LPC804 in NXP LPC Family
The LPC804 is an entry-level microcontroller family from NXP Semiconductors, built on the ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ processor core. Designed to replace traditional 8-bit MCUs, this family offers 32-bit performance with simplified peripheral sets and low pin counts. It excels in basic control logic, sensor interfacing, and space-constrained applications where cost and power efficiency are paramount. The inclusion of a Programmable Logic Unit (PLU) allows for hardware-level combinatorial logic without CPU intervention.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LPC804 sub-family differ primarily in their physical packaging and pin counts, ranging from small TSSOP20 to larger HVQFN33 footprints. While memory remains standard at 32KB Flash and 4KB SRAM, specific models offer different GPIO counts and analog peripheral availability. Packaging choices are critical for balancing space constraints against the number of accessible I/O pins for complex interfacing.
