We have early access to next-generation IP , so you can be sure you’re always working with the latest technologies, and we pack our devices with features you simply won’t find anywhere else. We use the same building blocks in many of our MCUs, and offer pin- and software-compatible options across product families and across cores. That means you have the freedom to add or subtract features, without having to migrate to a new architecture, and you have a flexible way to support your entire product line — now and in the future. With NXP LPC microcontrollers, it’s easy to scale and reuse your hardware and software designs, whether you’re upgrading or downgrading functionality. Proven leadership NXP’s LPC portfolio has continually set the standard for performance, integration, and price, and has been recognized, time and again, for its groundbreaking levels of connectivity, power consumption, and ease of use. We were first to add independent bus systems and local bus I/O, first with integrated features like Flash/EEPROM memory, real-time debug, and embedded trace, and first to deliver a market-ready Cortex ™-M0 device. Our unique, patent-pending peripherals continue to set us apart, and we’re the only supplier to offer a dual-core M4/M0.
NXP’s LPC Go microcontrollers feature unprecedented performance, simplicity, and low power consumption. These devices, based on 32-bit ARM cores, are the most cost-effective options compared to 8/16-bit solutions and provide a dramatic reduction in code size for every application. They deliver lower system cost and less power consumption, in an elegant, easy-to- use format that improves time-to-market.

We start with optimized versions of the basic ARM architectures. Then we add special functional and peripheral interfaces that simplify design, improve performance, and save power. The result is a set of features that truly sets us apart. This section highlights the LPC features available with our Cortex-M devices. For more specific details on the Cortex-M features, or to see the features available with the LPC devices based on ARM7 and ARM9, please refer to our product datasheets. Unique LPC peripherals For a simpler, faster, more efficient design LPC Go LPC Connect LPC ConnectPlus LPC ConnectTurbo LPC features available for Cortex-M devices SWITCH MATRIX STATE-CONFIGURABLE TIMER (SCT) SPECIAL FUNCTIONS IN ROM USB 2.0 HOST/DEVICE/OTG INTERFACE CAN 2.0B INTERFACE ETHERNET INTERFACE QUAD SPI FLASH INTERFACE (SPIFI) LCD DISPLAY INTERFACE SERIAL GPIO (SGPIO) DUAL-CORE (M4/M0) ARCHITECTURE ROM ROM Switch matrix The flexible switch matrix enables designers to configure on-chip peripherals any way they want. Any peripheral can be assigned to any I/O pin — even on the fly. This creates enormous flexibility in low-pin-count MCUs. What’s more, a GUI-based configuration tool makes it fast and easy to build new layouts or edit existing ones. State-configurable timer (SCT) This patent-pending peripheral, developed by NXP , is a sophisticated yet easy-to-configure timing function that delivers unprecedented flexibility. The SCT lets you configure a range of timing operations — including those required for complex motor-control functions — while meeting tight development schedules.
Putting special functions in ROM helps increase design flexibility, reduce code size, and simplify development. Options include programming algorithms, API-driven power profiles, USB drivers and USB-compliant stacks for HID, MS, CDC, and DFU classes, peripheral APIs for CAN that include extensible code and CANopen drivers, and an optimized divide library that reduces CPU cycles. USB 2.0 Host/Device/OTG interface Nobody gives you more options for fully certified USB functionality. Our USB 2.0 Host/Device/ OTG interface includes DMA support and an on-chip high-speed PHY, and supports all four transfer types (control, interrupt, bulk, isochronous). Many of our USB-equipped devices are shipped with the USB device stack and certain class drivers pre-loaded in ROM. CAN 2.0B interface We were first to introduce a low-cost entry point for a total Controller Area Network (CAN) solution. The CAN and CANopen drivers are embedded in ROM, so there’s more Flash memory for product firmware. The high-performance interface supports bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s and works with multi-drop and serial communications. Ethernet interface This full-featured 10/100 MAC supports TCP/IP hardware checksum verification and uses DMA hardware acceleration to improve throughput. It includes RMII and MII interfaces and an external transceiver, and enables low energy consumption with power management features for remote wake-up frame and magic packet detection. Quad SPI Flash interface (SPIFI) SPIFI is a patent-pending interface that lets you take full advantage of small, inexpensive serial Flash memories, including Quad SPI Flash. It lets external memory appear in the MCU’s memory map, so it can be read like other on-chip memory. That means you can use a standard MCU and cost-effective serial Flash to produce high speeds, save board space, and lower system cost. LCD display interface Our optimized LCD display interface drives a wide range of displays without loading the CPU. It provides all the necessary control signals to interface directly with a variety of color and monochrome LCD panels with up to 1024 x 768 pixels, supports hardware cursor for single- panel displays, and offers programmable timing options for different display panels. Serial GPIO (SGPIO) Combining general-purpose I/O with a timer/shift register, our SGPIO can be used to create or capture multiple real-time serial data streams. There’s no need for code loops that manipulate GPIO in real time, or CPU-intensive “bit banging”. For added convenience, SGPIO can also be configured as extra serial interfaces (UART, I 2S, I2C, etc.). Dual-core (M4/M0) architecture The LPC4300 series is the first to combine a Cortex-M4 with a Cortex-M0. Having two cores on one chip lets you separate the processing and real-time control functions while minimizing PCB space. The M0 core can handle the I/O processing and all the communications functions, including USB and Ethernet, so the M4 core can focus on executing high-performance algorithms.
This ground-breaking development platform, created by NXP exclusively for our LPC Cortex-M microcontrollers, takes you from evaluation all the way through to production for less than 30 US dollars. LPCXpresso users can evaluate, explore, and develop within a single, easy-to-use interface while retaining all the advanced features associated with powerful and expensive tools.

Along with the latest version of the industry-standard Eclipse GNU toolchain, the IDE includes a proprietary, optimized C library, and can be used to build an executable of any size, with full code optimization. LPCXpresso development boards Our LPCXpresso target boards, jointly developed by NXP , Code Red, and Embedded Artists, include an integrated JTAG debugger, so there’s no need for a separate JTAG debug probe. The target portion of the board can connect to expansion boards for access to a number of interfaces and I/O devices. The on-board JTAG debugger provides a high-speed USB-to-JTAG/SWD interface to the IDE, and it can be connected to other debug targets, including a customer target. The LPCXpresso IDE also works with the Red Probe JTAG adapter from Code Red. LPC-Link™ debugger board The JTAG/SWD debugger board, called LPC-Link, is equipped with a 10-pin JTAG header and seamlessly connects to a target via USB. Cutting the traces between the LPC-Link and the target makes the LPC-Link a standalone JTAG debugger, so you can connect the LPCXpresso platform to an external target for use with a wide variety of ARM-based applications. LPCXpresso support If you have questions about using an LPCXpresso board, answers are easy to find. We have a dedicated site for LPCXpresso support (www.nxp.com/lpcxpresso-support), and there are more than 5,000 community members on the LPCXpresso forum (www.nxp.com/lpcxpresso-forum), ready to share their tips and expertise.

For starters, ARM accounts for roughly 90% of all embedded 32-bit RISC processors, so it makes sense to support the architecture designers trust most. Performance and power play a role, too, since processing speed and energy efficiency are so essential to today’s designs. The ARM RISC architecture executes quickly, and requires fewer clock cycles to perform a given task, so the system runs faster. ARM architectures also deliver a higher amount of processing power for a given amount of electricity, so the system delivers higher efficiency and cooler operating temperatures. ARM has developed low-cost cores that compete directly with 8/16-bit options, so designers can upgrade their systems to higher performance and greater functionality, while staying on budget. Also, the very high level of integration possible with every ARM architecture means the design needs fewer external components, and that can save on overall cost. Ecosystem is another reason to choose ARM. There are more than 750 ARM partners, delivering silicon, tools, and software, so designers can select from an incredibly wide range of development tools, and can easily enlist the support of specialized third-party experts. Do all ARM licensees offer the same products? The short answer is no. Every licensee starts with the same basic core structure from ARM, but there’s a certain degree of freedom in how to implement the overall device. Licensees can keep certain features, discard others, or add their own special functions. Those decisions can have a big impact on performance, power consumption, and feature set, so it’s important to look beyond the ARM core and evaluate the specific implementation.
