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

Philips also lack the on chip debug, but they have lower speed/lower Analog performance, and thus also lower prices. -jg

Haven't found anything else that will cut it. Unfortunately, the analog performance comes with a hefty power hit... Bob

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.
