LPC1778 & LPC1788 32-bit Microcontrollers

NXP Semiconductors LPC1778 and LPC1788 32-bit Microcontrollers are Arm® Cortex®-M3 MCUs ideal for for embedded applications requiring a high level of integration and low power dissipation. The Arm Cortex-M3 CPU incorporates a 3-stage pipeline and has a Harvard architecture with separate local instruction and data buses, as well as a third bus with slightly lower performance for peripherals. The Arm Cortex-M3 CPU also includes an internal prefetch unit that supports speculative branches. The LPC1778 and LPC1788 MCUs add a specialized flash memory accelerator to accomplish optimal performance when executing code from flash. These devices operate at up to 120MHz CPU frequency.
