NXP Semiconductors announced the release of the LPC82x family of microcontrollers, dramatically extending the versatility of the ARM Cortex-M0+-based LPC800 Series for use in today’s highly connected, sensor-dense and IoT designs. With double the memory (over the LPC81x family), a new 1.2 Msps ADC, DMA, and triple the serial connectivity, the LPC82x family makes it easy for embedded developers to meet the growing requirements for a better, smarter user experience in their next-generation product designs — from connected thermostats, environment monitoring devices, home and building automation products, and lighting controls, to server and rack monitors, wearable health/fitness devices, toys, models, and more.
Versatile connectivity equips the LPC82x family to handle a wide range of microcontroller functions with exceptional power efficiency. As a sensor gateway, it efficiently connects to and concentrates data from multiple analog and/or digital sensors. For IoT connectivity, the LPC82x family is a space and power-efficient solution for local area or cloud connectivity via myriad wireless protocols such as NFC, Bluetooth® Smart (BTLE), ZigBee® or WiFi. For human machine interface (HMI) applications, the LPC82x family offers efficient sensor interface and data aggregation for capacitive or mechanical touch, swipe, and gesture front ends. It is also a space efficient solution for motor control applications such as fan control.
Key LPC82x Features
-Low-power (90 µA/MHz), 30 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core with advanced power optimization
-Memories: 32 kB Flash, 8 kB RAM
-Embedded ROM drivers
-18-ch DMA to offload core for better throughput and power efficiency
-Serial I/O: Up to 4 I2C, 2 SPI, 3 UARTs, and 29 GPIO pins
-1.2 Msps, 12 ch, 12-bit ADC
-Full range of timing features including SCTimer/PWM
-Switch matrix for flexible I/O pin configuration
-105 ⁰C temp rating

-Developer Ecosystem
-LPC82x is fully supported by the LPC developers’ ecosystem which provides an extensive collection of tools, drivers and middleware, as well as popular forums and blogs in constant use by a highly engaged and collaborative community of embedded developers. The NXP LPCXpresso development platform includes a full featured C/C++ IDE that is free to LPC82x developers, low-cost target boards with on-board debug probes and access to LPCOpen for firmware, drivers and middleware. LPCOpen incorporates device drivers, stacks, and graphics libraries that enable rapid code development and can be used with a wide range of third-party RTOSs, middleware solutions, and popular third-party ARM development tools including Keil and IAR. LPC82x is software- and tool-compatible with existing LPC81x parts.
