NXP’s Microcontroller Business Reinforces Market Commitment with Extended Product Longevity of Key LPC Products
August 16 2016 - 2:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI), today announced it will
extend the longevity of LPC1700 and LPC2000 microcontrollers (MCU)
by an additional five years in response to the continued demand and
broad market usage of these products.
More than a decade ago, NXP laid the foundation for today’s MCU
market with the introduction of the industry’s first truly
integrated flash MCU, based on ARM® technology – the LPC2106. By
combining the ARM7TDMI-S processor with on-chip FLASH, SRAM,
general purpose peripherals in a low pin-count package, the
LPC2106, followed quickly by LPC2138 and LPC2148 MCUs, set the
stage for what eventually turned into hundreds of breakthrough MCU
devices from NXP.
“NXP has maintained its leadership because we understand behind
every embedded application are engineers that need a trusted
supplier,” said Geoff Lees, senior vice president and general
manager of the Microcontroller Business Line at NXP, “Commitment to
longevity, ongoing investment and local support is critical to this
trust, which is why we are extending the longevity of two of the
world’s most popular ARM-based MCU series.”
Building on our history of innovation – to include flash-less
MCUs that execute in place from external memory, expanding with ARM
Cortex®-M-based devices, and now providing integrated security,
protection, and a range of options including ultra-low power to
high performance – NXP has always found a way to differentiate its
products in market.
“We have long been a partner to NXP’s LPC microcontroller
portfolio,” said George Zhou, founder of Guangzhou ZLG MCU
Technology Co., Ltd. “We appreciate their commitment to longevity,
but it is their unwavering focus on breakthrough innovations that
reassures my company is aligned with the market leader.”
“We’re proud of our accomplishments thus far and this just sets
the stage for more to come,” said Lees. “Most exciting is our
unique scale – from microcontrollers to microprocessors – enabling
us to deliver the latest advances in ultra-low power process
technology and design. This is further strengthened by our
comprehensive software and solutions offering that help make up
NXP’s powerhouse portfolio, ensuring our customers are always in a
position to solve ever more challenging problems.”
