LPC29xx - Fastest ARM968 Flash MCUs

NXP Semiconductors announced the availability of the new LPC2900 series of microcontrollers based on the ARM968 core. At 125 MHz, the LPC2900 series are the fastest Flash ARM-based microcontrollers available on the market targeting industrial networking, alarm systems and motor control applications. Building on its existing LPC291x series, NXP offers seven new members with the LPC2900 microcontroller series, adding to the largest ARM Microcontroller portfolio in the market.

The LPC2900 series comes with an ARM968E-S industry standard RISC core operating at 125 MHz and provides high performance (1.1MIPS/MHz) with low power consumption. Additional features include full speed USB2.0 Host/On-The-Go/Device, dual CAN interfaces and two LIN masters, 16 KB true EEPROM, standard serial buses, plus a sophisticated PWM that make the LPC2900 series ideal for high-performance and communication-heavy applications. The family comes with up to 768 KB embedded flash memory and up to 120 KB SRAM.
