2024

TI continues the aggressive deployment of its portfolio of Cortex-M0+ MCUs, with a mind-blowing $0.161/1k part, the MSPM0C1103SDSGR. With extended temp range (-40 to 125C), 8kB/1kB of Flash/RAM it is a formidable competitor to ST.
Is a 32-bit MCU for a dime coming to a store near you?
In the mid/high range, NXP also continues to expand its MCX series with the N23x, a secure Cortex-M33 running at 150MHz


Infineon
There were 40 discontinued products at Infineon, mostly in the CY9AF family of former Cypress Cortex-M3 MCUs, we should see more of these being discontinued.
Microchip
Microchip added 122 products this month, with a focus on the PIC16F131xx and also a new family, the PIC18-Q20.
The PIC18-Q20 family supports multiple voltage domains, and is equipped with I3C modules with 1V operation, capacitive touch sensing and an 8-bit signal routing port to interconnect digital peripherals. Available in small 14- and 20- pin packages, the MCUs are well-suited as a I3C-to-I2C communication bridge or a companion MCU for larger IoT systems to perform housekeeping functions for an extensive range of space-sensitive applications and markets including automotive, industrial control, computing, consumer, medical, wearables, touch sensing and memory management applications.
Nordic
No change this month.
Nuvoton
No change this month.
NXP
244 products went NRND, including a number of ARM7-based LPC21/22, the Kinetis (Cortex-M4) MK10/20/30/40/50/60, RIP…
NXP is adding the N23x to its MCX portfolio. The Cortex-M33 MCX N series includes intelligent peripherals and on-chip accelerators providing multitasking capabilities and performance efficiency. These secure MCUs include EdgeLock® Secure Enclave, Core Profile offering a secure-by-design approach, secure boot with an immutable root-of-trust and hardware-accelerated cryptography. The N23x runs up to 150 MHz, with 1MB of Flash, 352 KB ECC RAM and SmartDMA. The MCX N23x is the lower end of the MCX N series.
Renesas
No significant changes.
SiliconLabs
SiLabs continues cleaning up the EFM8 family, retiring 18 more.
ST Microelectronics
No significant changes.
Texas Instruments
TI released 21 parts, mostly in the MSPM0 (Cortex-M0+) family.
Well, they include the new entry level Cortex-M0+-based MSPM0C, smashing the quarter at 1000 part barrier with the MSPM0C1103SDSGR $0.161/1k. The MSPM0C series sports an 24-MHz Cortex-M0+ with 8 or 16 kB of flash and 1 kB SRAM. 8 parts were released, all with an extended temperature range of -40 to 125C.
