Royal Philips Electronics has released what it says is the semiconductor industry's first 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S processor core microcontrollers on a 0,18 mm CMOS embedded Flash process. This process enables low 1,8 V voltage operation and very high embedded Flash performance, which is well suited to realtime applications such as automotive, medical, networking, Internet connectivity, and battery-powered consumer products.

Targeting 16/32-bit microcontroller designs, the LPC2100 family (48-pin Chip Scale Package) offers Philips customers a smooth low-cost migration path from 8-bit and 16- bit to 32-bit microcontrollers.

Optimised for both high performance and low power, the LPC2100 family operates at 60 MHz (54 Dhrystone MIPs) and features 128-bit wide zero wait-state Flash, unlike competing solutions whose performance is limited due to multiple wait-state Flash. This zero wait-state Flash performance is ideal for realtime embedded applications. Philips chose the ARM7TDMI-S core with realtime monitor and realtime trace as the heart of the new device to allow customers to take advantage of broad industry support for the core with currently available software applications and tools from third-party vendors.

The LPC2100 microcontroller family is based on a common system architecture approach with the same memory map, vectored interrupt controller, Flash programming and updating mechanism, peripheral complement, and debugging and emulation facilities common to all ARM family members.

The LPC2104, LPC2105, and LPC2106 will feature 16 to 64 KB of SRAM. The LPC2100 family is supported by tools and development support environments provided by tool partners including ARM, Ashling, Hitex, Keil Software, Nohau and Phytec.
