Microchip announces LX4580 24-channel mixed-signal IC

Microchip (MCHP) Technology announces the LX4580, a 24-channel mixed-signal IC designed to streamline high-reliability actuation control systems for aviation and defense applications. The LX4580 is highly integrated and replaces multiple discrete components with a single device that supports synchronized data acquisition, fault monitoring and motor control-reducing system size, weight and complexity. The LX4580 is offered in a compact 144-pin LQFP package and developed for applications including More Electric Aircraft, guided defense systems, drones and launch platforms. The LX4580 integrates pressure sensing, temperature measurement, PWM motor drive outputs, current sensing, Hall effect sensor inputs, dual LVDT/resolver interfaces and dual high-speed SAR ADCs. This level of integration delivers broad sensor coverage, precise timing alignment and improved reliability compared to multi-device architectures.
