- Vector and Microchip integrate MICROSAR IO with dsPIC33A controllers to simplify small ECU development.
- The joint SDV solution will debut at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg.
The Vector Informatik Microchip SDV control unit solution expands collaboration between Vector Informatik GmbH and Microchip Technology to simplify the development of compact electronic control units used in software-defined vehicles. The joint approach targets sensor and actuator control units, combining embedded software and hardware to reduce integration complexity and shorten engineering cycles.
Pre-Integrated Software and Hardware Stack
The partnership integrates Vector’s MICROSAR IO software platform with Microchip’s dsPIC33A digital signal controller microcontrollers. This pre-integrated configuration allows automotive developers to implement compact ECUs faster while reducing the effort required for software adaptation and system validation.
Standardized Interface for Scalable SDV Development
Vector also provides an open and standardized hardware abstraction interface within the MICROSAR IO architecture. This interface enables software portability across additional Microchip hardware platforms and promotes interoperable development within evolving vehicle electronics ecosystems.
Debut at Embedded World 2026
The Vector Informatik Microchip SDV control unit solution will be presented publicly for the first time at Embedded World in March 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, where both companies will showcase the integrated platform for next-generation automotive electronic control units.
