Nuvoton going direct after TI and Microchip
30
Nov
2016
As the semiconductor concentrates, we are experiencing another trend. Have you seen efforts by TI and now Nuvoton to provide full shopping cart experiences? This is no news to veterans like Microchip, but as more users get an Amazon-like experience from their semiconductor suppliers, what will become of our current “household” distributor names: Digikey, Mouser, Arrow, Avnet and all the others? Food for thoughts as we get closer to 2017, a likely disruptive year.
Atmel
Atmel added a few Tiny(ies) to its AVR army. The 20MHz 4kB Flash ATTiny417 comes in 2 packages while the 814/6/7 add 4kB Flash and touch logic with respectively 14/20/24 pins.
No change for the Smart ARM family.

Spansion/Cypress
We added the PSoC4 and PSoC5 families to our watch list this month with 276 products. We are still busy working on it but will have more insight next month.

ST Microelectronics
44 new products appeared this month at ST in the F413/423 families. These are 90nm, Cortex-M4 devices with 1 or 1.5MB Flash and up to 320 kB RAM. The 423 is essentially the same as the 413 with hardware cryptographic functions.
