Incremental fall with a twist
28
Sep
2018
We are getting more automotive grade parts courtesy Microchip, more flash-less Cortex-M7 goodness at 600MHz with NXP, and more low power/cost Nuvoton’s. How about disruption? ST is making us salivating with not less than a new STM32 family coming just before Christmas…
Atmel/Microchip
The SAMC21, a 48 MHz Cortex-M0+ family got 20 additional products with -40 +125C temperature grade.
The ATSAMDA1G15B got its AEQ-Q100 certification grade 2 (-40 to 105C), and remarkably is the first Microchip Cortex-M product to receive so according to our records.

Microchip
Microchip added more (8) dsPIC33CK to its portfolio of DSCs. These are 100MHz single core MCUs with 32/8 to 256/24kB of Flash/RAM. More VAO (AEC-Q100) parts were added too in the PIC16F families as well as 15 PIC32MM parts. Recall that the PIC32MM family is the lowest cost of the PIC32 group bridging the gap with the PIC24.

Nuvoton added 3 parts in the lower end of the memory spectrum to the existing 72MHz Cortex-M0 based NUC029 family, from 16/2 to 64/4kB of Flash/RAM.

NXP
NXP added the first 4 part numbers to the i.MX RT1060, the higher performance member of its family. The 1060 doubles the RAM to 1MB while keeping pin-to-pin compatibility with the 1050. It adds CAN-FD, and synchronous parallel NAND/NOR/PSRAM controller. The 1060 embeds a 600MHz Cortex-M7. Prices go from $7.69 to $8.43@100u. We just got 10k prices: 1060 starts at $3.48, 1020 at $2.18 rt1015 at $1.48.
Following on last month rumors, NXP did bring more information to its lower performance (still a 500MHz Cortex-M7) iMXRT1015/1020 families but no price points nor part numbers yet.

ST Microelectronics
There were only minor changes in the STM32 family with 21 parts getting a mix of higher temperature grades, different package or silicon revision. And it looks like there is a big STM32 announcement coming early December. Let’s guess: a true flashless Cortex-M7 family? Or an extended Bluetooth portfolio? Or an integrated Wifi/MCU solution?

After a busy summer with near and flashless parts, this month was quiet, but we are hearing new parts in this area coming near you next week, stay tuned!
Atmel/Microchip
There were minor changes to the ATTiny portfolio
On the Cortex-M front, Microchip added a few package variants to the SAMD5/E5.

NXP
NXP added a bigger (12x12mm) MAPBGA196 package to the i.MXRT105x. We are hearing rumors of new lower-price parts being added to the portfolio. Maybe the i.MXRT1015 or the i.MXRT1020? These don’t have LCD or graphics accelerators and run at 500MHz but will surely sell at a lower price. Stay tuned after labor day!
