Three new NXP LPC Xpresso MCU family development boards speed design process

Farnell element14 has announced the addition of three new NXP development boards in the LPC Xpresso family to its extensive portfolio of technology products, which includes the biggest range of development kits available globally from one single source, says the company. The new LPC Xpresso V3 boards are part of an established and popular toolchain featuring the power of LPC microcontrollers based on ARMs Cortex-M cores. The boards are able to work with most existing LPC Xpresso accessories and Arduino compatible shields to enhance functional capabilities, offering more versatility for applications in motor control, power management, white goods, RFID readers, embedded audio applications, industrial automation and e-metering. David Shen, group chief technology officer, Premier Farnell, said, “We are excited to work with NXP to add these new Xpresso V3 boards to the highly popular LPC Xpresso ecosystem. With the built-in debug probe, PMOD and Arduino connectors as well as an additional row of expansion port pins, these boards offer a rich hardware and software experience for rapid prototyping of products based on the LPC8000 and LPC4300 dual-core microcontrollers.”
