Find help, specifications and source code for the LPC900. The LPC900 challenges Microchip and AVR based on the worlds most popular 8-bit architecture the 80C51. With a 2-clock core the LPC900 series is a high performance, very flexible and low cost 8-bit microcontroller family. Designers using or interested in these devices are encouraged to share their know-how and ask questions.
New member of the LPC900 family LPC9102 / 9103 - philips_apps - Jan 17 19:42:00 2005
Hi,
have you seen the press release today about the newest and smallest
members of the LPC900 family.
A slightly revised text of the press release:
Tiny new devices in 3 x 3 x 0.85mm package offer double the
functionality of competing solutions (PIC10)
Philips today introduced two new members of the LPC900 8-bit
microcontroller family. These new devices are tiny. The new devices
are available in a 10-pin HVSON package, with dimensions of 3.0 x 3.0
x 0.85mm3. The LPC9102 and the LPC9103 are designed with
space-constrained applications in mind, incorporating many
system-level functions on-chip, such as a high-accuracy internal RC
oscillator, brown-out detect, power-on reset and peripherals such as
8-bit ADC, comparator and UART, reducing the total component count in
the system.
The combination of price, performance and functionality make the new
LPC910x devices ideal for applications ranging from white goods to
environmental or security sensors and toys, as well as for industrial
or medical instrument probes where space is extremely limited. The
highly-integrated devices feature byte-erasable flash which can
eliminate the need for a separate EEPROM. Having an accurate internal
RC oscillator (7.373MHz, 1 percent accuracy, clock can be doubled to
14.746 MHz) and an integrated UART enables an elegant RS-232
implementation. With eight I/O pins of the 10 pins on the package, the
LPC9102 and LPC9103 double the functionality and I/O pins of those
MCUs of similar physical size (e.g. PIC10).
---snip----
A high-performance 80C51 CPU can execute instructions as fast as 136
ns from interbnal oscillator or 111ns with external clock provided.
The new LPC910x products offer many on-chip functions typically found
in devices more than twice their size.
Key features of the LPC910x family
-- 1KB byte-erasable flash code memory for easy firmware modification
-- 4 channel 8-bit ADC with window comparator to sample signals
without generating unnecessary interrupts, offloading work from the
CPU; 8-bit ADC can also be configured as a DAC
-- 20mA LED sink capability
-- 128 bytes of RAM - two times more than many competing solutions
-- Two counter timers and a real time clock
***** important features added ******
-- typical power down current less than 100 nA
There is a device with a superset functionality available the LPC9107
in a TSSOP14 package.
Have fun!

And just how much do these chips cost?

Hi Ian,
don't have a good answer for this one, honestly. Prices are
established mostly through our distributors. If you pay more than $1
at 1000 pieces, switch you distributor ;-)
Although I am with Philips in the applications team, I am not a total
insider in regards to pricing. Sounds lame? Sorry, can't say a lot more.
In the US, we work with Arrow, Avnet and Future Electronics in
alphabetical order to be politically correct.
