NXP LPC800 ARM Cortex™-M0+ 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) are available in low pin-count packages and offer easy-to-use peripherals addressing 8-bit application requirements while providing the 32-bit capabilities and exceptional power efficiency of the ARM® Cortex-M0 processor. Based on an ultra-low-power 30-MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, LPC800 is fully compatible with the Cortex-M architecture and instruction set and offers superior code density to 8- / 16-bit architectures. The Cortex-M0+ features a two-stage pipeline that reduces power consumption while improving performance. LPC800 MCUs also take advantage of the Cortex-M0+ peripheral bus, allowing single-cycle access to the GPIOs. These features enable NXP LPC800 devices to offer deterministic, real-time performance – a key requirement for 8-bit developers.
LPC800 includes game-changing features, such as a switch matrix that enables designers to assign on-chip peripherals to any pin with a single line of code or a single click in the configuration tool. LPC800 serial peripherals are designed to be as lean as possible, making them more responsive and efficient. The new SPI can operate as a slave at frequencies independent of the processor clock, solving the common frustration of having to over-sample 4-to-n times the SPI just to receive data. This decoupling of the SPI and processor clock speed reduces power and simplifies the system design. The I²C has also been re-engineered to allow the LPC800 to lie and wait at near-zero power consumption, even without a system clock, and wake up upon an address match.
