2023
This month, SiLabs came up with more solutions for the Amazon Sidewalk (EFR32SG) and Bluetooth (EFR32FG) markets and leveraged its Cortex-M33 architecture to serve the more general purpose arenea with a non-wireless variant (EFM32PG). Microchip added to its portfolio of automotive line while TI continues tirelessly to crawl back into the MCU market with its Cortex-M0+ based MSPM0 line up.
Infineon
No significant change beyond 3 new parts in the CY9BF family (Coxtex-M3).

On the EFM32 front, SiLabs released 4 new products to create the EFM32PG28 family. It is based on an 80 MHz Cortex M33 with LCD controller. It is a sister MCU to the EFR32xG28 wireless SoC platform (ZG28, FG28 and SG28). The PG28 is also the first EFM32 device with a hardware AI/ML accelerator allowing for faster inferencing at the edge with lower power consumption.
And on the wireless side, it released another 23 products across 2 families, the EFR32SG2x and the EFR32FG28.
The EFR32SG23 is a secure wireless SoC for Amazon Sidewalk devices that supports sub-GHz FSK, providing range beyond the front door to cover detached buildings, pools, and spas. The multi-core device has an ARM Cortex-M33 running up to 78 MHz and with 512 kB of Flash and 64 kB of RAM. It targets battery operated end devices like sensors including door, window, and temperature sensors devices.
The big brother EFR32SG28 bumps up the Flash/RAM sizes to 1MB/256kB.
The EFR32FG28 takes the same digital architecture but supports both sub-GHz and 2.4GHz to add Bluetooth.
Overall, 23 products were released.
