NXP Semiconductors LPC80x 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs

LPC802 & LPC804 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs are low-power, space-efficient, low pin count MCUs based on a 15MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core. NXP LPC802 and LPC804 MCUs support up to 32KB of flash memory and up to 4KB of SRAM.

LPC802 and LPC804 MCUs feature a power-optimized core, a small footprint in popular packages, and level-shifting options thanks to the separate power rails. The peripheral complements of the LPC802 and LPC804 MCUs include a CRC engine, I²C-bus interfaces, up to two USARTs, one SPI interface, and a capacitive touch interface (cap touch). Timer options include a multi-rate timer, a self-wake-up timer, and a general-purpose 32-bit counter/timer. The analog peripherals include a 12-bit ADC, an analog comparator, and on the LPC804, a 10-bit DAC. The LPC802 and LPC804 controllers also feature function-configurable I/O ports through a switch matrix, an input pattern match engine, programmable logic unit (PLU), and up to 30 general-purpose I/O pins.

These 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ core MCUs handle 32-bit data more efficiently than 8-bit processors, requiring less code, less memory, and 30% less dynamic power. The low pin count of the LPC802 and LPC804 allows designers to easily share system-critical pins and enable hand-soldering during assembly. Dedicated configurable memory ensures fast initialization at start-up, including pins, clocks, peripherals, and power management.

NXP LPC802 and LPC804 MCUs are supported by NXP's free sample example code bundles, as well as MCUXpresso Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and other popular toolchains, including IAR® and Arm Keil®. LPCXpresso Development Boards offer low-cost evaluation tools and flexible expansion options.

With a power-optimized core and small footprint in popular packages, the LPC80x is a cost-effective Arm Cortex-M0+-based 32-bit MCU ideal for entry level IoT applications.

NXP LPC802 and LPC804 Microcontrollers are offered in a 33-pin HVQFN and 16-pin, 20-pin, and 24-pin TSSOP packages.
