LOW-POWER ANALOG SOLUTIONS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
Analog Competency
The demand for automobile electronics has never been 
greater. Do you need lower quiescent currents? Does 
your design require reduced board space? Designers 
of electronic control modules within the automobile are 
being challenged to deliver increased performance in a 
variety of systems including: powertrain, chassis, comfort, 
driver information, entertainment and safety. Microchip’s 
broad portfolio of low-power analog products enable the 
development of cost-effective solutions that address these 
challenges and others facing the system designer.
Being one of the fi rst companies to apply Non-Volatile 
Memory (NVM) technology to the development process for 
analog products, Microchip has utilized its NVM experience 
to deliver innovative analog solutions with unchallenged 
electrical characteristics.
Leveraging experience from the integration of analog 
features on PIC® microcontrollers, nanoWatt technology 
and low pin count packages, Microchip’s analog circuitry 
consists of more than 400 different power management, 
linear, mixed signal, thermal management and interface 
products. As an innovative, market leading supplier of low- 
power solutions, Microchip Technology continues to expand 
its analog product portfolio to support the demanding needs 
of the automotive designer.
