NXP Semiconductors announces the fastest ARM Flash MCU series=20
NXP brings 125 MHz ARM968 Flash microcontroller to market
Today NXP Semiconductors announced the availability of the new=20
LPC2900 series of microcontrollers based on the ARM968 core. At 125=20
MHz, the LPC2900 series are the fastest Flash ARM-based=20
microcontrollers available on the market. Building on its existing=20
LPC291x series, NXP offers seven new members with the LPC2900=20
microcontroller series, adding to the largest ARM Microcontroller=20
portfolio in the market.=20
As well as offering customers unrivaled operating speeds and up to=20
768 KB of on-chip high-speed Flash, the LPC2900 series also includes=20
several new features that are not available on any ARM968 MCU.=20=20
Features such as USB Host/On-The-Go/Device, 16 KB of true EEPROM, 5V=20
ADC, UARTs with RS485 and LIN support, Quadrature Encoder Interface=20
and Motor Control PWMs give design engineers added performance while=20
minimizing development time and costs.=20
The LPC2900 series comes with an ARM968E-S industry standard RISC=20
core operating at 125 MHz and provides high performance=20
(1.1MIPS/MHz) with low power consumption. Additional features=20
include full speed USB2.0 Host/On-The-Go/Device, dual CAN interfaces=20
and two LIN masters, 16 KB true EEPROM, standard serial buses, plus=20
a sophisticated PWM and two 3V and one 5V analog to digital=20
converters (ADCs) that make the LPC2900 series ideal for high-
performance and communication-heavy applications. The family comes=20
with up to 768 KB embedded flash memory and up to 120 KB SRAM.
