Christmas gifts from ST

Nov
2018
ST delivered on its promise to spoil us before Christmas and boy they did. A new STM32L5 series brings us highly secure Cortex-M33 devices while less than $0.5 will buy you a low power STM32L0x0. The MCU kids will be happy.
Atmel/Microchip
A handful of Cortex-M products got their AEQ-Q100 certification grade 2 (-40 to 105C), the famous VAO suffix. An additional 70 Cortex-M parts with +125C max temperature are now part of the portfolio.

ST Microelectronics
ST had a firework of announcements over the past weeks with two new major families:
The STM32F0x0, expanding the portfolio to the lower end of the spectrum
The STM32L55 bringing an extra layer of security with ARM TrustZone and a number of security features.
Here are the details:

The STM32L55 bringing an extra layer of security with ARM TrustZone and a number of security features.
Here are the details:
- STM32L0x0 Value Line
low cost/low power 32MHz Cortex-M0+, from 16/2 to 128/20kB of Flash/RAM and 128/256 or 512-Byte EEPROM. The Value Line integrates a low poer UART, timer, 41µA 10ksample/s ADC and a 670nA power-down current with RTC and RAM retention. It starts at $0.44/10ku and $0.32/high-volume orders.
- STM32L5 series
The new STM32L5 series is based on a 110MHz Cortex-M33 core with security features including ARM TrustZone, flexible software isolation, secure boot, key storage, special read-out and write protection for integrated SRAM and Flash, hardware cryptographic accelerators with AES 128/256-bit key hardware acceleration, private key acceleration (PKA), and AES-128 On-The-Fly Decryption (OTFDEC) to protect external code or data. Active tamper detection and support for secure firmware install are also included
The STM32L5 consumes 33nA in shutdown mode and reaches one of the best ULPMark-CP in the EEMBC ULPBench,
Peripherals include CAN FD, USB-C, and USB Power Delivery.STM32L5-series microcontrollers are sampling now and scheduled to begin production in Q2 2019 with -40°C+85°C and extended -40°C+125°C temperature ranges. No price was given.
Texas Instruments
TI beefed up their wireless portfolio in the simple link family, with with a handful of Cortex-M4 sub-GHz CC1312F3 and CC1352 (adds 2.4GHz support).

Incremental fall with a twist

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 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.

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.

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?
