An (un)eventful January

Feb
2021
It is a if the MCU market took a breather after the events of January, the Texas freeze in the US and the earthquake in the Fukushima prefecture in Japan. That did not prevent Renesas from unveiling the RA2E1 group, an entry line of products based on the Cortex-M23. Microchip portfolio also expanded but without the Cortex-M PIC32CM recent surprise.

Microchip introduced 155 products this month:
- A couple dozens were VAO (Automotive grade) versions of existing part in the ATSAMC20, DSPIC33 and PIC16/18 families
- A little more than 60 were around the PIC16F152xx, mostly expanding flash sizes and offering different packages
- The PIC18-Q41 (PIC18FxxQ41) family got new members. The family sports an on-chip operational amplifier, 12-bit ADC with Computation and two 8-bit DACs for improved data acquisition and sensor interfacing capabilities. Other key features include 16-bit PWMs, Direct Memory Access, Configurable Logic Cells and multiple communication interfaces. The PIC18-Q41 offers 14- and 20-pin products.
- PIC18-Q43 (PIC18FxxQ43) expanded too. These 28-, 40- and 48-pin devices are equipped with a 12-bit ADC with computation, six 16-bit dual PWMs outputs, six Direct Memory Access channels, eight Configurable Logic Cells (CLCs) and five UARTS.
- There were also a couple dozen PIC24FJxxGA70x
