2sq" SMT PCB

Is this possible ???
Yes, this is possible for a bare minimum design like this.
I'm currently working on an lpc1754 design:
[LIST]
[*]lpc1754
[*]mini USB with ESD protection
[*]Power supply with 5V regulator (the application uses a rechargeable, customer supplied, battery) and 3.3V LDO
[*]12 MHz xtal and 32 kHz xtal for RTC
[*]128x64 transflective LCD (44x22 mm viewing area)
[*]3 high power LED regulators (for 1/3/10W LED)
[*]4 mosfet open drain PWM outputs (used for 1W LEDs that are only used as indicators)
[*]Micro-SD connector or 32 Mbit on-board SPI Flash
[*]optional 1kBit/8kBit I2C EEPROM
[/LIST]
I have been thinking of creating a stripped down version to start development:
[LIST]
[*]lpc1754
[*]3.3V regulator on board
[*]mini USB with ESD protection
[*]micro SD connector (to be used for semi-fixed internal micro-SD, hinge type connector, like a SIM card in a mobile phone - see attached picture)
[*]battery holder for CR2032 to supply RTC
[*]SMD pads for 24LC08 or similar style I2C EEPROM
[*]all I/O accesible through 0.1" holes for mounting pin headers.
[*]low profile design, total height ~7mm max.
[/LIST]
I think a price of € 25,- is a fair price for which I could sell these board.
Please do remember that there is no LPC-Link or ISP port on board, you need a separate 3.3V/5V uart or jtag programmer.
As already stated: the price of the LPCXpresso boards is a very nice price that is hard to beat (but then, the target side has a fairly minimalistic design)
