NXP Semiconductors expanded its LPC portfolio with the Flashless LPC540xx microcontroller (MCU) family. Designed to deliver power efficiency, this new family addresses the growing requirements of the connected smart world with advanced feature integration and security capabilities. Offering a dynamic range in performance, from very low frequencies to 180 MHz, consumer and industrial IoT applications can be optimised to complete complex tasks faster and efficiently with active currents as low as 100 µA/MHz.
Powered by the ARM Cortex-M4 core, the LPC540xx MCU family offers 360 KB of SRAM, unlimited memory extensibility with a quad SPI Flash interface with execution in place, along with feature rich integration including Ethernet control, HS USB with integrated physical transceiver, a TFT LCD controller and dual CAN FD controllers.
For security-optimised embedded design, with on-chip AES engine, embedded key storage, secure boot mechanism for root of trust, the LPC54S0xx devices offer developers mechanisms to authenticate a boot image, accelerate processing for data encryption or decryption, and advanced data integrity and protection.
LPC540xx and LPC54S0xx devices are supported by MCUXpresso, a cohesive set of development tools including a software development kit (SDK) and configuration tools, as well as complete integrated development environment support from IAR and ARM Keil, and NXP’s own Eclipse-based MCUXpresso IDE.
