Microcontroller scales the peaks of performance

The LPC3180 is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as point-of-sale equipment, medical and industrial devices, global positioning systems, robotics, servo loops and network control.

The Philips LPC3180, which uses the proven ARM926EJ-S core, runs at up to 208MHz from a 32kHz crystal and offers a vector floating point processor, full-speed USB2.0 On-The-Go, low-power operation, an on-chip memory management unit and much more.

Flexible power management in the Philips LPC3180 allows high peak performance, especially for floating-point calculations, and allows shutting down the core power domain while retaining real-time clock and wake-up functionality.

The hardware floating-point coprocessor speeds up typical calculations by a factor of four to five in scalar mode and much more in optimised vector mode.

Available from Silica, the LPC3180 is the first ARM9 MCU to offer USB On-The-Go (OTG) integrated.

The large array of peripherals available on-chip also include seven UARTs, SPI, I2C, a real-time clock with a separate power domain, NAND Flash and DDR memory controllers.

The LPC3180 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, such as point-of-sale equipment, medical and industrial devices, global positioning systems, robotics, servo loops, network control and many more.
