LPC Cortex-M0 Microcontroller Lighting Solutions

June 15, 2012

Our LPC Microcontrollers make lighting control design easier and more cost-effective, providing low-power options without increasing costs.

Our LPC1100XL series is a compelling solution for DALI lighting systems, where total energy savings are a critical factor. For DMX networks, the LPC1100XL and LPC11U00 series offer the resources and performance required to support more sophisticated architectural and stage lighting projects. And for KNX nodes, our LPC1100 and LPC1200 series are perfectly suited for energy-efficient controls.

DALI - Offices and Dimmer applications

NXP is making it easy for lighting designers to upgrade from 8-bit microcontrollers without increasing costs. The extra-low-power options available with NXP microcontrollers make it a compelling solution for DALI lighting systems, where total energy savings are a critical factor.

The DALI evaluation systems feature the LPC1114 Cortex-M0 based microcontroller and can steer lighting drivers for solid state or compact fluorescent lighting applications.

DMX - Stage and Architectural lighting

In architectural and entertainment lighting, recent advances in LEDs have opened new opportunities for lighting control networks using DMX512. NXP's LPC Cortex-M0 family offers the resources and performance required to support sophisticated architectural and stage lighting projects and are perfectly suited to steering highly efficient RGB LED power stages while delivering tremendous value by supporting the ever-increasing complexity of lighting network nodes – without adding cost.

KNX - Home and Building control

The stability and flexibility of KNX make it a popular choice for intelligent wired home and building automation networks. NXP has partnered with WEINZIERL engineering to offer a highly optimized KNX stack for NXP’s LPC Cortex M0 family.

With this KNX solution, NXP has a fully certified platform to build new bus devices in an effective way for home and building automation, helping developers create cost-efficient KNX designs quickly, while taking advantage of our low active power consumption and powerful 32-bit architecture.
