Microchip Launches New Touch Controllers for Display-Free Human Machine Interfaces

Microchip Technology introduced the MTCH3380P and MTCH3240P, its first turnkey capacitive-touch controllers to use parallel sensing for buttons, sliders and wheels.

The new devices are designed for display-free human machine interfaces used in appliances, industrial equipment and outdoor systems, where large numbers of touch sensors can otherwise slow response times and reduce signal quality.

Both controllers use 12 on-chip analog-to-digital converters operating in parallel. The MTCH3380P supports up to 38 sensors in self-capacitance mode and 64 in mutual-capacitance mode, while the MTCH3240P supports up to 24 and 32 sensors, respectively.

Microchip said the design improves acquisition speed, signal-to-noise ratio and touch reliability, including through thick cover materials and when users are wearing gloves. Target applications include ovens, cooktops, refrigerators, washing machines, EV chargers, parking meters and kiosks.

The devices also support customer-driven IEC 60730 Class B functional safety certification and operation at temperatures up to 105°C.

Pricing starts at $1.06 for the MTCH3380P and $0.80 for the MTCH3240P in 10,000-unit quantities, positioning the products as relatively low-cost components for more advanced capacitive-touch interfaces.

Microchip Expands Single Pair Ethernet Portfolio for Automotive and Industrial Edge Networks

Microchip Technology has expanded its 10BASE-T1S portfolio with new transceivers and integrated endpoint devices designed to simplify Ethernet connectivity at the network edge.

The new lineup includes the LAN8679 and LAN8680 transceivers, as well as the LAN8660X/1X/2X endpoint family. The products are aimed at automotive zonal architectures, industrial automation, robotics and other applications where designers are trying to reduce wiring, simplify network architecture and connect more edge devices directly to Ethernet.

The LAN8679 uses a standardized Open Alliance 3-Pin interface in a compact package, while the LAN8680 adds system-level functions including power management, wake and sleep control and watchdog supervision. Both are designed to support demanding automotive and industrial environments and are being developed with AEC-Q100 and ISO 26262 requirements in mind.

Microchip’s LAN8660X/1X/2X family goes a step further by integrating the transceiver into a single-chip Remote Control Protocol solution, reducing the need for separate PHY components in applications such as lighting, control systems and audio.

A key advantage of 10BASE-T1S is its multidrop architecture. Multiple nodes, typically eight or more, can share a single bus line, potentially reducing wiring weight, system cost and gateway requirements.

The launch strengthens Microchip’s position in the shift toward all-Ethernet architectures, particularly in vehicles and industrial systems where more sensors and actuators are being connected directly to distributed edge networks.

Microchip and Marelli Launch Open-Standard Display Connectivity Solution for Software-Defined Vehicles

Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) and automotive technology supplier Marelli have introduced a new open-standard display connectivity solution designed for the rapidly developing software-defined vehicle market.

The joint solution allows graphics and video generated by a vehicle’s centralized computer to be streamed directly to automotive displays using ASA Motion Link, or ASA-ML. The technology is intended to simplify vehicle display architectures, reduce system costs and give automakers greater flexibility when selecting component suppliers.

The system uses Microchip’s VS7000 ASA-ML chipset to process and transmit video and graphics over a standardized high-speed connection. Marelli provides the display-side integration, enabling standardized streams carrying camera feeds, navigation maps, infotainment graphics and vehicle-control interfaces to be decoded directly at the display.

A key aspect of the technology is its use of an open standard rather than a proprietary automotive video interface. ASA-ML was developed by the Automotive SerDes Alliance, whose members include automakers, Tier 1 suppliers and semiconductor companies. Microchip is a founding member of the alliance. The standard is designed to allow components from different technology suppliers to operate together, potentially reducing vendor dependence for automakers.

The solution supports data rates of up to 16 Gbps, along with link-layer authentication and encryption, lossless data transmission and resistance to electromagnetic interference. It also provides a pathway toward increasingly Ethernet-centric vehicle architectures.

For Microchip, the collaboration expands its automotive connectivity opportunity as vehicle manufacturers increasingly shift toward centralized computing and software-defined architectures. Rather than using separate computing resources for individual displays and functions, next-generation vehicles are moving toward powerful central computers connected to distributed displays, cameras and other endpoints. Microchip’s ASA-ML technology positions the company to provide part of the high-speed connectivity infrastructure required by that transition.
