New MCUs support complex algorithms in data-intensive applications

Available now from Farnell element14, NXP's LPC4300 Series microcontrollers offer the high performance and flexibility of an asymmetric dual-core architecture (ARM Cortex-M4F and Cortex-M0 coprocessor) in combination with multiple high-speed connectivity options, advanced timers, analogue and optional security features. All LPC43xx families have DSP capabilities, enabling them to support complex algorithms in data-intensive applications. They are available as Flash and Flashless options to support large, flexible internal and external memory configurations. They also feature pin-and-software compatibility with LPC1800 Series MCUs, enabling LPC43xx MCUs to provide a seamless migration path for increasing processing power and adding the flexibility of partitioning application tasks across cores. This combination of features and benefits makes the LPC4300 Series MCUs ideal solutions for smart meters; embedded audio; industrial automation and control, telematics, white goods, electronic instruments, power management; point-of sale devices; medical and fitness devices, diagnostic equipment; secure connected gateways, secure communication hubs; automotive aftermarket, including telematics; data collectors and navigation, says the company.
