Introduction: On May 29, 2018, Microchip Technology Inc. (“Microchip”) completed its acquisition of Microsemi Corporation. A copy of the press release regarding this acquisition is available on Microchip’s website, www.microchip.com.
Information Transfer from Microsemi SoC Corp. to Microchip: Microsemi Corporation or its affiliates (collectively, “Microsemi”) operated the Microsemi SoC(FPGA) portal for Microsemi SoC Corp.’s FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) business, accessible via https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/documentation(“SoC Portal”). Based on our records, we understand that you were granted access to this portal, which contains certain documentation, software, or licensing resources related to Microsemi SoC Corp.’s FPGA products or services (collectively, “FPGA Technical Resources”).
Following the acquisition, Microchip and Microsemi have been working to review and integrate existing business operations.
We are excited to announce that the FPGA software, design files and licenses are moving to myMicrochip and microchipDIRECT!
