Netherlands : New LPC Microcontroller Portfolio Expands Devices Rated up to 105°C [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NXP Semiconductors N.V. today announced the expansion of its portfolio of LPC microcontrollers rated for temperatures up to 105oC. Giving engineers wider choice when selecting entry-level microcontrollers, the new LPC11E6x family is designed for harsh operating conditions common in many industrial, lighting, and industrial automation applications. The new LPC11E6x family is available in three memory and package variations, including up to 256 kB Flash, 36 kB RAM and 4 kB EEPROM. Exceptional power efficiency is achieved through an ARM®Cortex-M0+ core and NXP s power profiles that allow various power saving options depending on the application demands. High-precision analog features include a best-in-class 2 Msps, 12-channel, 12-bit ADC, and ample connectivity is provided through I2C and SPI interfaces, USARTs, and up to 80 GPIOs. Also new to the LPC1100 Series, the LPC11E6x's two on-chip SCTimer/PWMs support advanced timing features. This unique block can operate like most traditional timers, and includes a state machine to give programmers a higher degree of timing control and programmability. It can be configured as multiple PWMs, a PWM with dead-time control, a PWM with reset capability, and many other functions that cannot be duplicated with traditional timers. In addition, the SCTimer/PWM Cookbook provides a collection of examples and usage notes to help programmers quickly implement popular timing functions for LPC11E6x applications. "Demand from our industrial customers for entry-level parts rated to 105oC has been growing steadily for the last few years," said Ross Bannatyne, general manager, mass market product line, NXP Semiconductors. "In addition to its temperature rating, EEPROM, and best-in-class analog, the LPC11E6x's powerful timing features give design engineers outstanding configurability and control for industrial applications." The LPC portfolio now includes 136 microcontrollers qualified for use at 105oC, including all LPC800, LPC1800, and LPC4300 devices. Many existing LPC1100 parts have also been re-qualified to 105oC, since originally released, including LPC11U6x, LPC11E6x, and LPC111x MCUs. LPC11E6x key features: ARM Cortex M0+ core, operating at frequencies up to 50 MHz, Up to 4 kB EEPROM, 256 kB Flash, and 36kB RAM, High-precision analog: two Msps, 12-channel, 12-bit ADC and temperature sensor, Timing subsystem: two SCTimer/PWMs, four multi-purpose timers, and real-time clock (RTC), Connectivity: two I2C interfaces, two SPI interfaces, up to 5 USARTs, up to 80 GPIO pins, A DMA controller, A CRC engine, ROM drivers for Power Profiles, Software- and tool-compatible with existing LPC11U/Exx and LPC134x parts. Availability Parts are available from NXP distributors worldwide with recommended distribution pricing in 10K quantities starting at US $2.03. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
