1. This Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the Microchip Technology Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of Microchip Technology Incorporated. Associated with the Common Stock are common stock purchase rights which will not be exercisable or be evidenced separately from the Common Stock prior to the occurrence of certain events. 2. Calculated solely for purposes of this offering under Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis of 85% of the average of the high and low prices reported on the Nasdaq National Market System on November 12, 2001. 3. As permitted pursuant to the amendments to Rule 457 set forth in Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-7943 (effective March 7, 2001), the Registration Fee is payable only on 1,200,000 shares, as up to 100,000 shares have been previously registered on earlier Forms S-8 less than five years old for the Microchip Technology Inc.

Should less than 100,000 shares be rolled over into the Microchip Technology Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Registrant will de-register the difference between 100,000 shares and the number of shares actually rolled over. ================================================================================ PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ITEM 3.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Delaware Law") authorizes a court to award or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provides for mandatory indemnification of its directors and executive officers, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws also provides for permissive indemnification of the Registrant's employees and agents to the extent, and in the manner, permitted by Delaware Law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and selected officers, a form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Registration Statement No. 33-57960. The indemnification agreements provide the Registrant's directors and selected officers with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. II-1 ITEM 7.

UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-2 (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Chandler, State of Arizona, on November 15, 2001.
