The LPC860 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ based cost effective MCUs are designed for Industrial and IoT applications. LPC860 operates at a frequency of up to 60 MHz and supports up to 64KB of flash memory and up to 8 KB SRAM. This family features a power-optimized core, small footprint in popular packages and level shifting options thanks to its separate power rails.

The peripheral complement of the LPC860 includes a CRC engine, I²C-bus interface, I3C-bus interface, up to three USARTs, two SPI interface, one multi-rate timer, self-wake-up timer, two FlexTimer with hardware dead-time insertion and quadrature decoding, one 12-bit ADC, one analog comparator, function-configurable I/O ports through a switch matrix, an input pattern match engine and up to 54 general-purpose I/O pins.

The LPC860 family are supported by the MCUXpresso ecosystem, which includes an SDK, a choice of IDEs, and secure provisioning and configuration tools to enable rapid development.

Arm Cortex-M0+ built-in nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC)
System tick timer
AHB multilayer matrix
Serial wire debug (SWD) with four break points and two watchpoints

Memory

64 kB Flash, small 64 B page size suitable for EEPROM emulation
8 kB RAM (Logic for Bit banding across all of SRAM)

Exceptional Power Efficiency in Low-current Mode Using the FRO as the Clock Source

Free running oscillator (FRO)
Four power modes
Power profile APIs for simple runtime power optimization

FAIM is Used to Configure the Part at Start-up

Pin configuration including direction and pull-up or pull-down
Clocks and PMU for low-power start-up

Full Range of Timing Features from Basic to Advanced

FlexTimer with a total of 10 channels. Hardware dead-time insertion and quadrature decoding for motor control
Multi-rate timer (MRT) for repetitive interrupt generation at up to four programmable, fixed rates
Self-wake-up timer (WKT) clocked from either Free Running Oscillator (FRO), a low-power, low-frequency internal oscillator or an external clock input
Windowed watchdog timer (WWDT)

Accurate 1.9-Msps ADC: 12 ch, 12-bit

Ideal for oversampling to improve conversion accuracy
Flexible triggers to optimize power use
