NXP Semiconductors N.V. introduced the LPC84x family, the latest addition to its LPC800 series of 32-bit ARM 30 MHz Cortex-M0+ based microcontrollers. The family, designed to balance power, performance and price, addresses the growing demand to simplify and speed development – enabling smarter next-generation designs to be cost- and power-efficient.
“This new family further extends LPC800’s unique innovative features over aging, proprietary 8-bit MCUs customers,” said Geoff Lees, SVP and GM of the microcontroller business at NXP.
Upon power-up, its fast access initialization memory (FAIM) allows the clocks of the LPC84x microcontroller to be started in a low frequency mode, keeping startup current consumption to a minimum. Within the LPC84x family, the LPC845 offers an additional flexible capacitive touch-sensing solution, which can operate in sleep and deep sleep modes, allowing for very low power performance.
The LPC845 solution has been designed to handle up to nine capacitive buttons in different sensor configurations, such as a slider, rotary or a button matrix. Evaluation kits and software packages available starting in Q3 2017.
