Low cost 32-bit microcontroller family
PHILIPS Electronics has unveiled two new members of its high performance, low cost 32-bit ARM-based microcontroller (MCU) family.
The LPC21xx family uses a 0.18-micron CMOS embedded Flash process enabling ultra-low 1.8V voltage operation, operates at 60MHz (54 Dhrystone MIPs) and offers the industry's highest performance embedded Flash memory in 128-bit wide zero wait-state Flash.
Providing customers with a low-cost migration path from 8 and 16-bit to 32-bit MCUs, the new LPC2114 and LPC2124 32-bit MCUs are suitable for a wide range of applications including motor control, servo loop control, power management and data acquisition.
Key features of the devices include up to 256kB of embedded Flash memory, 10-bit A/D converters, 16kB of SRAM, pulse width modulation (PWM), timers, UARTS, serial peripheral interface (SPI) and up to 46 general-purpose input/outputs in a small outline 64-pin package.
With a host of new features and functionality, the new devices enable designers of embedded real-time control applications to realise cost savings without sacrificing performance.
The LPC21xx family is supported by efficient tools and development support environments provided by a range of traditionally 8-bit and 32-bit tool partners.
This range offers the market comprehensive support to enable rapid, low cost, low risk development.
The LPC2114 and LPC2124 are available now in the LQFP64 package. The HVQFN64 in 9mm x 9mm packaging will be available at the end of 2003.
