2018
NXP continues its expansion to the low end with the Cortex-M0+ based LPC80x. Cypress also announced the PSoC4100S, based on the same core, but running at 24/48MHz. There were also a few additions on the wireless side, but mostly new packages of existing parts.

NXP
4 parts were added this month at NXP in the LPC54 family with new packages including TFBGA100, (ET100 suffix) and LQFP100 (BD100 suffix).
At the lower end, NXP just launched the LPC80x with a 15MHz Cortex-M0+ core. LPC80x is Cortex®-M0+ MCU family operating at 15 MHz. It supports 16/32 and 2/4 kB of Flash/RAM. Peripherals include a CRC engine, I2C-bus interfaces, up to two USARTs, one SPI interface, capacitive touch interface (cap touch), one multi-rate timer, self-wake-up timer, one general purpose 32-bit counter/timer, one 12-bit ADC, one 10-bit DAC, one analog comparator, function-configurable I/O ports through a switch matrix, an input pattern match engine, and a programmable logic unit (PLU).
Prices start at $0.60/100u.

Pearls of MCU
We are checking this month on the last pearls of MCU and must apologize to Nuvoton. The winner last month was actually Cypress as you all have see per the screenshot below.
Last time we checked (1/30) the ghost part is still there.
We are checking with ST on their -80C part and we will update you when we have answers.
