Microchip is… Industrial Ethernet

Interview With Matthias Karcher, Associate Director of Marketing for Wired Networking at Microchip Technology Inc.

In this podcast, we speak to Matthias Karcher, associate director of marketing for wired networking at Microchip, about how Microchip is working on the development and deployment of industrial Ethernet solutions.

As industries continue to evolve toward smarter, more connected systems, Ethernet has become the backbone of modern industrial communication. Microchip offers a comprehensive portfolio of Industrial Ethernet solutions including transceivers, bridges, and switches that support everything from 10 megabits to multi-gigabit speeds. The portfolio covers standard multi-pair Ethernet to emerging single-pair Ethernet technologies, enabling efficient, high-performance connectivity.

Mike and Matthias discuss why Ethernet continues to dominate industrial networking, the benefits of single-pair Ethernet, and how Microchip helps customers integrate robust networking solutions across a wide range of industrial and embedded applications.

Beyond the Microchip

So much of our daily lives are controlled or influenced by electronics. We rely on GPS to direct us, we hit "brew" on our coffee machines for our mornin' cup of Joe, we wave our hands over a sensor to get running water from a faucet, and press a button to open our garage doors. 

But do we really know what's going on inside? Are we aware of the universe of technology and calculations going on right under our nose?

Beyond the Microchip takes you inside the world of Embedded Control technologies to understand how the chips and sensors we can't see impact our lives in dramatic ways. They remind us why we have and embrace technology, to enhance the human experience. 

Join us each episode as we look at an aspect of our daily lives that shapes what it means to be human and how we can empower the innovation that enhances that experience through Microchip Technology. Subscribe to Beyond the Microchip wherever you get your podcasts.
