LPC2800 series debuts as industry's first ARM7 MCUs featuring single battery cell operation and 1MB of Flash
Royal Philips Electronics unveiled the LPC2800 series - the industry's most advanced ARM-based Hi-Speed USB microcontrollers on the market. The Philips LPC2800 is the first ARM7 MCU to deliver USB 2.0 device capabilities with maximum standard compliance and an on-chip Hi-Speed 480 Mbits/sec transceiver (PHY), and the first to enable single battery cell operation. These unique features allow embedded system design engineers to incorporate new capabilities into products such as PC peripherals, SD memory cards, smart card readers, and other USB battery-powered devices - all at a competitive price point.
The LPC2800 series from Philips integrates many other high-performance peripheral features that simplify system design, including 1MB of Flash and 8KB cache for efficient external memory operation; I2S channels with DMA for input/output of digital audio streams; and a sigma-delta 16-bit A/D converter with PGA for enhanced resolution. The advanced power management features of the LPC2800 allow operation from a single AA 1.5V battery cell, a USB cable, or an external power supply, maximizing battery life and design flexibility.
