[sdiy] Infineon

[Michael Bachman]

We, Curtis Instruments, have used the Infineon micros for some time
now.  They basically are a spin off of Siemens and thus have quality
parts.
Several of the microprocessor companies "changed names" lately...
Motorola became/launched Freescale..  A joint venture of Hitachi and
Mitsubishi Electric  launched Renesas.   Phillips spun off NXP in
2006.

We are in the process of upgrading our entire product line to leave
Microchip and Infineon and  will be going toward the ARM Cortex parts,
likely from ST, although you can also get them from many others.  I
highly recommend  the Cortex range of parts.
