My boss just came in my cube in a panic asked "What have you heard about Microchip and On Semi. buying Atmel? Is this going to be a problem for us?"
He is worried that Microchip will kill the AVR, that we use by the tens of thousands per year. http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=210605267 Microchip has already said: "Microchip said it intends to dispose of Atmel's ASIC business after completing the acquisition." What else will they dispose of? "Microchip (Chandler, Ariz.) says ON Semiconductor (Phoenix) would acquire the assets related to Atmel's nonvolatile memory and RF and automotive businesses immediately prior to the closing of a merger. " Do the Dataflash (vs EEPROM division) parts go to Microchip or On Semi? _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
