New coverage: SAM D20 and SiliconLabs SiM3

2013
Welcome to the last update of the year!
With the ramp down of the year and festivities approaching fast,
we are not seeing the heavy announcements from last month but more tweaks to existing portfolios.
Atmel
We are adding the SAM D20 to our portfolio this month with 60 products. The Cortex M0+-based SAM D20 is a low end 16-256kB Flash MCU designed for industrial and consumer applications. The D20 starts at $1.02 for 1ku of the 16KB Flash 32 pin package.
Freescale
A few new products in the K20- USB MCUfamily (USB, 50MHz) went public this month:
- PK21DN512VMB5
- PK21DX256VMB5
- PK22DN512VLH5
- PK22DN512VLK5
- PK22DN512VMB5
- PK22DX256VLF5
- PK22DX256VLH5
- PK22DX256VLK5
- PK22DX256VMB5
NXP
NXP sparingly expanded its portfolio this month in the LPC11E and U familes (Cortex-M0 50MHz)
NXP touts the software-driven I/O Handler as well as “Software libraries available for the I/O Handler include I2S, I2C, UART, CRC, threshold ADC conversion, and DMA functionality.”
- LPC11E37HFBD64/401
- LPC11U14FHN33F
- LPC11U24UK
- LPC11U37HFBD64/401
- LPC11U67JBD48
- LPC11U68JBD100
- LPC11U68JBD64
Renesas
After a fury of activities last month, Renesas EEG is virtually flat with no product or price change sighted.
SiliconLabs
It will be interesting to see how both the SiM3 and the recently acquired EFM32 will evolve, knowing there is some good level of overlap.
ST Microelectronics
ST introduced 5 new products this month, all higher temp (-40 +105C) versions of existing products:
- STM32F051C6T7
- STM32F205VET7
- STM32F302RBT7
- STM32F303RBT7
- STM32F407IGT7
At the same time, 12 products were removed, all with the A suffix (non-optimized die) signifying the end of the first batches of these products. The products affected were in the STM32L151 and 152 families.
Texas Instruments
9 new products emerged this month in the Tiva camp with one in the C129 family (Ethernet PHY), the XM4C129ENCPDTI2.
On the MSP430 side, 4 products emerged: MSP430TCH5EPW, MSP430TCH5EPWR, MSP430TCH5ERHBR and MSP430TCH5ERHBT.

Atmel
Atmel continues its new product introductions at a faster pace this month with no less than 65 new products:
- ATSAM3N Entry level Cortex M3 : 1
- ATSAM4E M4, 120 MHZ, USB, Eth : 12
- ATSAM4L M4, 48 MHz, 512 kB Flash : 2
- ATSAM4S M4, 120 MHz, includes 2 MB Flash devices: 50
Freescale
There was quite a bit of shuffling this month with 63 products appearing and 68 left out compared to last month.
The prototype parts are slowly being phased out while newer parts move in.
Added:
- MK10 baseline : 2
- MK20 USB : 21
- MK30 LCD : 1
- MK50 Measure : 2
- MK60 Ethernet : 1
- MKE2 Industrial: 5
- MKL0: 1
- MKL1: 14
- MKL2: 15
- MKL3: 1
Removed:
- MK10 baseline : 24
- MK50 Measure : 15
- PK prototype : 29
NXP
Apart from a few products getting into production (low end LPC811/2 and LPC408x/407x), the LPC portfolio is stable this month.
Renesas
No product portfolio changes since last month.
ST Microelectronics
16 products were introduced, across the board, while 3 were removed: STM32F401CBY6,STM32F429ZGY6,STM32F439ZGY6.
It looks like ST continues the realignment of its price book. Some surprises include price increases (+83% for STM32L100RCT6) but also a few steep decreases e.g. -31% on STM32F100R8T6BTR. Please contact us for more information.
Texas Instruments
No major spec changes in the Tiva portfolio this month.
