NXP LPC2900 ARM Flash Microcontrollers
NXP Semiconductors recently introduced the LPC2900 series of microcontrollers based on the ARM968 core. At 125 MHz, the LPC2900 series are the fastest Flash ARM-based microcontrollers available on the market targeting industrial networking, alarm systems and motor control applications. Building on its existing LPC291x series, NXP offers seven new members with the LPC2900 microcontroller series, adding to the largest ARM Microcontroller portfolio in the market. The NXP LPC2900 series of microcontrollers is available now. Pricing for the LPC292x ranges from $4.99 to $7.99 in 10 Ku volumes.
The LPC2900 features up to 768 KB of on-chip high-speed Flash. The LPC2900 series also includes several new features that are not available on any ARM968 MCU. Features such as USB Host/On-The-Go/Device, 16 KB of true EEPROM, 5V ADC, UARTs with RS485 and LIN support, Quadrature Encoder Interface and Motor Control PWMs give design engineers added performance while minimizing development time and costs.
The LPC2900 series comes with an ARM968E-S industry standard RISC core operating at 125 MHz and provides high performance (1.1MIPS/MHz) with low power consumption. Additional features include full speed USB2.0 Host/On-The-Go/Device, dual CAN interfaces and two LIN masters, 16 KB true EEPROM, standard serial buses, plus a sophisticated PWM and two 3V and one 5V analog to digital converters (ADCs) that make the LPC2900 series ideal for high-performance and communication-heavy applications. The family comes with up to 768 KB embedded flash memory and up to 120 KB SRAM.
