The Piccolo F2805x series was originally announced in early 2013. We are announcing support for InstaSPIN-FOC (54F, 52F) and InstaSPIN-MOTION (54M, 52M) enabled versions, available NOW in full production. The F2805x versions fit nicely between the lowest cost / smallest package F2802x and the highest performance F2806x series. The F2805x is 100% compatible with existing Piccolo devices and adds the new features of on-chip programmable and fixed gain amplifiers as a front end to the A/D converters.
