Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MCHP)’s shares dropped -0.21% to $41.78.

Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, declared that designers using the Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) to develop and reuse their in-vehicle software can now connect their systems to not only networking technologies such as CAN and LIN, but also to the MOST® Cooperation’s automotive-proven MOST networking technology. This means that Microchip’s MOST Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INICs) can be used for cross-domain communication in an AUTOSAR system, such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which simplifies automotive networking and diagnostics.

AUTOSAR has developed standardized, open software architecture for automotive electronic control units, which is increasingly being applied in traditional vehicle electronic domains. For example, after the major German vehicle OEMs successfully utilized AUTOSAR in the central areas of their electrical/electronics architectures, they are now extending its use into additional domains. With the introduction of the AUTOSAR 4.x standard, most other OEMs are now also investigating or actively migrating to AUTOSAR. Therefore, it is increasingly important that the infotainment domain of a vehicle is able to support AUTOSAR, at least where an interaction with other domains is necessary.

Microchip Technology Incorporated develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor products for various embedded control applications. The company offers microcontrollers, such as 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microcontrollers under the PIC brand name; and 16-bit dsPIC digital signal controllers, in addition to provides microcontrollers for automotive networking, computing, lighting, power supplies, wireless communication, and wireless audio applications.
