As well as offering customers unrivaled operating speeds and up to 768 KB of on-chip high-speed Flash, the LPC2900 series also includes several new features that are not available on any ARM968 MCU. Features such as USB Host/On-The-Go/Device, 16 KB of true EEPROM, 5V ADC, UARTs with RS485 and LIN support, Quadrature Encoder Interface and Motor Control PWMs give design engineers added performance while minimizing development time and costs.
“The LPC2900 series gives our customers even more performance for their embedded applications,” said Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager, microcontroller product line, NXP Semiconductors. “This new family of microcontrollers uses the same peripherals as the popular LPC2000 ARM7 family from NXP, making it an easy upgrade option for customers looking for additional performance in a low cost embedded system. As always, we are committed to offering our customers the broadest range of choice available in 32-bit MCUs.”
The LPC2900 series comes with an ARM968E-S industry standard RISC core operating at 125 MHz and provides high performance (1.1MIPS/MHz) with low power consumption. Additional features include full speed USB2.0 Host/On-The-Go/Device, dual CAN interfaces and two LIN masters, 16 KB true EEPROM, standard serial buses, plus a sophisticated PWM and two 3V and one 5V analog to digital converters (ADCs) that make the LPC2900 series ideal for high-performance and communication-heavy applications. The family comes with up to 768 KB embedded flash memory and up to 120 KB SRAM.
