How long will LPC2136 be in production? Also, are there any cortex M0 or M3 that have pin compatible with LPC2136?

My company has used LPC2136 in many products. Since it has been years that LPC2136 is in the market, we are concerning about its availability in the future. I've been looking roughly in NXP products website for newer devices that have pin compatible with LPC2136 but couldn't find one.

You can find the longevity status of any NXP product by visiting Product information > Product Longevity (just type longevity in the search box if you cant remember this). For LPC2136FBD64 you can a 15-yr longevity from August 2006.

Brendon Slade, thank you to point me out to the product longevity.

Could you also help me to find out the Cortext M0 or M3 that have pin compatible with LPC2136?

Hello Daniel,

I suggest to check the LPC17xx series, please check the below link:

LPC1700 Series: Scalable Mainstream Microcontrollers (MCUs) based on Arm® Cortex®-M3 Cores|NXP 

In addition, please check the application note AN10878, this application note introduces the important features of the LPC1700 series (Cortex-M3 based), and details the differences when compared to the LPC2000 family (ARM7 based). This application note will help enable users have a smooth migration process from the LPC2000 family to the LPC1700 series.

Have a great day,
Sol
