You're clearly overlooking the fact that I was replying to mikerj who was putting forward Maxim's 1.6x1.6mm package which is a 16-pin WLP with a 0.35mm pitch.
If you're convinced that those Maxim µC are the perfect fit for your use case, that's fine. But then why would you ask for opinions?
Nope, your, Nandblog, Yansi first posts seams to be expressing general complaints about Maxim towards me to have the "guts" to even bring Maxim product into sight by placing words in my mouth. Im not asking for your "opinions based on complaints" on Maxim as a company, we all know how Maxim are you just dont read my first post properly. Still not want to. Failure is on you , Nandblog, Yansi for using shabby debate tactics.

Uh yeah. They pretty much look like yet another "me too" line of products. Granted they come in small/low pin-count packages, but that's all they have to compete. As others have pointed out, I'd be wary of availability. I wouldn't be too impressed by the dev tools either.
Yes seriously. I guess your response to SiliconWizard was supposed to be sarcastic, but it didn't read like that.
Anyway, thanks to him for pointing out the G55 series, a bit larger than I'd like due to 0.4mm pitch but that is actually an advantage as it's will be mounted on a co-fired ceramic substrate rather than FR4 and 0.35mm seems to be rather difficult.
Space savings on PCB for fine pitch PCB is grossly overrated, a lot of people thinks that just because they do finer and finer pitch the savings/cost will go down when in fact in many cases goes up. take STM32 for example due to hideous pin mux decisions some STM32s is a mess of signals, forces you to use 4-6 layers boards when it could have been solved on 2 layers.
The complaints he has is not directed to you seriously. Thread is about MCU's in small package with a specific ratio if you bother to read my first post. I couldn't care less if it's Maxim och Hong Ching Ping as long it's about a specific ratio.
Nothing stops you, silliconwisard, Yansi, Nandblog, to start a thread debating "your specific" MCU issues and complaints about Maxim whatever.
