35+ years of MCU innovation

NXP entered the microcontroller business over 35 years ago when, as Signetics, we rolled out our first 8-bit MCUs. Since then, as Philips Semiconductors and now as NXP, we have continued to drive industry firsts with a 32-bit ARM-based MCU portfolio:

4 One of the first Cortex-M0 core licensees

4 Fastest Cortex-M3 in the industry (180 MHz)

4 First Cortex-M4 over 200 MHz4 First dual-core Cortex-M

MCUs4 First to offer a seamless

high-speed SPI interface for virtually all SPI and QSPI Flash

4 An exceptionally wide selection of packages, including the world’s first 32-bit MCU in a WLCSP package (2x2 mm) and the world’s first low-pincount Cortex-M0 series in SO and TSSOP packages

NXP — a different kind of partner

NXP offers the experience and expertise that comes from building one of the broadest semiconductor portfolios in the industry. Every solution we deliver draws on a deep knowledge of the latest embedded technologies: wired and wireless connectivity, communications, identification, sensors and sensor processing, USB, human-machine interface (HMI), display, logic, analog, interfaces, power management, security — the list goes on.

Every LPC microcontroller benefits from NXP’s ongoing passion for innovation:

4Unique architectural enhancements drive new levels of power efficiency and performance

4Patented IP lets designers address unique application challenges

4Complete application solutions make the designer’s job easier, faster, and sometimes even more fun

4A robust developers’ ecosystem and thriving support community simplify embedded development from start to finish, fostering design reuse and portability at every step

And, for over ten years, we’ve been collaborating with ARM, to shape our industry and to realize the full potential of each microcontroller core. As one of their earliest licensees, we have an established track record of helping ARM succeed, and we’re proud to have shared in many of their firsts.

With decades of design experience, expertise in many fields, and proven innovation, NXP brings more to the table, at no extra cost. And that makes all the difference.

Low-power 30 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core delivers deterministic, real-time performance.

Power profiles give developers fine-grained, real-time control over power consumption. Together with four low power modes, they help reduce power consumption to 85 µA/MHz in active mode.

A Flash sector size of 64 Bytes simplifies code management by enabling Flash to be programmed in a smaller page size and used like an EEPROM.

Putting drivers and special functions in ROM makes LPC800 Series MCUs exceptionally easy to use and leaves more Flash for application code.

The patent-pending SCTimer/PWM implements virtually any timing or PWM function found on popular 8-bit MCUs without loading the CPU. A simple, GUI-based configuration tool makes it easy to use.

Analog options include a 12 ch/12-bit, 1.2 Msps ADC and an integrated comparator to reduce BOM and footprint and support analog sensor interface.

Offering design flexibility that is unprecedented in low-pincount MCUs, the switch matrix makes it easy to assign any peripheral to any I/O pin, so it’s fast and easy to build new layouts or edit existing ones.
