Royal Philips Electronics (the Netherlands) announced two new members of its high-performance, low-cost, ARM-based microcontroller (MCU) family. The new LPC2114 and LPC2124 32-bit MCUs are suitable for a wide range of applications, including motor control, servo-loop control, power management and data acquisition. Key features of the devices include up to 256K bytes of embedded Flash memory; 10-bit, analog-to-digital converters; 16K of SRAM; pulse-width modulation; timers; UARTS; serial peripheral interface; and up to 46 general-purpose, input/outputs in a small-outline, 64-pin package. The LPC21xx family features make it suitable for real-time applications such as automotive, health care equipment, networking, Internet connectivity and battery-powered consumer products. The latest members of the family - the LPC2114 and LPC2124 - provide a low-cost migration path from 8-bit and 16-bit to 32-bit MCUs. The LPC21xx family uses a 0.18-micron, CMOS embedded, Flash process enabling ultra-low 1.8V voltage operation. The new devices operate at 60MHz (54 Dhrystone MIPs) and offer high-performance, embedded Flash memory in 128-bit wide, zero wait-state Flash.
The LPC2114 and LPC2124 are available now in the LQFP64 package. Pricing in quantities of 10,000 is $5.40 for the LPC2114FBD64 and $6.30 for the LPC2124FBD64. The HVQFN64 in a 9mm x 9mm package will be available at the end of 2003.
