ARM: MCB2300 Evaluation Board based on NXP LPC2300 MCUs

Kit Overview   The Keil MCB2300MCB2300 Evaluation Board introduces you to the NXP LPC2300 ARM family and allows you to create and test working programs for this advanced architecture. With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development.   The Keil MCB2300MCB2300 Evaluation Board have two serial interfaces, a speaker, analog input (via potentiometer), two CAN interfaces, LCD, USB, Ethernet, and eight LEDs make this board a great starting point for your next ARM project.   This board is available in two variants: the MCB2370MCB2370 and the MCB2388MCB2388. The supplied microcontroller is one of the difference between the MCB2370 and the MCB2388 boards. The MCB2370 is populated with the LPC2378LPC2378 microcontroller, while the MCB2388 is populated with the LPC2388LPC2388 microcontroller. Additionally, the MCB2388 boards contain additional connectors for USB-OTG support.   Ordering information:   Part Number Description MCB2370MCB2370 MCB2370 Evaluation Board based on LPC2378 MCB2370UMEMCB2370UME MCB2370 Evaluation Board and ULINK-ME Debug Adapter MCB2388MCB2388 MCB2388 Evaluation Board based on LPC2388 MCB2388UMEMCB2388UME MCB2388 Evaluation Board and ULINK-ME Debug Adapter   Key Applications: Communication gateways, Protocol converters, Industrial control, Medical systems

Kit Features

• LPC2300 MCUs
  • 58KB On-chip RAM (for MCB2370MCB2370)
  • 98KB On-chip RAM (for MCB2388MCB2388)
  • 512KB On-chip FLASH
• USB 2.0 Full Speed Interface
  • Standard USB connectors for USB Device, USB-OTG, USB Host and UART via USB on the MCB2300MCB2300 board for applications requiring USB communications.
• Dual Serial Ports
  • Standard DB9 connectors are on the MCB2300MCB2300 for both of the LPC2300's serial ports. Your application may use either of these ports.
• Dual CAN Ports
  • Standard DB9 connectors are on the MCB2300MCB2300 board for applications requiring CAN communications. Your application may use either or both of these ports, or they may be disabled with a configuration jumper.
• 100/10M Ethernet Port
  • A standard RJ45 connector on the MCB2300MCB2300 board connects to an on-board Ethernet transceiver for applications requiring Ethernet communications.
• LCD Display
  • A 2-line by 16-character, 8-bit LCD display. You may use this text display device to show real-time debug and program status messages.
• LF Amplifier
  • An LF Amplifier on the MCB2300MCB2300 connects the D/A output of the LPC2300 device to a speaker. You may use this LF Amplifier to generate sound.
• Analog Voltage Control for ADC Input
  • An adjustable analog voltage source is on the MCB2300MCB2300 board for testing the Analog to Digital output feature of the LPC2300. A configuration jumper enables and disables this feature.
• JTAG Download and Debug
  • A JTAG interface is on the MCB2300MCB2300 board and, coupled with the ULINK USB-JTAG adapter, allows flash programming. The on-chip debug interface can perform real-time in-circuit emulation of the LPC2300 device. For fast PC communication, use your PC's USB port.
