- Microchip Technology (MCHP) announced on Oct 9, 2026 that it has acquired VORAGO Technologies, a privately held provider of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant MCUs and MPUs based in Austin, Texas.
- The acquisition adds a family of rad-hard MCUs and MPUs that complement Microchip's existing aerospace and defense product lines.
- VORAGO's patented HARDSIL process technology reduces design time and cost for new rad-hard products and can enhance radiation tolerance of existing products without a redesign.
- Microchip says the deal adds a team with deep radiation-hardening expertise that can be leveraged across its broader business.
- Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and the acquisition is not expected to be material to Microchip's consolidated financial results.
