I talked a lot about NXP's newest Cortex-M33 platform microcontroller series: LPC5500, since the first product's launch 2 years ago, NXP has been proactively launching different product families within the series to fulfill customer needs. There is the LPC55S6x featuring dual-core 150MHz, PowerQuad calculation accelerator, and advanced security features. There is then the single core LPC552x, lower-cost LPC551x coming recently.
LPC550x/S0x
End of 2020, NXP brings another new member to the LPC5500 series, and further takes the LPC5500 into a new level of price point. The baseline LPC550x/S0x MCU family, with its lower cost options and smaller footprint, further expand the existing general-purpose LPC5500 MCU series. It's advanced security and safety integration offer applications an extra level of protection.
Offering excellent ecosystem advantages for developers, including pin-, software- and peripheral-compatibility in addition to a comprehensive portfolio of software and tools, the LPC550x/S0x MCU family helps accelerate time to market.
One spotlight here for this new product family is that aside from providing standard HTQFP64 package, NXP provides HVQFN48 package for the first time in LPC5500 series, which is ideal for size limited designs.
