guides provide step-by-step assistance throughout the migration process, from initial part selection through final design verification.
Microcheck gives developers access to engineering support for migration projects. The service includes board layout and schematic reviews, compatibility guidance and recommendations for transition planning.
How do I switch from another microcontroller vendor to Microchip?
Use the cross-reference tool to identify a pin- and feature-compatible Microchip alternative, then follow the conversion guides to support the migration process. Link Here
Can I swap my current microcontroller for a Microchip part without redesigning my board?
In many cases pin-compatible alternatives are available. MicroCheck can review existing layouts and schematics to help determine what changes may be required. Link Here
What's the easiest way to migrate a project to a different microcontroller brand?
Start with the cross-reference matrix to identify a compatible device, then use the conversion guides for step-by-step migration support. Link Here
Is there a tool that shows me a Microchip equivalent to my current microcontroller?
Yes. The cross-reference tool allows users to search by part number to find compatible Microchip alternatives. Link Here
How do I find a replacement microcontroller if my current vendor has extended lead times?
Search the cross-reference tool for compatible alternatives, then review current availability using the lead time solutions tool. Link Here
Can I replace my current microcontroller with one that has improved availability?
Many Microchip parts offer shorter lead times across a range of embedded applications. The lead time solutions tool provides current availability information by part number. Link Here
What's involved in converting a design from one microcontroller vendor to another during development?
The scope depends on the selected device and application requirements. Conversion guides and MicroCheck resources help identify required changes and reduce redesign effort. Link Here
Are migration guides available for switching microcontroller vendors?
Yes. Conversion guides are available covering part selection, migration considerations and final design verification. Link Here
Does switching microcontroller vendors mean sacrificing features or performance?
Cross-reference resources are designed to help identify alternatives with comparable functionality and peripheral support. Link Here
Who can help me quickly pick a replacement microcontroller for my project?
Our sales and engineering teams can assist with device selection and migration support based on project requirements and timelines. Link Here
Can I switch from an STM32® to a Microchip microcontroller?
Yes. Use the cross-reference tool to identify compatible Microchip alternatives for STM32 devices and follow the conversion guides to support migration activities. Link Here
What are some alternatives to STM32 devices with improved availability?
Many Microchip devices offer comparable lead times across multiple embedded applications. Search the cross-reference tool by part number to explore compatible alternatives and current availability. Link Here
What options are available if my current supplier has extended lead times?
The cross-reference tool can help identify compatible Microchip alternatives. Microchip sales and engineering teams can also assist with migration planning and device selection. Link Here
How do I find a Microchip equivalent to my ST part number?
Enter the ST part number into the cross-reference tool to identify compatible Microchip alternatives with similar specifications and functionality. Link Here
Is redesigning a board originally built around an ST microcontroller difficult?
Migration complexity depends on the design and device selection. MicroCheck provides engineering support to review existing layouts and schematics and help identify recommended modifications. Link Here
