EDN Magazine selected Microchip's PIC24F16KA nanoWatt XLP PIC microcontrollers as its Innovation Award winner in the "Microcontroller" category, marking Microchip's second consecutive win. Additionally, Microchip was a finalist in "Analog Signal An analog or analogue signal is any time continuous signal where some time varying feature of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity. It differs from a digital signal in that small fluctuations in the signal are meaningful. Path" category for its MCP (1) See Microsoft certification.
(2) (MultiChip Package) A chip package that contains two or more chips. It is essentially a multichip module (MCM) that uses a laminated, printed-circuit-board-like substrate (MCM-L) rather than ceramic (MCM-C). 651/2/5 operational amplifiers (op amps). EDN's technical editors nominate the most unique, state-of-the-art electronics products, and then let its readership vote for the candidates via an online balloting process. EDN then uses a combination of these audience votes, balloting of its Editorial Advisory Board, and voting by its editorial staff to determine the ultimate winner in each category.
"Microchip continues to gain industry recognition for the leading technology that customers have already come to expect, including highly integrated PIC microcontrollers with the world's lowest power consumption," said Ganesh Moorthy, Microchip COO. "Designers also prefer the flexibility of our open-source mTouch sensing solutions, and the synergistic convenience of our broad portfolio of low-power analog products. We are honored by all of these prestigious awards, and will continue to bring our customers the very best solutions for their embedded design needs."
The EN-Genius Network named Microchip's MCP2036 Inductive Touch-Sensing Analog Front End (AFE (Apple File Exchange) An earlier Macintosh utility that converted data files between Mac and PC formats. It also included a file translator between IBM's DCA format and MacWrite. ) its Product of the Year in the "Best AFE Sampling System" category. Award winners are selected from among the products reviewed by their editorial team during the course of the year, on the basis of technical merit and likelihood of market success.
Finally, two of the aforementioned Microchip products were also finalists in Design News Magazine's annual Golden Mousetrap Awards, which recognize engineering innovation and creativity in product design. The MCP651/2/5 op amps were named in the "Components, Hardware & Interconnects" category, while the PIC24F16KA microcontrollers were named in the "Power Management" category.
