The lowest frequency Cortex-M
06
Dec
2017
It was great seeing some cleanup at NXP to make room for innovative products like a very low frequency (for a 32-bit architecture) Cortex-M NFC LPC8N04FHI24. SiLabs beefed up their propietary protocol EFR32FG family with a mid-range product, the FG14. Renesas continues to invest into the RXv2 core with 2 new families focused on applications requiring secure elements, the RX65N and RX651.
Atmel/Microchip
Looks like we have a new load of 100 parts for SAM4E16, 4S16, 4S2/4/8, 4SA16, 4SD16/32 (Cortex-M based) products. Most of these are MRL B (revision B of the silicon) with new combinations of packages including MN, UU, CN, CF and AN. There was also the creation of the ATSAME51J20 doubling the Flash size to 1MB of its smaller cousin, the ATSAM351J19 as well as the V70N, adding 100-pin packages to the V70.

NXP
Only a few parts were added this month at NXP including an interesting Cortex-M part with NFC, the LPC8N04FHI24. With 8MHz it is one of the lowest frequency part of the Cortex-M market. The second lower frequency we have seen is the MKE, also from NXP, running at 20 MHz.
There was also a nice cleanup of older generations of Kinetis MK products, most of them NRND or defintely gone. We captured 84 of them, from MK10 to MK20/30/40/51/53/60 100MHz to MK21 and MK22 120MHz. The MK11/21 50MHz got a new silicon revision.

Renesas
Renesas uncovered 130 new products in the RX family, the R5F5651C/E, R5F565NC/E.
The RX65N and RX651 Groups are new mainstream RX microcontrollers with a 120MHz-RXv2 core, large-capacity RAM, and enhanced security, connectivity, and HMI.
The RX65N/RX651 can be divided into 1MB or less and 1.5MB or more flash. The former has 256kB RAM with Ethernet, USB, CAN, SD host/slave interface, and quad SPI while the latter has even more enhanced encryption functionality with 640kB RAM, LCD controller and 2D graphics engine.

SiliconLabs
SiLabsremoved a couple of products, the EFM32GG11B820F2048GL192 and EFM32GG11B820F2048GQ100 while they (corrected following an indexing error. Both GG11 products are alive and well) introduced the new EFR32FG14, with 12 parts at 40MHz and 128/256kB Flash. It serves the proprietary protocol market in the 2.4GHz (FG14P232), sub-GHz (FG14P231) or both (FG14P233).
