I&#39;ve also got an LPC8<strong style="text-decoration:underline;">N</strong>04 but it seems that as NFC was added to the LPC804 the PLU was taken away.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=9191&AppID=27&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/internet-of-things/b/blog/posts/lpc551x-s1x-cortex-m33-based-mcu-with-new-levels-of-cost-and-performance-efficiencyTue, 28 Apr 2020 08:27:21 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:9197be21-aa22-4e65-bb19-318d48a95ac4Fred271<blockquote class="jive-quote">Follow us to get the latest information on a launch webinar coming in May</blockquote><p>I&#39;m guessing this has been cut and pasted from somewhere else.

It&#39;s a small bit of programmable logic attached to the main microcontroller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#39;s an interesting and fairly unique feature for a microcontroller. I don&#39;t feel it really overlaps with Xilinx&#39;s Zynq or Cypress&#39; PSoC.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=9191&AppID=27&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
