# Microchip Technology: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Microchip Technology reports revenue across 2 business segments in its fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. Semiconductor Products is the largest, with $4.5 billion of revenue (97% of the total), followed by Technology Licensing at $164 million (3%).

## How Does Microchip Technology Make Money?

Semiconductor Products supplies 97% of revenue, so Microchip Technology's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2025 and 2026, Technology Licensing grew fastest (+24.9%) and Semiconductor Products slowest (+6.5%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Technology Licensing while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Semiconductor Products | $4.5 billion | $4.3 billion | 96.5% | 6.5% |
| Technology Licensing | $164 million | $131 million | 3.5% | 24.9% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Microchip Technology's reported revenue for fiscal 2026; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Microchip Technology reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed May 21, 2026 (accession 0000827054-26-000016), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2026; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
