Even if the summer months are traditionally quieter, there were a few releases last month with TI adding more low cost Cortex-M0+ MCUs, both for the automotive and non-automotive markets. Nuvoton disclosed Cortex-M7 parts even though the KM1M7 family had been there in a while. Finally, NXP added parts to its multi-Cortex-M33 family, in support of applications using machine learning.


Infineon
No significant changes this month.
Microchip
Microchip added less than 20 products this month, mostly variants of existing products in the PIC16F131x family.
Nordic
No change this month.
Nuvoton
Nuvoton added the first links to its not-so-new-anymore Cortex-M7 parts. Recall the KM1M7C series sports a 160MHz Cortex-M7 with a high-resolution PWM, a high-speed, high-precision AD converter, and a feedback control assist function. The family is focused on power control.
NXP
NXP is adding a few parts in the new MXC N94x/54x multi-core family.
If you recall, the MCX N94x and N54x are based on dual Cortex-M33 cores running up to 150 MHz, with 2MB of Flash with optional full ECC RAM, a DSP co-processor and an integrated eIQ Neutron NPU. The NPU delivers up to 42x faster machine learning throughput compared to a CPU core alone.
The MCX N94x offers a wider set of analog and motor control peripherals, while the MCX N54x family provides peripherals ranging from high-speed USB with a PHY to secure digital (SD) and smart card interfaces.
Renesas
No significant changes.
SiliconLabs
No significant changes.
ST Microelectronics
ST added a few parts this month, all variants of existing parts.
Texas Instruments
TI released 37 parts, mostly for the Automotive market with the TMS320F28Pxx, the TMS280015x, and the M0G31/35.
TI added a handful non-automotive low cost Cortex-M0+ parts, the MSPM0G.
