Microchip ARM, PIC and AVR Microcontrollers

Microchip acquired Atmel in 2016 for $3.56 Billion, this among other acquisitions by Microchip, grows their Microcontroller portfolio to include Atmel's ARM based SAM Microcontrollers (which I have previously filmed here: SAM S70 and E70 ARM Cortex-M7: • Atmel | SMART SAM S70 ... SAM L21 ARM Cortex-M0+: • World's lowest power: ... Atmel BTLC1000 Bluetooth ARM Cortex-M0: • Lowest Power Bluetooth... SMART SAM W25 Wi-Fi for IoT with ARM Cortex-M0+: • Lowest Power WiFi in t... , together with Microchip's own ARM cores, and their MIPS-based PIC-32 cores, a few older PIC cores, Atmel's 8 and 32-bit AVR cores among other. Microchip Technology also provides Serial EEPROM devices, Serial SRAM devices, KEELOQ devices, radio frequency (RF) devices, thermal, power and battery management analog devices, as well as linear, interface and mixed signal devices. Some of the interface devices include USB, ZigBee/MiWi, Controller Area Network, LoRa, SIGFOX and Ethernet.

Fascinating having been a Microchip and Atmel FAE in my past, to see so many more products under one roof now, awesome...

Thanks for making and sharing ... stay blessed!

"Watch as *our test* shows that you cannot inject code into the kernel." 😂 Every lock has a key. You built a lock? No, you also built a key.

some years ago i went stm32 and never looked back, hope microchip innovates more in the arm arena.

Where can I get such a nice shirt with Microchip logo? 🤔

AVR32 has no future. AVR mega series doesn't seem to have one too. AVR xmega series is no longer moving forward, Microchip focused on tinyAVR with xmega enhancements (better ADC, DAC, event system, new registers for GPIO config etc.) Basically tinyAVR 1-series are xmega with cut-down features. And it's position is between PIC16 and PIC24 probably. Core is way faster per MHz and has really decent peripherals so clearly can hit a niche in market. Other than that... I see only SAM (ARM) chips which usually are more expensive than counterparts (STM32 as main competition) but are nice to ppl experienced with AVR and Atmel Studio.
