NXP Semiconductors has announced the expansion of its portfolio in the ARM7 and ARM9 microcontroller space with the introduction of the LPC2900 series, which is based on the ARM968E-S processor and targets applications in industrial, medical, motor control and automotive industries.Features including dual CAN interfaces and two LIN masters, standard serial buses, plus a sophisticated PWM and two analog to digital converters (ADCs), make the LPC2900 suitable for high-performance and communication-heavy applications such as motor control, CAN gateways, PLCs and industrial networking.According to NXP, growth in 32-bit ARM technology-based microcontrollers is steadily outpacing the growth of other proprietary architectures. With this latest offering, NXP adds three ARM9 microcontrollers, the LPC2919, LPC2917 and LPC2915, to bring its portfolio to over 50 ARM technology-based MCUs. The NXP LPC2900 microcontroller series was displayed at September’s Embedded Systems Conference in Boston.www.nxp.com
