Microcontroller specialists Atmel Corp. and Microchip Technology Inc. are joining hands to create a powerhouse in the Internet of Things (IoT) realm in a way that is reminiscent of the hookup between Freescale and NXP just a few months ago. The tie between the MCU kingpins is aimed at creating a full-stack silicon house with all the IoT hardware ingredients ranging from MCUs to analog to flash.
