Austin, Texas – April 28, 2020 – NXP Semiconductors today announced the availability of its LPC551x/S1x microcontroller (MCU) family – further extending its performance-efficient LPC5500 MCU series.

The LPC551x/S1x MCU family offers developers low power consumption, embedded security, pin-, software- and peripheral-compatibility to accelerate time-to-market. The LPC551x/S1x family leverages ultra-efficient 40-nm flash technology for cost and performance benefits.

Key features include:

  • Over 600 EEMBC® CoreMarks® and as low as 32uA/MHz.
  • Up to 150 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M33 core.
  • Up to 256 KB on-chip flash; up to 96 KB SRAM.
  • CAN FD / CAN 2.0 with MCUXpresso-based software enablement.
  • Dual-USB with on-chip PHY, supporting both HS and FS modes.
  • SDIO and up to 9 FlexComm interfaces (configurable as either SPI/I2C/I2S,UART).
  • Advanced security enabled with MCUXpresso software and tools:
    • SRAM PUF based device root key with added application key storage options.
    • Secure boot and anti-rollback protection.
    • Arm TrustZone® technology for resource isolation.
    • Hardware block cipher (PRINCE) for encryption/decryption of internal flash.
    • Accelerators for symmetric and asymmetric cryptography.
    • Authenticated debug capabilities.
  • Available in HLQFP100, VFBGA98 and HTQFP64 packages.
  • LPC551x/S1x is fully supported by NXP's MCUXpresso suite of software and tools.
