NXP Extends Fully Scalable USB Portfolio With LPC11U00 Cortex-M0 Series

USB solutions from low-cost Device to high-speed Host/OTG now span the completeNXP Cortex-M0/M3/M4, ARM7 and ARM9 series NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced itsLPC11U00 series – a low-cost ARM? Cortex?-M0 based microcontroller featuring a new, highly flexibleUSB architecture, as well as a smart card interface. Equipped with a highly configurable Full Speed USB2.0 device controller, the LPC11U00 brings unparalleled design flexibility and reliable USB connectivityfor consumer electronics and mobile devices. "The LPC11U00 series provides a compelling replacement for 8- and 16-bit USB microcontrollers, delivering robust USB performance at a sub-dollar price point. The highly flexible USB architecture we’reintroducing in the LPC11U00 is quite simply a better approach to USB,” said Geoff Lees, vice presidentand general manager, microcontroller product line, NXP Semiconductors. “NXP now offers the widestrange of ARM-based USB solutions, as well as easy-to-use software and integrated developmentplatforms that make NXP a one-stop shop for USB.” A Better Approach to USB The LPC11U00 enables maximum USB performance by providing up to 10 configurable physical endpoints with flexible user defined buffer architecture management, faster post-processing of USB data,and robust asynchronous USB operation. In contrast to typical USB implementations, endpoint buffers inthe LPC11U00 do not reside within the USB domain but reside in system SRAM space, giving the CPUdirect access to USB packets. Unused endpoint buffer space is not wasted and can be fully utilized byreallocating it as system SRAM. This feature is especially suited for protocol converters such as UART-to-USB and SPI-to-USB bridges where data needs to be quickly transferred between serial interfaces. With the LPC11U00 USB architecture, each non-control endpoint can be configured for either bulk, interrupt or isochronous, and can be double-buffered with maximum packet sizes of 1023 bytes. Further, the flexible clocking architecture supported by a dedicated USB PLL enables asynchronous USB operation, with the CPU and USB operating independently at maximum speeds. Designed for Small Form Factor Mobile and Consumer Applications As an extension of NXP's proven LPC1100 family, the LPC11U00 series delivers up to 32KB Flash, 6KBSRAM, a variety of serial interfaces, a smart card interface, 4 system timers with PWM functionality, 8channel 10-bit ADC and up to 40 GPIOs. The LPC11U00 series is offered in a miniature 4.5 x 4.5 mm TFGBGA48 package especially suited for small form factor mobile and consumer applications, in additionto several standard package offerings. Maximizing Connectivity While Minimizing Power Connectivity options on the LPC11U00 series include two Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) interfaces, I2Cwith Fast-mode Plus feature with 10x higher bus-drive capability, a Universal Synchronous-AsynchronousReceiver/Transmitter (USART), and a Smart Card interface. The Smart Card interface (ISO7816-3)provides a plug-and-play interface for smart cards, making the LPC11U00 a good fit for e-commerceapplications. To boost functionality, various design enhancements have been implemented on simple peripherals. Forexample, the General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) can now be configured as groups with interrupt capability onprogrammable patterns – a key requirement for applications driven by user input. The LPC11U00 seriesalso offers on-chip power profiles, driven by an Application Programming Interface (API) which can becustomized for any low-power application, so that designers can achieve ideal power levels with minimalapplication intervention. Freedom of Design Supported by an Extensive Ecosystem NXP's royalty-free, easily customizable USB driver software offers ready-to-use USB solutions minimizingtime-to-market and development costs. The LPC11U00 will offer USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF)certification, giving users the assurance and peace of mind that their designs comply with the USBspecification and are interoperable with existing USB solutions. The LPC11U00 will be supported by awide range of third-party development tools, as well as NXP’s LPCXpresso development platform featuring a powerful Eclipse-based IDE with an all-new intuitive NXP-designed user interface, optimized Cortex-M0 compiler and libraries. The LPC11U00 series delivers exceptional design freedom and allowssystem designers to take advantage of the scalability and compatibility of the NXP Cortex-M platform anddevelopment tools. Availability The LPC11U00 series offers three devices: LPC11U12 (16K Flash), LPC11U13 (24K Flash) and LPC11U14 (32K Flash). These devices are currently sampling to lead customers and will be available from distribution worldwide in May 2011. Additional family members offering higher memory and packageconfigurations will be available in the second half of the year.
