This chip large factory, two companies acquired two companies in five days!
Although there was news of salary reduction at the beginning of the year, Microchip did not stop the expansion. In April alone, Microchip announced the acquisition of two companies: VSI, Neuronix Ai Labs.On April 11, Microchip acquired VSI headquarters in Seoul, South Korea to use its car network (IVN) car Serdes Alliance (ASA) to open standard technology. VSI provides high -speed, asymmetric, camera, car -based League League (ASA) car network (IVN) open standard sensor and display technology and products, which has not been disclosed.

"Mitch Obolsky, Microchip's car products, networks, and senior vice presidents, said:" This acquisition will bring VSI knowledge team, its market attraction, and Asa Motion Link technology and products into Microchip's extensive automotive network product portfolio to better better better way Serving the ADAS trend we are concerned about. "
"As the industry converge around the three major IVN pillars (Ethernet, PCIE®, and ASA Motion Link), the camera and display connection have become one of the fastest and largest IVN markets. With the help of VSI, Microchip can now provide all three three three three three Large pillar products, and provide our customers with car safety, microcontroller, motor control, touch and power management solutions to support their next -generation software to define car architecture. "
VSI CEO Steve Kang said: "Microchip is a well -known and trusted market leader in the automotive network field. It is known for its car quality and powerful supply chain. Connect to the market with digital cockpit. "
On April 15th, Microchip announced the acquisition of Neuronix AI Labs to expand its capabilities for high -energy efficiency and AI marginal solutions deployed on the on -site programming door array (FPGA). Neuronix AI Labs provides neural network sparse optimization technology, which can reduce the power consumption, size and calculation of image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation tasks, while maintaining high accuracy.

Microchip's mid -range Polarfire® FPGA and SOC have already been in the leading position in the industry in terms of low power consumption, reliability and security functions. The acquisition of this technology will enable Microchip to develop large -scale marginal deployment components that are economically efficient. These components are designed for computer vision applications on systems with cost, size and power consumption. Low -end and mid -end FPGA.
Bruce Weyer, Vice President of Microchip FPGA Business Department, said: "The acquisition of Neuronix AI Labs technology will improve the energy efficiency of FPGA and SOC in the intelligent edge system that uses the AI/ML algorithm." "Neuronix technology and our VECTORBLOX ™ design The combination of processes can improve the performance efficiency of neural networks and provide excellent GOPS/tile performance in our low power Polarfire FPGA and SOC. Power limit and difficult to build these hardware. "
Yaron Raz, chief executive officer of Neuronix AI Labs, said: "Neuronix AI Labs has always focused on producing first -class neural network acceleration architectures and algorithms. These architectures and algorithms can change users' expectations of size, power consumption, performance, and cost." "Add Microchip to The team provides us with a unique opportunity to expand and adjust the FPGA product portfolio, which sets the industry standard for energy efficiency. "
