Yes that is an interesting hop!!
They made noises ~2 years ago about Cortex, but perhaps they decided 8 bit is less crowded, or that effort moved/folded when they sold off some lines. Have some nice small packages : Z51F0410HCX 4KB Flash, 256 bytes RAM, 10 pin SSOP, Lead free Z51F0811RFX 8KB Flash, 512 bytes RAM, 16-pin TSSOP, Lead free and 1.8V–5.5V / 12b ADC / EEPROM / i2c in 10pins, OCD all makes up for the rather ordinary core speed. looks like they have an on-chip regulator, which should make the Vcc tolerance excellent. Be interesting to compare these with Holtek, when more info is released. I was wondering what Zilog would do next. That would have taken a brave call, from inside the tent. |
