Quote: NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced the availability of new low-pin-count package options – SO20, TSSOP20, TSSOP28 and DIP28 – for its market-leading ARM® Cortex™-M0 LPC1100 family of microcontrollers. The new LPC111x devices are the world’s first 32-bit ARM microcontrollers in low-pin-count packages, and open the door for a broader range of applications previously closed to typical 32-bit MCUs due to package footprint or manufacturing constraints. Target applications include human interface devices (HID), consumer electronics, alarm systems, small appliances and simple motor control, among many others. Starting at $0.49, NXP’s low-pin-count devices deliver 50 MIPS of performance compared to the 1 to 5 MIPS performance typical of 8/16-bit MCUs, at a highly competitive price point enabled by NXP’s exceptional capacity in manufacturing high-volume commodity packages.
