Broader data center exposure for the full calendar year reached $591 million. The company is guiding toward approximately $1 billion in total data center revenue by the end of calendar 2026, representing roughly 69% growth from the $591 million baseline. Sanghi pointed to the March 2026 quarter as evidence of sustained acceleration, noting 62. 9% year-over-year growth in that period. For all of calendar 2026, the company is projecting about 65% growth in its data center segment, which would push revenue to around $500 million from the core Data Center Solutions unit alone. The products driving the surgeTwo product categories are doing most of the heavy lifting. Microchip has been shipping PCIe Gen 6 switches and CXL 3. 1 retimers, both of which target the specific bottlenecks that emerge when you try to connect thousands of GPUs and accelerators inside a modern AI data center. By the end of the June quarter, Microchip had secured 12 PCIe Gen 6 connectivity programs, double the number from the previous quarter. Disclosure:This article was edited by Editorial Team.
