eXtreme Low Power (XLP) Solutions
Microchip’s XLP devices bring together the design and process technologies needed to address today’s
low-power applications. With sleep currents down to 10 nA and industry-leading integration including USB,
touch, crypto and LCD drivers, XLP products can help extend the life of your battery-powered application.

Low-Power Core Independent Peripherals
Smartly interconnected CIPs function with near zero latency. By taking load off the CPU, low-power CIPs
can perform extremely complex tasks, such as cryptography and event monitoring. This allows the CPU to
be in low power mode to save energy or perform additional tasks, therefore eliminating the need to migrate
to complex and expensive MCUs. Significant BOM cost savings can also be realized by replacing external
discrete components with these integrated peripherals.
