Ultra-low power 100 MHz LPC1700 MCU runs Ethernet, CAN and USB=20
simultaneously without bottlenecks
NXP today announced the LPC1700 series, the industry's fastest=20
microcontroller family based on the ARM=AE Cortex=99-M3 processor.=20=20
Running at speeds up to 100 MHz, the LPC1700 series of=20
microcontrollers operates from 28 =96 64% faster than any competitive=20
Cortex-M3 microcontroller available on the market today. This best-
in-class performance allows the LPC1700 series to operate the high-
bandwidth communications peripherals such as Ethernet, USB On-The-
Go/Host/Device, and CAN simultaneously without bottlenecks.=20
The LPC1700, based on the new Cortex-M3 Revision 2 core, adds=20
tightly integrated power control, including a unique Wake-up=20
Interrupt Controller (WIC) that allows for graceful and efficient=20
entry into and exit from lowest power sleep states.=20=20
Further, the LPC1700 is pin-to-pin compatible with the popular ARM7-
based NXP LPC2300 series. This compatibility allows customers to=20
evaluate both the Cortex-M3 and ARM7-based products in the same=20
socket and to choose the right microcontrollers for their=20
applications.=20
The NXP LPC1700 microcontroller series offers the following features:
=B7 Support for communication peripherals including 10/100=20
Ethernet, USB On-The-Go/Host/Device and two CAN interfaces, all of=20
which can operate simultaneously and without bus contention
=B7 A true 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and 10-bit=20
digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
=B7 Fast-Mode Plus (1 Mb/s) I=B2C bus, in addition to 4 UARTs, 3=20
SPI/SSP buses and an I=B2S bus
=B7 Real-Time Clock operating at less than 1 uA
=B7 A Memory Protection Unit (MPU) allowing memory regions to be=20
defined as read-only and protect them from corruption
=B7 A Quadrature Encoder Interface and Motor Control Pulse Width=20
Modulator (PWM) for flexible, powerful motor control
=B7 Revision 2 Cortex-M3 core with enhanced power down=20
capabilities, including Wake-up Interrupt Controller
=B7 Pin compatibility with the NXP LPC2300 ARM7 microcontrollers=20
series
Development tools support
The NXP LPC1700 will be supported by the same large variety of tool=20
vendors available today for NXP's ARM-based 32-bit MCUs, such as=20
Keil (an ARM company), IAR Systems, Hitex Development Tools,=20
Embedded Artists, and more. Code Red Technologies will offer support=20
for the LPC1700 in their Eclipse-based Red Suite software=20
development platform.
Availability
The NXP LPC1700 will be demonstrated at Embedded Systems Conference=20
Boston (October 26-30, 2008). Engineering samples will be available=20
starting in December 2008. Further information is available at=20
