Microcontrollers (MCUs or “micro controllers” are the brains behind many of the things we use every day. As such, they are a hot commodity in the microcontroller industry. To keep up with the demand for these chips, the largest MCU companies in the world will often add 1 or more new MCU types to their list of products. Microchip, the largest MCU Company in the world, has over 50 chip types in its product lineup. The sensors and control chips used in IoT solutions and consumer devices will continue to grow in popularity, and the companies that develop and manufacture these types of chips will reap the rewards.
