Texas Instruments unveils MSPM33C321A mixed-signal Cortex-M33 microcontroller with 256KB SRAM, 1MB flash

Texas Instruments MSPM33C321A is a new Arm Cortex-M33 mixed-signal microcontroller clocked at 160MHz, with up to 1MB of flash with ECC and 256kB SRAM with ECC, and a range of digital and analog peripherals. Those include 9.4MSPS dual SAR ADCs and comparators, QSPI, UART, SPI, I2C, I2S/TDM, & CAN-FD interfaces, and the company also highlights a separate VBAT power domain with RTC, integrated watchdog, and tamper I/O, as well as low power consumption with a 16µA standby current with 64kB SRAM and CPU/register retention. The MSPM33C321A also has a little brother with 512KB flash called the MSPM33C3219. MSPM33C321A specifications: MCU core - 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 CPU @ 160MHz with TrustZone, FPU, and DSP extensions Memory - 256kB of SRAM with ECC Storage Up to 1MB of flash memory with error correction code (ECC); dual-bank with address swap EEPROM operations using 32kB high-endurance data flash Quad SPI (QSPI) for external memory

Texas Instruments to acquire Silicon Labs

Texas Instruments will acquire Silicon Labs for $231.00 per share, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $7.5 billion. The transaction is expected to complete in the first half of 2027, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other conditions. Silicon Labs wireless chips are fairly popular in Smart Home applications with Zigbee, Thread, and Matter connectivity, as well as low-power Bluetooth LE wearables and industrial Sub-GHz or 2.4 GHz IoT applications. I can still remember when Silicon Labs purchased Energy Micro in 2013, taking over the EFM32 Gecko MCU family, and about 13 years later, the company is changing hands again. Texas Instruments explains the rationale behind the solution as follows: The acquisition will create a global leader in embedded wireless connectivity solutions by combining Silicon Labs' strong portfolio and expertise in mixed signal solutions with Texas Instruments' leading analog and embedded processing portfolio and internally owned technology and

We are concluding January / #Jamuary with the 31st track of this playlist. 31 tracks in 31 days, with pretty much the whole month driven by TV episode titles &/or #math subjects of the show Numb3rs (except for Crib, of course). It is thus fitting to do this last track tied to math, & to a classic tool to learn math as a kid, the Speak & Math. Tying back to show, this track is titled "Speak and Numb3rs".
