 Microchip has acquired embedded c compiler firm HI-TECH Software

Microchip has acquired Australian based HI-TECH Software. HI-TECH Software is a third-party provider of C compilers for Microchip's 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) for over a decade.

"With the addition of the HI-TECH Software portfolio, Microchip now offers a complete suite of highly efficient compilers supporting all Microchip devices, from the smallest 8-bit PIC10 MCU to the largest 32-bit PIC32 MCU," said Derek Carlson, Microchip's vice president of Development Tools. "The HI-TECH acquisition also extends Microchip leadership in compiler technology by providing users with the option to develop their C code using the Mac OS X and Linux operating systems."

"HI-TECH Software's focus on high-performance compilation for Microchip parts is now even sharper," commented Clyde Stubbs, CEO of HI-TECH. "Microchip customers can expect to be offered development tools that are more powerful and easier to use than anything previously available for any microcontroller."

The terms of the deal are confidential, and the deal is expected to be immediately accretive to Microchip's earnings.

Embedded system developers who use Microchip's microcontrollers will benefit from this acquisition with the availability of C compilers fine tuned exclusively for Microchip microcontrollers.
