NXP makes public the LPC1100 Cortex-M0 MCU family
The NXP has announced its latest line up of ARM Cortex-MO based LPC1100 microcontrollers. The NXP asserts that this new microcontroller is the cheapest resolution for a 32-bit MCU. The MCI guarantees 45 DMIPS of performance compared to the sub-DMIP performance of usual 8-bit MCUs and 3-5 DMIPS for 16-bit MCUs.
The NXP MCU requires 40 to 50% less code for most widespread microcontroller tasks. The device utilizes less energy giving a performance at 50 MHz and the MCU needs 10mA of power to operate. The LPC1100 will target battery applications, e-metering, consumer peripherals, remote sensors, and virtually all 16-bit applications. It features the processor with 32 vectored inputs, four priority levels, dedicated interrupts on up to 13 GPIOs, multiple UARTS and one or two SPI serial interfaces; a 12-MHz internal RC oscillator, 10 to 50-MHz phase-locked loop; 8-channel 10-bit ADC and the device operate from a single 1.8 to 3.6-volt power supply.
The LPC1100 family is supported by advance tools from IAR, Keil, Hitex, Code Red and others. NXP said it would provide a development tool platform for under $30. The chips will sell for as little as $0.65 each for 10,000.
