About Microchip Space

Microchip Technology (space division) is the space electronics product line of Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP), a $40B+ semiconductor company headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. Through its 2018 acquisition of Microsemi, Microchip inherited a comprehensive portfolio of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant devices including microcontrollers (RTG4 FPGA, SmartFusion2 SoC-FPGA), power management ICs, timing products, and memory for spacecraft applications. Microsemi itself had acquired Actel (FPGAs) and other space electronics companies over the years. Microchip's space products serve NASA missions, defense satellites, and commercial spacecraft, competing with Xilinx/AMD, BAE Systems, and Renesas in the space-grade semiconductor market. The space product line benefits from Microchip's broad R&D, qualification infrastructure, and long-term production commitments expected by space programs.
