Microchip Technology's MCP651 Evaluation Board (Part # MCP651EV-VOS) provides a simple means for measuring the MCP651 op amp’s input offset voltage under a variety of conditions. The board is priced at $30, and is available today at www.microchipdirect.com.
Microchip Technology's MCP9808 silicon temperature sensor serves a broad range of applications by guaranteeing high accuracy of 0.5 degrees from -20 to +100 degrees Celsius, along with high temperature resolution of 12 bits (0.0625 degrees Celsius/LSB). The MCP9808 comes in small MSOP and 2x3 mm DFN 8-pin packages, for space-constrained applications. Additional features include shutdown, an under/over-temperature monitor and a critical-temperature alert. For more information, visit: www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en556...
Uses the Microchip MCP3424 ADC. Various build options are possible, including single-ended and/or double-ended inputs to the ADC, separate analogue voltage supply (via DC-DC converter and linear regulator). Two open-drain outputs enable switching of fans, relays etc. There are connectors for the buffered I2C interface and a 1-wire interface.
I have several intended uses for these PCBs, including a Raspberry Pi magnetometer and a temperature sensor/fan controller board for an auroral camera.

Microchip Technology's MCP14628 and MCP14700 Synchronous Buck MOSFET Drivers provide maximum efficiency in small packages. The devices drive two N-Channel MOSFETs arranged in a non-isolated, Synchronous Buck converter topology. They feature excellent latch-up immunity, enabling extremely robust applications in the consumer and computing markets, such as digital power conversion, DC-to-DC power supplies, three-phase BLDC motor control and telecom equipment.
Originaly this keypad had a USB interface. Too complicated for my embeded system to talk with a USB device. I ripped the inside out and installed a PIC16F627A. The keystrokes are sent out via a simple serial port.
A microchip amongst food and beverage at a hacker's workspace in the EECS Building during MHacks 6 in Ann Arbor, MI on September 13, 2015.
Hackers lived in their own project spaces for the entire 36 hours, often saving precious time to complete their hacks for the given deadline by placing wrappers, boxes, and other forms of waste within their work spaces.
MHacks is the largest student-run hackathon in the nation and garners participants from all across the globe each fall and winter semesters. Participants spend 36 hours working in teams, creating and innovating hacks based on various platforms, causes, and technology.

Microchip Technology's MCP651/2/5 Op Amps are the world's first and only op amps to include an on-chip, one-shot calibration circuit that calibrates offset voltage at power-up using an internal power on-reset detector, or based upon the state of an external pin. The result is a low initial voltage offset and a means to minimize drift over time and temperature.
The PIC16F1934/6/7 are the first microcontrollers to feature Microchip's enhanced Mid-range 8-bit core.
The Powercast Wireless Sensor Board was custom designed by Microchip and Powercast for inclusion in the world’s first RF energy harvesting kit that enables battery-free, perpetually powered wireless applications. The combination of Powercast’s RF Energy Harvesting System and Microchip’s eXtreme Low Power PIC® Microcontrollers eliminates batteries in a wide range of applications.

The Ethernet PICtail™ Daughter Board provides a cost-effective method of evaluating and developing Ethernet control applications. The board is designed for flexibility and can be plugged into a wide selection of Microchip’s standard PICDEM™ demonstration boards. The development board is populated with the 28-pin ENC28J60 Ethernet controller which interfaces to the RJ-45 female connector. With a standard 28-pin PICtail pin out, the board is easily interfaced to Microchip’s 8-bit demonstration boards.
Features
10BASE-T Ethernet
RJ-45 Female Ethernet Connector
Plug in compatible with these evaluation and demonstration boards:
PICDEM HPC Explorer (DM183022)
PICDEM LCD Demonstration Board (DM163028)
PICDEM Z Zigbee Demonstration Board (DM163025)
Design, production, assembly, testing and packaging of microchips typically takes place in different geographical zones across the globe. Production involves more than 1 000 steps, often crossing international borders over 70 times before reaching end-customers. Due to the pandemic, there is an unprecedented shortage of chips, disrupting EU production capacity (e.g. of cars). An expected 'EU microchips act' proposal aims at strengthening the European chips eco-system.
