March 13, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — Microchip Technology has introduced the LX4580, a mixed-signal integrated circuit aimed at actuation control systems used in aerospace and defense equipment.

The device combines sensing, data acquisition and motor control functions in one chip, helping reduce system size, weight and wiring complexity compared with designs that rely on multiple components.

The LX4580 offers 24 channels and comes in a 144-pin LQFP package. It is designed for applications such as more-electric aircraft, guided defense systems, drones and launch platforms.

The chip integrates pressure and temperature sensing, PWM motor drive outputs, current sensing, Hall sensor inputs and dual LVDT or resolver interfaces. It also includes dual high-speed SAR ADCs to support synchronized data collection.

Microchip said the device uses a redundant architecture suited for systems that require high reliability and fault tolerance. By combining functions usually handled by several chips, the LX4580 can help reduce board space and simplify system design.

The company also provides application documents and evaluation resources to help engineers test the device and integrate it with Microchip microcontrollers during early system development.
