Microchip Is... Power and Analog

Interview with Fionn Sheerin of Microchip’s Power and Analog Business Unit. Although perhaps most famous for our microcontrollers and other digital products, Microchip has a very large power and analog portfolio, including AC-DC power conversion, DC-DC controllers, power management ICs and Digitally Enhanced Power Analog devices. Microchip sees power management, which is increasingly governed by software, of growing importance in new applications such as automotive and data centers. In our latest podcast, Fionn Sheerin, Principal Product Marketing Engineer, tells us about Microchip’s wide offering of mixed-signal, linear and power ICs, the advantages of digital control of power and how the company helps ensure that developers get their power designs right first time.

Look out for more upcoming podcasts from Microchip: Beyond the Microchip So much of our daily lives are controlled or influenced by electronics. We rely on GPS to direct us, we hit "brew" on our coffee machines for our mornin' cup of Joe, we wave our hands over a sensor to get running water from a faucet, and press a button to open our garage doors.  But do we really know what's going on inside? Are we aware of the universe of technology and calculations going on right under our nose? Beyond the Microchip takes you inside the world of Embedded Control technologies to understand how the chips and sensors we can't see impact our lives in dramatic ways. They remind us why we have and embrace technology, to enhance the human experience.  Join us each episode as we look at an aspect of our daily lives that shapes what it means to be human and how we can empower the innovation that enhances that experience through Microchip Technology.
