NXP Semiconductors introduced two new microcontrollers that allow developers to address late design changes to their system. The LPC11E37H and the LPC11U37H include an “I/O Handler” peripheral that offers designers the flexibility to add incremental peripheral functionality at any point during the design cycle. The I/O Handler peripheral can be easily configured to add I2S, I2C, UART, DMA and other functionality to the MCU with little impact on CPU performance. Each microcontroller features a low-power 50-MHz ARM® Cortex-M0 processor with up to 128 KB of flash, 12 KB of SRAM and 4 KB of EEPROM, with an additional Full-Speed USB device controller included on the LPC11U37H.
The I/O Handler is configured using pre-compiled libraries that can be downloaded from NXP’s LPCware software and support website and are available for no additional charge.
