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.

Atmel
After the slew of new products (including the 2MB flash M4 , here) introduced last month, the product introduction cycle has cooled off.

Freescale
New products continue to be introduced (e.g. MK10DNxxx, MK20DNxxx, MK40DN/DXxxx, MK51DXxxx, MK60DNxxx) while the prototype ones are being retired (e.g. PK51xxx).

NXP
A number of updated specifications have shown up with small changes along the line.
The LPC4333 and LPC4337 specs are now available.

Renesas
A number of products appeared mostly from the R5F563 family (>70 products).

ST Microelectronics

The STM32F3 family that was announced last month (see here, from $2.54/128kB Flash to $3.86/256kB flash) now has specifications available.
The STM32F050 seems to have disappeared. The F050 is (was?) as de-featured F051 with 4kB of RAM and no DAC and, in general, fewer peripherals.

Texas Instruments
No major spec changes.
