NXP was awarded two EDN China 2011 Innovation Awards in the EDNC Innovation Award Ceremony in Shanghai on 1 December: NXP’s GreenChip SSL4101 was honored as the “best product” in power & analog award category, while LPC 1800 microcontroller was awarded the “leading product” of embedded system award category. Originated from Silicon Valley, the EDN China Innovation Awards was set up in 2005 aiming to recognize the most influential products and technologies in the industry every year. The awards are voted by industry engineers, experts, and readers, which makes the voting results representative of wider public opinion. At present, EDN Innovation Award is one of the most acknowledged industry awards in China to show recognition by design electronic engineers in China. Chen Rong, Senior PLS Lighting Product Marketing Manager in Greater China, joined the ceremony and accepted the award on behalf of NXP Semiconductors.

Based on NXP’s unique high voltage process, NXP’s GreenChip SSL4101 offers a professional-grade solution with levels of efficiency of up to 94 percent, which is enabling LED adoption into a wider-range of professional lighting applications such as high bay and low bay lighting found in warehouses and street lighting, where brightness and dependable illumination are essential. More advanced GreenChip Lighting solution could be found through NXP GreenChip Campaign website.

As industry‘s highest performance ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller, the LPC1800 sets a new performance benchmark for ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers. The LPC1800 is optimized for low power operation at very low frequencies all the way through to 150MHz maximum performance from either Flash or RAM. What makes the LPC1800 unique is NXP‘s innovation in reliable, high performance memory architecture and system peripherals.
