Alternative for Silabs (cygnal)

Jan 10, 2005 4 Replies

Hi all,



Is there a good alternative for the cygnal processors?



- In System Programmable



- In Application Programmable



- Small packages (footprints) available (like the MLP11)



- Not to expansive development tools



- Wide range family



- Cheap (cheaper then the silabs)



- Reliable (not the same flash problems as the Silabs)



- It don't have to be 8051 cores.



Regards Gerard

Look at the LPC900 family from Philips, Atmel's AVR, or MSP430 from TI.

I use SiLabs SOC devices because I need the high resolution analog peripherals. Haven't found anything else that will cut it. Unfortunately, the analog performance comes with a hefty power hit...

Look at the ADuC8xx series from Analog Devices. Like all they have their pros and cons. Some have multiple channels of 12/16/24 bit ADC and 12 bit DAC. 8051/8052 cores, 64K Flash, 4K EEPROM, 2K RAM. All the usual peripherals. Cheap eval kits.

Smallest package anyone can get with an AVR is the ATtiny13 in a 4 x 4 mm but this is not ready for production by far.
