Entering the migration and acquisition season
31
Jan
2017
The new year starts with a pretty heavy migration of MCU products from Atmel to Microchip with PICs and AVRs sharing the same domain name. Who would have known?
QCOM on its end made one more step toward the acquisition of NXP when its shareholders granted NXP approval for the QCOM proposal. There are many more steps before the final acquisition planned to take place before the end of this year. Enjoy the ride.
Atmel
We are now seeing the Atmel portfolio on both the Atmel and the Microchip sites. No changes to Atmel portfolio.

Infineon
Infineon spinned rev 2 of the XMC1302T038X0064ABXUMA and XMC4400F100K512ABXQMA.

Microchip
Microchip has started to include the AVR and the rest of the Atmel portfolio as we were indexing the MCHP portfolio. It somehow feels weird to see side by side the ATSAM (Cortex-M) and the PIC32 (MIPS4K). Interestingly enough, the AVR is only mentioned once under 8-bit while drowned by every single PIC flavor. See for yourself here.

NXP
LPC800 and LPC54xx families are now top of the fold on the main page for the LPC group of MCUs. NXP released more information on its LPC54xxx family including 31 new part numbers.
These can be split into 2 times 2 sets.
The first dimension is whether the part has security peripherals (AES256, SHA1/2) – the LPC54S – and the second is the level of performance from low LPC54(S)10x @100MHz with no USB or Ethernet to high LPC54(S)60x @180MHz with USB HS + PHY and Ethernet and CAN/CAN-FD. Both sport a Cortex-M4 with FPU and MPU.

SiliconLabs
Silicon Labs EFM8 had no new product.
Silicon Labs EFM8 had no new product.
We discovered 3 EFM32 parts that were hiding due to errors on the Pearl Gecko main page. The order part numbers are erroneous there for these products: EFM32PG1B100F256IM32-C0,
EFM32PG1B200F256IM32-C0 and EFM32PG1B200F256IM48-C0. These are all 40MHz Cortex-M4 that have a temperature grade of -40 to 125C.
Spansion/Cypress
6 new products appeared this month, 3x S6E1xxx parts – 40MHz Cortex-M0+ with new package combinations and 3x CY8C4 parts – CY8C4145LQI-S423, CY8C4244FNI-443T, CY8C4124FNI-443T.

ST Microelectronics
STM8 saw 5 new parts in the STM8AF52/62 and STM8AL3 families.
ST did a bit of clean up this month and removed about 20 products in the STM32L0x1 family.
These were somewhat offset by 12 new products, mostly in the STM32F families, including 3 Cortex-M7 parts in high temp grade (+105C).

Texas Instruments
The big hitters were in the MSP430FR59 this month with no less than 22 new parts adding more combination of packages, pin counts and FRAM sizes. No change detected for the other families.
