MADISON, Wis. — Did Microchip Technology get ahead of itself last week by suggesting that its downward revenue forecast was a negative bellwether for the whole semiconductor market? Or is there a macro-economic weakness, foreshadowed by Microchip, that bodes ill for the chip industry?
Some in the industry are now describing signs of decline in the current quarter as "seasonal." Others are calling it "a cycle" but not a correction.
