Direct control over manufacturing resources allows 

shortened design and production cycles . By owning the 

wafer fabrication facilities and the majority of the test 

and assembly operations, and by employing proprietary 

statistical process control techniques, Microchip has been 

able to achieve and maintain high production yields .

Microchip is committed to supporting its customers by

helping design engineers develop products faster and 

more efficiently . Customers can access three main 

service areas at www .microchip .com . The Support area 

provides a fast way to get questions answered . The 

Sample area offers evaluation samples of any Microchip 

device . microchipDIRECT provides 24-hour pricing, 

ordering, inventory and credit for convenient purchasing 

of all Microchip devices and development tools . This 

site also features online programming capabilities . 

Finally, the Training area offers opportunities to expand 

your knowledge with Microchip’s online web seminars 

and hands-on courses at our worldwide Technical 

Training Centers . Our seminars and training classes are 

designed to fit your schedule and offer an overview of 

many product, development tool and application topics .
