    "excerpt": "CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the expansion of its 10BASE-T1S portfolio with the introduction of the LAN8679 and LAN8680 10BASE‑T1S PMD transceivers, alongside the LAN8660X/1X/2X family of endpoints with integrated transceivers. Designed to support next-generation zonal architectures, these solutions deliver flexible, space-efficient connectivity that extends Ethernet to the network edge. As automotive, industrial and robotics systems evolve toward fully Ethernet-based networks, designers face increasing demands for simplified architectures, reduced wiring complexity and efficient edge node integration. Microchip’s latest 10BASE‑T1S devices address these challenges and are designed to meet AEC-Q100 and ISO 26262 functional safety standards, building on Microchip’s VelocityDRIVE™ portfolio with additional multidrop connectivity solutions featuring a standardized, streamlined interface. The LAN8679 transceiver provides a standardized Open Alliance 3‑Pin (OA3P) interface in a compact 8‑pin VDFN package, supporting space-constrained edge nodes, while reducing pin count and design complexity. The LAN8680 builds on these capabilities by integrating System Basis Chip (SBC) features, including power management, system wake/sleep control and watchdog supervision. Both devices are engineered to enhance reliability...",
