Hi LPC fans

NXP has made a new announcement about some more chips that will be available shortly. LPC3200 family of microcontrollers will be sampling in April with volume shipping in Q3 2008. Demos will be available at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in San Jose April 14-18, 2008.

Designed for flexibility in applications that require fast, simultaneous communications, the LPC3200 combines high-performance, low power consumption and a myriad of peripherals. The features include I2C, I2S, SPI, SSP, UARTs, USB, OTG, SD, PWMs, A/D with touch-screen interfaces, 10/100 Ethernet MAC and a 24-bit LCD controller that supports STN and TFT panels.

LPC2478 was recently nominated as the EDN Innovation Product of Year finalist in 2007.

In my book it should be nominated "Most over-hyped, delayed, bug-ridden device of 2006, 2007, and 2008".
