LPC802 in NXP LPC Family
The LPC802 series, developed by NXP, is an entry-level family of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ core. Operating at frequencies up to 15 MHz, these MCUs are designed to bridge the gap between 8-bit and 32-bit architectures. They provide a cost-effective solution for simple control tasks, offering significantly improved power efficiency and code density compared to legacy 8-bit devices while maintaining a small physical footprint for space-constrained designs.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LPC802 sub-family differ primarily by package type and pin count, ranging from 16 to 33 pins. Options include TSSOP16, TSSOP20, and HVQFN33. While the flash memory is standardized at 16 KB and SRAM at 2 KB across current members, the specific availability of GPIOs and the physical dimensions of the package are the main selection criteria for engineers.
