Microchip Launches PIC64GX MPU To Expands Their Processing Solutions

Recently, Microchip Technology introduced the PIC64GX MPU, a global leader in embedded solutions, as the first product in its new 64-bit MPU product line, marking the company's strategic entry into the 64-bit embedded processing market. The announcement positions Microchip as a comprehensive solution provider offering a wide variety of MPUs to meet the energy efficiency, security, and reliability needs of modern real-time, compute-intensive edge applications, including intelligent embedded vision and machine learning (ML).

The PIC64GX MPU is designed to meet the complex demands of intelligent edge computing across various sectors such as industrial, automotive, communications, IoT, aerospace, and defense. It integrates a 64-bit RISC-V® quad-core processor with Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP), offering deterministic latencies for mixed-criticality systems.

“We have been a leader in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit embedded solutions for years, and with the market evolving, it’s imperative that our product lines evolve as well,” said Ganesh Moorthy, CEO and President of Microchip Technology.    “The introduction of our 64-bit MPU portfolio, starting with the PIC64GX, allows us to offer scalable processing solutions across all market segments, empowering our customers to innovate and reuse their designs across a broad spectrum of applications.”

The PIC64GX family’s pin compatibility with Microchip’s PolarFire® SoC FPGA devices provides unparalleled flexibility in embedded solution development.    Additionally, the MPUs are supported by Microchip’s robust ecosystem of tools and software, including the PIC64GX Curiosity Evaluation Kit and MPLAB® Extensions for VS Code®, which are available for immediate deployment.

The launch of the PIC64GX MPU not only expands Microchip’s processing solutions but also sets the stage for future innovations in spaceflight computing, with the upcoming PIC64 High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (PIC64-HPSC) MPU, which will offer 100 times more compute performance than traditional space processors.
