NXP Semiconductors N.V. will extend the longevity of LPC1700 and LPC2000 microcontrollers (MCU) by an additional five years in response to the continued demand and broad market usage of these products.
More than a decade ago, NXP laid the foundation for today’s MCU market with the introduction of the industry’s first truly integrated flash MCU, based on ARM technology – the LPC2106. By combining the ARM7TDMI-S processor with on-chip FLASH, SRAM, general purpose peripherals in a low pin-count package, the LPC2106, followed quickly by LPC2138 and LPC2148 MCUs, set the stage for what eventually turned into hundreds of breakthrough MCU devices from NXP.
“NXP has maintained its leadership because we understand behind every embedded application are engineers that need a trusted supplier,” said Geoff Lees, SVP and GM of the Microcontroller Business Line at NXP, “Commitment to longevity, ongoing investment and local support is critical to this trust, which is why we are extending the longevity of two of the world’s most popular ARM-based MCU series.”
