Looking for more 32-bit options? … Start here

NXP offers more in ARM: more products, more interfaces, more design tools, more know-how.

More and more designers are choosing 32-bit ARM microcontrollers (MCUs) for their designs – allowing them to add functionality, enable anywhere / anytime connectivity save power and extend battery life.

NXP offers the industry's broadest range of ARM-based 32-bit MCUs and integrates vital technologies – including USB, LCD, Ethernet and motor control – that enhance embedded applications of all kinds.

If you are looking to experience more 32-bit MCU options, this is the place to start..

The widest choice of USB options

Our 32-bit ARM microcontrollers offer you all the latest USB technologies, including full- and high-speed USB 2.0 device, host and On-The-Go (OTG) functions. They support all four transfer types – control, interrupt, bulk and, especially, isochronous, which is required for streaming audio. You can also choose special features you won't find anywhere else, such as dedicated DMA, SoftConnect and GoodLink, integrated transceivers and multiple ports.

In addition to our own complimentary USB packages, NXP partners with leading software companies to provide state-of-the-art USB firmware.

Unique low-cost LCD integration

Take your pick from the most advanced LCD-based 32-bit microcontrollers available today, with features that enhance performance while saving power. You get high bandwidth and constant refreshes, with less CPU involvement and better power efficiency. There's even an integrated touch screen interface, making it easy for you to add touch capabilities. Plus, as our ARM families use the same LCD architecture, you can reuse existing circuitry when moving your system to a next-generation ARM.

The highest bandwidth Ethernet

Look no further for your 32-bit Ethernet devices. Giving you peak performance – even when used in combination with USB – our full-featured 10/100 Ethernet MAC block improves throughput by using DMA hardware acceleration. Our solutions offer you all the functions specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard, as well as several added features that enhance efficiency. Additionally, software tools make your Ethernet design-in even easier, reducing the time it takes to implement complex protocols.

Motor control with performance to spare

Take advantage of today's smaller, more efficient motors with our 32-bit ARM microcontrollers with integrated features for motor control. They all provide basic control of universal, brushed DC and other single-phase motors, while for more complex requirements we offer sophisticated functions with processing performance to spare. And, because many functions require less than 1% of CPU load, you can create a system that does more while using less power.
