NXP has high-speed microcontrollers

NXP Semiconductors has announced the availability of its LPC292x series of microcontrollers.

At 125MHz, the LPC292x series are very fast ARM968 microcontrollers, which are targeted towards industrial networking, alarm systems and motor control applications.

Building on its existing LPC291x series, NXP offers seven new members with the LPC292x microcontroller series.

As well as offering customers high operating speeds, the LPC292x series also includes several features that are not available on any ARM968 MCU.

These features include: USB Host/On-the-Go/Device; 16KB EEPROM; 5V ADC; UARTs with RS485 and LIN support; Quadrature Encoder Interface; and Motor Control PWMs.

The LPC292x series comes with an ARM968E-S industry standard RISC core operating at 125MHz and combines high performance (1.1MIPS/MHz) with low power consumption.

Additional features include dual-CAN interfaces, two LIN masters and two 3V analogue-to-digital converters.

The range comes with up to 768KB embedded flash memory, 48KB RAM and 2x32KB Tightly Coupled Memories (TCM).
