NXP Introduces Breakthrough Innovations in Industry-leading, LPC Microcontroller Family for Low-power, Entry-level IoT Applic...
21 June 2017 - 11:00PM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI), the leader in mass market
microcontrollers (MCU), today introduced the LPC84x family, the
latest addition to its rapidly expanding LPC800 series of 32-bit
ARM® 30 MHz Cortex®-M0+ based microcontrollers. The family,
designed to balance power, performance and price, addresses the
growing demand to simplify and speed development — enabling smarter
next-generation designs to be cost- and power-efficient.
“We’re extremely excited to be ramping the LPC84x family into
production together with our broad base of customers,” said Geoff
Lees, senior vice president and general manager of the
microcontroller business at NXP. “This new family further extends
LPC800’s unique innovative features over aging, proprietary 8-bit
MCUs.”
Advancing its power-efficient integration and providing
increased flexibility to developers, the LPC84x family builds on
its innovation with a unique way to configure the device without
CPU intervention. Upon power-up, its fast access initialization
memory (FAIM) allows the clocks of the LPC84x microcontroller to be
started in a low frequency mode, keeping startup current
consumption to a minimum. Additionally, its input/output (IO) ports
can come up immediately and in its desired configuration,
eliminating any potential termination issues with attached devices,
such as MOSFETs.
Within the LPC84x family, the LPC845 offers an additional
flexible capacitive touch-sensing solution, which can operate in
sleep and deep sleep modes, allowing for very low power
performance. The LPC845 solution has been designed to handle up to
nine capacitive buttons in different sensor configurations — such
as a slider, rotary or a button matrix — along with supporting
software libraries and tools to support additional features,
including auto-calibration for best performance in noisy or wet
environments, reducing false triggering. Evaluation kits and
software packages available starting in Q3 2017.
Building on NXP’s global success of the LPC800 series, and
keeping consistent with its proven, industry-leading innovations,
the LPC84x family includes its powerful 32-bit State-Configurable
Timer with PWM, advanced DMA, autonomous serial interfaces and
patented IO switch matrix, where any peripheral function can be
assigned to any of the 56 GPIO, enabling low-cost PCBs.
NXP’s new LPC84x MCU family offers developers a path to 64 KB of
integrated flash memory and 16 KB SRAM, with a 12-bit ADC, dual
10-bit DAC, and a selectable output free-running oscillator (FRO) —
further expanding the LPC800 series of feature-rich, entry-level
MCUs at aggressive 8-bit pricing. Customers benefit from the
family’s greater levels of integration for monitoring, data
collection, sensing, real-time control and graphic interface
capabilities, enabling basic control and connectivity tasks across
a broad range of consumer, industrial and emerging IoT
applications.
Pricing and AvailabilityAvailable in a scalable
family of packages, including LQFP64, LQFP48, HVQFN48 and HVQFN33,
the LPC84x MCU family of devices, along with supporting peripheral
drivers, example software and tools, including the
LPCXpresso845-MAX development board (OM13097), are available
beginning June 20, 2017.

nxp.com/LPC84x for additional information of the LPC84x MCU
family.
LPC Microcontrollers DemonstrationNXP will
share its latest features and developments for the LPC portfolio at
NXP FTF Connects in San Jose, California, this week. The LPC84x MCU
family as well as the broadened LPC546xx MCU family will be
showcased in the technology lab. In addition, the company will host
technical sessions to help the developer community learn more.
