Microchip's 1.2V clock buffers link latest SoCs and FPGAs with higher voltage components. September 9, 2026 The demand for low-voltage clock drivers continues to grow with the rapid adoption of advanced FinFET process nodes used in high-performance FPGAs, SoCs, AI accelerators and next-generation CPUs. Printed circuit board designers face increasing challenges due to the limited availability of standard 1.2V LVCMOS clock buffers and level-translating buffers capable of converting higher-voltage clock signals to the lower-voltage levels required by these advanced devices. Conventional approaches that rely on discrete components and voltage-divider techniques can compromise signal integrity and clock duty-cycle accuracy while increasing board complexity and component count. Microchip Technology has introduced the SY757xx family, a comprehensive portfolio of 1.2V-output LVCMOS clock buffers, designed to address these challenges. The new devices simplify system design by eliminating the need for traditional discrete-component implementations while delivering ultra-low additive jitter performance. To provide flexibility for supporting legacy board power supplies and different clock-source voltage levels, the devices support a broad range of supply voltage (VDD) and a wide operating frequency range. The SY757xx family enables ultra-low additive jitter clock distribution while maintaining the high clock resolution and signal integrity required for today's high-speed FPGA, SoC and CPU platforms. "Our SY757xx family of clock buffers helps customers overcome the growing clock distribution challenges associated with next-generation high-performance FPGA, SoC and CPU platforms," said Maamoun Abou Seido, appointed vice president of Microchip's timing and communications business unit. "By combining ultra-low additive jitter performance with broad VDD and wide frequency support in a single-chip solution, the SY757xx devices simplify board design, reduce component count and help customers maintain the signal integrity and timing accuracy required in today's high-performance computing applications." Microchip's SY757xx family strengthens the clock buffer's role as a critically important SoC and FPGA interface for clock distribution and clock fanout functionality in application platforms where signal integrity is paramount. These platforms demand high-speed parallel processing, hardware reconfigurability, low latency and efficient real-time computing. These capabilities are required for applications ranging from embedded vision and video processing to AI/ML acceleration, industrial control and IoT, networking and communications, and signal processing and embedded systems. Launching three products in production and eight that are sampling in limited volumes, the family spans a wide array of configurations in three space-saving packaging options. The devices protect against clock distortion across a 0 Hz to 250 MHz frequency spectrum while also offering a broad range of power supply input and output options across the 1.2V to 3.3V voltage-translation input range. This includes a single-chip option that reliably interconnects 3.3V components to FPGAs and SoCs with a 1.2V clock signal requirement. Additive jitter is as low as 26 femtoseconds (fs). Compared to traditional discrete component solutions for these FPGA and SoC applications, the Microchip buffers simplify design and reduce bill-of-materials costs while helping to optimize AC coupling and biasing and maintain signal integrity. Voltage dividers using discrete components may not provide adequate design margin and can degrade signal integrity by causing duty-cycle distortion. Microchip clock buffers complement the company's comprehensive range of flash-based FPGAs and SoC FPGAs spanning ultra-low density to mid-range density devices. These and other Microchip products that range from microcontrollers and analog components to power management, timing, connectivity and memory devices are pre-engineered and validated to enable a simplified, lower-risk and more holistic approach to system design.
Microchip launches 1.2V clock buffers for SoCs and FPGAs. Single-chip solutions perform voltage translation across a broad operating range while simplifying interconnection with the latest processors' highly precise internal clock networks September 9, 2026 As advanced FinFET technologies become more common in high-performance FPGAs, SoCs, AI accelerators, and next-generation processors, the need for low-voltage clock drivers is increasing. PCB designers are finding it difficult to source standard 1.2V LVCMOS clock buffers and level-translating solutions that can convert higher-voltage clock signals to the lower voltages required by these modern devices. Using separate components or voltage-divider circuits as an alternative can add board complexity and increase component count, while potentially reducing signal quality and affecting clock duty-cycle accuracy.

Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) announced that its CZ39 and CZ3K coreless current sensors have been integrated into Microchip Technology's machine learning-based arc fault detection reference design. The system uses Microchip's dsPIC33A Digital Signal Controller to detect arc faults, a leading cause of electrical fires in solar PV systems, energy storage, EV charging, and power distribution. Traditional threshold-based detection struggles to distinguish real arc events from normal system activity, resulting in false positives or missed faults. The new design runs edge machine learning models directly on the controller, enabling local decision-making without external processing. AKM's sensors feature 100-nanosecond response time and low-noise signal quality, critical for capturing arc signatures. The reference design targets applications including solar PV, energy storage, EV chargers, and industrial safety switches. Asahi Kasei has positioned electronics as a growth priority, with current sensors targeting AI and data centre applications.
Asahi Kasei current sensors featured in Microchip Arc Fault Detection design. September 8, 2026 Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM), part of the global Asahi Kasei Group, has announced that its CZ39 and CZ3K series coreless current sensors have been selected for Microchip Technology's machine-learning and AI-based Arc Fault Detection (AFD) reference design. The design uses Microchip's dsPIC33A Digital Signal Controller (DSC) to enable real-time arc fault detection. The solution combines AKM's current-sensing technology with the dsPIC33A's real-time signal processing and edge machine-learning capabilities, helping deliver dependable and precise arc fault detection. Because the dsPIC33A processes signals and runs the machine-learning inference algorithms directly on the controller, the system can make detection decisions locally without relying on external processing hardware. Arc faults are a leading cause of electrical fires in solar PV systems, energy storage systems, EV charging infrastructure, and industrial and residential power distribution. Conventional threshold-based detection struggles to distinguish real arc events from normal system activity. In residential and commercial AC circuits, everyday loads such as vacuum cleaners, power drills, and light dimmers produce arcing at switch contacts and motor brushes that closely resembles a dangerous arc fault. In DC systems such as solar PV, EV charging, and energy storage, switching transients from relay contact bounce, inverter operation, and capacitor inrush generate broadband noise in the same frequency bands as actual arc faults. In both cases, the result is either false positives that cause unnecessary shutdowns, or relaxed thresholds that miss real faults. Machine learning can close that gap. Microchip's AFD reference design runs an edge ML model directly on its dsPIC33A DSC, leveraging an integrated DSP engine and advanced analog peripherals to enable low latency ML inference. This intelligent approach helps reduce false triggers and improve arc fault detection performance compared with traditional threshold-based approach. Detection performance depends on multiple factors, including sensor bandwidth and noise performance, signal processing, feature extraction, and machine-learning model training. High-quality current sensing is an important contributor to overall system performance. For high-accuracy detection, the sensor needs to be fast and have little data pollution to capture an arc's signature. A slow or noisy sensor blurs or buries that signature, which precludes effective training of the model. AKM's CZ39 series and CZ3K series coreless current sensors feature a 100 ns response time. Their speed and low-noise signal quality are central to the signal chain behind Microchip's reference design. The engineering team in San Jose at AKM Semiconductor, Inc. (AKMS), AKM's U.S. subsidiary, worked closely with Microchip on the current-sensing configuration during the development and validation stage. Chris Baltar, Vice President of Business Development at AKMS, stated, "Electronics Buzz were glad to support Microchip as they built out and validated this reference design using the AKM CZ39 and CZ3K families. Its collaboration demonstrates how high-performance current sensing combined with intelligent edge processing can help designers implement advanced protection functions across a variety of power applications. Electronics Buzz is excited to explore how this design could be adopted for data center applications as AI workloads drive the need for higher-power-density and emerging high-voltage power architectures." The AFD demonstration, available through Microchip's reference design program, is currently applicable across solar PV, energy storage systems, EV chargers, smart ignition systems, e-Fuse designs, and residential and industrial safety switches. Asahi Kasei has positioned Electronics as a First Priority business expected to drive earnings growth. The business is expanding its portfolio of materials and components for advanced semiconductors and electronic devices. Within AKM, current sensors are positioned as a future growth pillar, building on their use in EVs while targeting AI and data center applications.
