Hello embedded people! We have a new project that may require operation at perhaps 105`C. This is well above what I am used to working with, so I have not paid much attention to "extended" temperature range parts. Now I need to find some! I am looking for suggestions for microcontrollers. Would prefer something modern and C (gcc) friendly, like e.g. the LPC2100 series I was going to use... Any ideas? Thanks, -- John Devereux
Extended temperature range microcontrollers?

What I/O requirements do you have for the project? Andy

On reflection I think I need 115`C or 125`C (if such exist), since there will be a temperature differential between the inside and outside of the product :( Thanks, -- John Devereux

Hi John, the LPC2294 and the LPC2194, which have the same block diagram except the 2294 has an external bus, are both specified for -40/125C without speed penalty, still full 60 MHz from Flash.
