NXP Semiconductors recently announced the expansion of its LPC552x Microcontroller (MCU) family. With an enhanced working efficiency, the LPC5500 MCU series comes with some significant advantages for designers and developers.
The list of added benefits includes peripheral and pin-software compatibility. These new MCUs use the 40-nm NVM process technology to accelerate time to market, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of final products.
The LPC552x/S2x family is the star of LPC5500 series, it offers an optimum balance between performance, security, system integration, and efficiency for industrial IoT and general embedded devices.
The LPC5500 series family is a combination of high-performance efficacy of Cortex-M33 along with several high-speed interfaces, rich analogue integration, and an integrated power management IC.
