It gets worse. NXP had a nice 8051 upgrade in their LPC98x/LPC97x, which brought Wide Vcc to fix a blind spot in there LPC9xx family. Instead, they pull the rug, and now pitch a Narrow Vcc part, to replace Wide Vcc sockets ?! Sounds like too many marketing degrees, and not enough designers left at NXP. The 8 bit parts we are looking at, all have ADCs - so NXP remove that too !! We need a small package, and that means small, not DIP8 !! ... and to underline my earlier comments, the Infineon XMC1000 series Whilst NXP market-droids may think Narrow-Vcc is ok to pitch to 8 bit customers, it seems Infineon are much smarter. Their new XMC1000 series says * A broad voltage tolerance, between 1.8V and 5.5V (!) * 12-bit ADC operate up to 1.88Msps * four 16-bit timers in a capture/compare unit 4 (CCU4) (*) * TSOP16 / TSSOP28 / TSSOP38 8k-200kF 16KR { I guess those who love their Multiple-Supplies and level-shifters, can continue using those ;) } (*) The XMC4000 series note on CCU4 Timer blocks says: built-in timer concatenation � 32, 48 or 64 bit width |
