Based on the highly energy-efficient Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core and operating at CPU frequencies of up to 100 MHz, NXP’s 32-bit LPC51U68 microcontrollers for embedded applications feature larger memory resources including 96 KB of on-chip SRAM and 256 KB of on-chip Flash programming memory with Flash accelerator.

NXP’s LPC51U68 MCUs features added performance, expanded memory resources and flexible serial port configuration, including USB connectivity, bringing unparalleled design flexibility, computing performance and integration into the demanding IoT and industrial applications. In addition, this MCU is pin-compatible with the LPC5411x and LPC5410x MCU families providing scalability options to Arm Cortex-M4 cores.

Additionally, the LPCXpresso^TM family of boards provides a powerful and flexible development system for NXP's Cortex-M family of MCUs. The LPCXpresso51U68 board has been developed by NXP to enable evaluation of prototyping with the LPC51U68 MCU leveraging the power-efficiency of the Cortex-M0+ core and extensive connectivity capabilities provided by the device. The board also features an onboard, high-speed USB debug probe, which can support CMSIS-DAP or SEGGER J-Link compatible debug probes.
