The ATMega 4809. Hardware multiplier, 16 channel 10 bit ADC, 5 16 bit timers, 2 interrupt priority levels, atomic set/clear GPIOs, hardware SPI/i2c, 6k SRAM and 48k Flash, and set of on-chip PLC gates.
It will probably come in at about $1 in quantities of hundreds
I'm too old to take advantage. Looks good.
Five long timers, alright, finally!
$1 would be a good deal. However, I wouldn't trust the POR and the
100V/msec requirement for the power-on slope is something I don't like. They could have done better on Vref accuracy. I think Atmel should hire some analog guys :-)
They used to, many years ago. I used to go to COS on a monthly basis to do a variety of analog stuff... mostly unrelated to uP's... WiFi, etc. ...Jim Thompson
Probably??? Where do you get your crystal ball polished? How many I/Os? I've been told the price of such chips come down to number of I/Os and the tester time. Much of the end cost is amortization of the tester.

$1.25 in quantities of 100+, according to the Microchip site. They go down to $1.15 in quantities of 1000+.
~50 cents in quantity is bare-bones ATTiny territory, and for $2 you can do better going some fashion of 32 bit ARM0.
Doesn't exactly take a clairvoyant to divine the approximate price point they're shooting for
Thanks, I missed that. I thought they only gave reel prices, brain cramp. Still, "probably" is not a way to quote pricing.
I'm not sure what the CCL is for really. It is just so small the utility is *very* limited. Much better would have been something with maybe ten times the capacity. I expect they have their intended use cases.
