 		 #188816 - NXP stated aim, "to make 8-bit architectures obsolete"
Rich Quinnell, Editor in Chief at Microcontroller Central (sponsored by NXP), said:
A new offensive has begun in the struggle between 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs for capturing new design wins. NXP Semiconductors (this site's sponsor) has announced a new family of Cortex M0+ 32-bit MCUs specifically targeting the needs of current 8-bit MCU users. The company's stated aim is to make 8-bit architectures obsolete.

The company sees ease-of-use, architectural longevity, and power efficiency as the key attributes of 8-bit that keep designers loyal and has crafted its new LPC800 line to address those needs. That crafting also targets a price point (starting at $0.39 in 10k volume) rivaling that of 8-bit devices. The company unveiled the product line at Electronica 2012 in Munich, and an overview video is available here.

NXP stated aim, "to make 8-bit architectures obsolete"            01/01/70 00:00      
   Available in DIP!            01/01/70 00:00      
      no continuity            01/01/70 00:00      
         It gets worse.            01/01/70 00:00      
            We need a small package            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not small enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Funny, that!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Nice size, shame about price            01/01/70 00:00      
            Poor NXP, XMC1000 series announced            01/01/70 00:00      
   No 5V option            01/01/70 00:00      
      just curious            01/01/70 00:00      
         Because it is useful.            01/01/70 00:00      
         RE: why the 5V fascination?             01/01/70 00:00      
            well, you will have to redesign anyhow.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Power MOSFET drive and 5V ADC            01/01/70 00:00      
         5V can be surprisingly useful            01/01/70 00:00      
            Most Automotive parts DO use 5V            01/01/70 00:00      
            why?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Close, but no Cigar...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  MOSFET driver            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Silabs 6V ports for Class D audio            01/01/70 00:00      
                     which means they were thinking about logic-level MOSFET driv            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I was looking for something like this            01/01/70 00:00      
                           isn't it a pity ..            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 but that is ~15 bucks :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    for one off            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       four bucks!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Not 8051            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    HUH?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       What??? Which SiLabs clocks at >168E6?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          he means higher than 80Mhz            01/01/70 00:00      
                           just wait            01/01/70 00:00      
                        MOSFET drive            01/01/70 00:00      
               More than 5V tolerant inputs            01/01/70 00:00      
   yeah and your problem is?            01/01/70 00:00      
   You ask me Andy            01/01/70 00:00
