May pruning
30
May
2024
May was focused on the low end with TI starting to use its cheap low end Cortex-M0+ to serve the automotive market, a very nice idea as this market has traditionally been served with more exotic and expensive architectures. A Welcome change. SiLabs is doing some spring pruning unless we are looking at an unintended website kerfuffle.
Infineon

Microchip
Microchip has 87 new products this month, mostly in the PIC16(L)F15/18 families.

NXP
Only minor changes for NXP this month for the i.MX8.

Renesas
Renesas added 92 variants of existing products in the RA2E1 family, mainly new silicon revisions with #UA0 and #UA1 suffixes. The RL78 saw a nice influx of new silicon revisions.

SiliconLabs
SiLabs is cleaning up the EFM8 family, creating 18 new products in the C8051F5xx family while retiring close to 200. There are 127 left in the 8-bit portfolio.
The EFM32 family went through some pruning too with the Happy Gecko – Cortex-M0+ shedding 28 (8 left), Leopard Gecko – Cortex-M3 shedding 38 with 23 left, and the Wonder Gecko – Cortex-M4 respectively 53 and 7.
Website fluke or cleanup? It would make sense for older Cortex-M3 designs.

ST Microelectronics
ST extended their low end portfolio with a 14-pin variant of the existing STM32L011/21.

Texas Instruments
TI released 26 parts, mostly in the MSPM0 (Cortex-M0+) family. Interestingly, TI is now addressing the automotive market with the low end parts. The MSPM0G series sports an 80-MHz Cortex-M0+ with up to 128 kB of flash and 32 kB SRAM. 5 parts were released and priced between $0.41 and $0.73/1k
