LPC

8-bit Microcontroller


NEC’s K Series family has been expanded to include low pin-count options with packages available from just 16 pins

  Utilises advanced SST flash memory
  • Single voltage flash for simpler design
  • Self programming for easy in-field upgradeability
  • Low power consumption for enhanced battery life
  • Small sector sizes allow efficient EEPROM emulation & in-application programming
  • Multi-level flash security
    • prevents code read-out
    • prevents accidental erasing of memory
  • Error Correction Code (ECC) safeguards against code corruption during programming

Wide variety of memory sizes

  • Flash memory for maximum flexibility
  • 1Kb, 2Kb, 4Kb or 8Kb for optimum price/performance
  • 128 bytes to 256 bytes RAM

Highly scalable

  • Upgrade to more memory or cost reduce with the same core features
  • Peripherals & I/O capability increase with pin count
  • Compatible upgrade path to higher performance 78K0 K-Line devices

High-speed 10-bit ADCs

  • Cost optimised variants with no ADC also available
  • Class leading performance

On-Chip 8 MHz Oscillator

  • Reduces EMI
  • Frees up two GP I/Os
  • Faster start up from power-on

The World's Smallest Microcontroller

  • 16-pin device available in super-small 1.9mm x 2.2mm package

High quality hardware & software tools

  • Fully supported by IAR Embedded Workbench
  • Low-cost on-chip MINICUBE debug tool
  • ‘LPC DO-IT’ starter kit for immediate development
 
All the above features plus in-circuit & in-application programming and debugging capability!
