Future of Hercules MCUs

Dear TI Community,

I have a question on future products within the Hercules MCU family. For instance, does TI plan to release faster speed Hercules MCUs? Maybe based on the new ARM cortex-R5 instead of R4. If so, can I get a rough idea of the speed range ? What is the timeline ?

I am aware that there is plan to develop new MCUs with more peripherals and memory, as described below

http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/spry178/spry178.pdf    (page 2)

However, there is no mention about faster specs Hercules MCUs

I am asking this because we may need more computational power in future products. I want to make sure that Hercules is future proof.

I understand that this could be a sensitive question for TI, but I want to get a feel on TI's future plans as the future of our product will depend on it.

Many Thanks !

Christopher

    Hello Christopher,

    You can expect that TI's roadmap for Hercules products includes expansion on the higher performance vector.  As this is not public information, you are correct that it is a sensitive question.  My suggestion would be to get in touch with your local TI sales office and request a Non-disclosure Agreement between TI and your company.  Under that protection we can more freely share sensitive information with each other. 

    If requesting an NDA becomes problematic, feel free to re-post to this thread and we will try to help you.
