The introduction of a new family of NXP microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M3 processor will be a major milestone in 2008. Our LPC2000 and LPC3000 microcontroller families are already extremely popular within the industry, and NXP will continue to offer our customers the broadest range of choice available when it comes to 32-bit MCUs,said Geoff Lees, vice president, microcontroller product line, NXP Semiconductors. The low-power Cortex-M3 processor, which combines high system performance with significantly reduced memory use, will enable NXP to continue our innovation in embedded Flash, and provide a strong option for designers looking to migrate from 8- and 16-bit to 32-bit microcontroller platforms.
