What LPC stands for?

Internet doesn't say anything about it.

It goes something like this - as far as I know - but please correct me if I am wrong....

 

Many, many moons ago, in the 8051 days, "Koningklike Phillips Halfgeleiers" or "Royal Phillips Semiconductors" had some 8051 compatible chips that was named something like P89LPC9351....

 

First P was for Phillips

LP was for Low Power

C was for CMOS

thus LPC = Low Power CMOS

Suppose the LPC just stuck?

Hello  Waltraud Stein,

There is no special meaning, just stand for a kind of MCU from NXP.

About the detail description of LPC products, you can have a look at NXP website:
