Metering

Our family of ICs for smart power meters features the widest dynamic range in the industry as well as extremely high accuracy, helping to improve the performance of smart meters. The chips feature a dynamic range of 6000:1. This allows manufacturers to merge various types of meters currently available, such as 5(20)A, 10(40)A, 15(60)A and 20(80)A, into one standard model [5(100)A or 1(100)A]. Our ICs will simplify the manufacturing process and reduce your overall bill of materials.

Power Line Communications

Our family of system-on-a-chip PLC solutions is designed for narrow-band communications using the wall-voltage electric grid. Backed by our deep expertise in PLC modem technology and extensive collaboration with utilities and metering OEMs, we’ve created solutions with an unprecedented level of integration and performance.

Wireless Communications

Our transceivers deliver the best RF link budget with the industry’s lowest power consumption. What’s more, we offer the most feature-rich IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceiver family available. Our transceivers support both regional sub-1 GHz frequencies, as well as the global 2.4 GHz frequency bands.

The Microchip Advantage

Our combination of discrete devices, as well as highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions built around the same processing platforms, will reduce your time to market and offer you an unmatched level of flexibility in addressing new requirements for your smart metering designs.
