NXP Semiconductors, formerly Philips Semiconductors, is a designer and manufacturer of High Performance Mixed Signal and Standard Product solutions that take advantage of its RF, Analog, Power Management, Interface, Security and Digital Processing expertise. These innovations are used in a wide range of automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer and computing applications.

Embedded Processing

NXP's ARM product ranges include products based on ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4, and each of them is typically surrounded by a selection of peripherals which make that part or family particularly well suited to certain markets or application groups. An example of this is LPC1700 family, which includes a high performance PWM outputs for high precision motor control. ARM, and the upper Cortex architectures provide the well known combination of computational performance combined with low electrical power consumption, making them suited to portable or dockable devices. LPCXpresso is the tool which NXP provides for application development of it's ARM-based product ranges.

The 80C51-based families, those being the LPC900, LPC700 families take a somewhat similar approach. However, the processor core used in these devices executes binary code between two and six times faster than ‘standard’ 80C51 cores

Product Families

LPC Go

NXP’s LPC Go microcontrollers feature unprecedented performance, simplicity, and low power consumption. These devices, based on 32-bit ARM cores, are the most cost-effective options compared to 8/16-bit solutions and provide a dramatic reduction in code size for every application. They deliver lower system cost and less power consumption, in an elegant, easy-to-use format that improves time-to-market.

LPC Connect

NXP’s LPC Connect microcontrollers add point-to-point connectivity to LPC Go products. LPC Connect devices combine plug-and-play USB or CAN interfaces with software-integrated drivers in on-chip ROM, so it’s never been easier to add connectivity to your system. Get to market faster with a connected, efficient, and cost-effective system.
