Embedded Controllers and Super I/O
Embedded and Keyboard Controllers
Scalable family of embedded controllers with common peripheral blocks and registers.
Manage Your Embedded System with One Chip
Embedded Controllers (EC) are essential components to most modern-day computing systems. They control peripherals and manage key system functions in a low-power, high-performance package.
Featured Families
Desktop and Industrial Super I/O
System Management Simplified
Super I/O Chips combine the functionality of many low-bandwidth device controllers into a single product. Microchip’s Super I/Os have additional integrated features for total system management.

Motion and Position Solutions
Making Motion Easy
Developing applications with motion/position sensors can require sophisticated knowledge and significant resources.
Because this can be difficult, Microchip has developed a solution that make it easy to design motion-based applications. The MM7150 motion module integrates Microchip’s SSC7150 motion coprocessor along with the 9-axis motion sensors. It comes pre-programmed with sophisticated sensor fusion algorithms which intelligently filter, compensate and combine the raw sensor data to provide highly accurate position and orientation information.
Key Benefits
- Motion coprocessors filter, compensate and fuse raw 9-axis sensor data - Improved system performance with smoother, faster and accurate orientation data
- Self-calibrating over time - Improves estimates of orientation
- Low power - Suitable for battery powered applications
- Outputs position and motion data over standard I2C connection - Works with most MCUs with I2C
- SSC7102 motion coprocessor Windows® 8.1 certification – Proven outputs
Applications
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Gaming
- Remotes
- Robots
- Wearables
- Physical therapy
- Toys
- Stabilization/Positioning
- Transportation
- Smart farms
- Windows-based tablets, ultrabooks, notebooks and All-in-Ones (AiO)
