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=210605267Microchip 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?
