Microchip Reclaims Top 8-bit Microcontroller Revenue Ranking
Microchip reclaimed the number-one position in worldwide 8-bit microcontroller (MCU) revenue, according to industry analyst firm Gartner’s 2014 rankings. This validates Microchip’s unwavering commitment and innovation efforts for its 8-bit PIC® microcontroller portfolio. While many MCU vendors have deemphasized their 8-bit offerings in recent years, Microchip has continued to innovate across all of its 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit product lines. And it continues to grow market share in all three areas, according to Gartner’s 2014 report. In the 16-bit MCU market, Microchip was the fastest-growing supplier among the top 10 in 2014, growing at greater than 2X the rate of any of the other top 10 companies. Its 32-bit MCUs broke into the top 10 ranking of 32-bit MCU suppliers for the first time in 2014, based on 42.3% growth. For more info, visit www.microchip.com/Homepage-042715a.
