I need to make an order from Newark. I didn't realize their prices were so good on MCU's. I wonder what their shipping is to Canada.
For an alternative, you guys might want to look at the Luminary Micro (now Texas Instruments) stuff.
LM3S1608 50Mhz Cortex-M3 32bit
128k flash - 32k ram
ADC - I2C - SPI - UARTS
$4.65
or
LM3S811 50Mhz Cortex-M3 32bit
64k flash - 8k ram
ADC - I2C - SPI - UARTS
$3.70
For a pure price/performance comparison it's pretty nice.
I've only used the LM3S811 so far and it's very "8bit like", actually a little too 8bit like for my preference.
EDIT: Sorry, no DIP parts, though.
