Infineon has now fully digested the Cypress.com website and parts. With Dialog acquired by Renesas, these are 2 major acquisitions in the microcontroller space, with respectively 9 and 5 billion Euros changing hands. We are already seeing significant changes to Cypress’ ex-portfolio. There will be further consolidation, who will be next?

Enjoy the holiday season!


Dialog
Dialog got acquired by Renesas in February, no change to the portfolio.
Infineon
No change yet.
Microchip
This month it is the DSPIC33CHxxxMP505/6 who got their PTVAO (Automotive-grade) variant, so did the ATSAMC21J17/19 and ATSAMC21G18.
Nordic
No change.
Nuvoton
No change.
NXP
NXP released the 72MHz version (12 parts) of the KE1xZ128/256 MCUs. They are based on a Cortex-M0+ with 128 or 256 kB of Flash, up to 48 KB RAM, CAN, touch interface with a 1Msps 12-bit ADC. They are ideal for after market auto applications and BLDC motor control systems
Renesas
No change.
SiliconLabs
No change.
Spansion/Cypress NOW! Infineon
The Cypress website is now fully redirecting to Infineon, this is very exciting!
Goodbye Cypress, hello Infineon!
In the process, the following families have been put on the chopping block (called legacy):

  • FM0+
  • FM3
  • FM4
  • PSoC5

Only the PSoC4, PSoC6 and PSoC Analog Coprocessor survived the move.

ST Microelectronics
There were only minor changes to the STM32 portfolio with variants of existing parts.
Texas Instruments
TI only had a few minor variants this month.
