Microcontroller recommendation

Nadia — Mon, 24 May 2021 10:38:24 GMT

Hi all, I would like to know any MCU that you recommend that is similar to the LPC54616J, I have been using that family but I would like to use another family with similar characteristics.

Thank you very much.

Perhaps you can explain what you need that is different to LPC54616J? (and what is wrong - from your point of view - with LPC54616? Do you want NXP or other vendor? DO you want Cortex-M4 or a different core? What peripherals do you need?

To add to converse's recommendation, some background of the intended project would be helpful.

Many commercial developments go for the cheapest MCU that does the job - literally.

Other, less mass-market focussed projects use to take platform compatibility and toolchain environment into account.

Hi @Nadia

There are several members of the LPC54000 series and they have different features. The below LPC brochure may be helpful to check them easily:

Similarly @converse and @frank_m , comments you could let us know if you require any particular feature, so we could provide you more pointers to migrate to another MCU series.
