The NXP LPC54100 Series of microcontrollers represents a
breakthrough in ultra-low-power performance for always-on
sensor processing. In an always-on application, the LPC54100
operates in a power-down mode while listening for sensor
data. In this low-power state, the LPC54100 only draws 3 µA of
current. When sensor data is available, either core can wake up
and acquire or process the data.

For active mode processing, developers can optimize
power efficiency and throughput by choosing between a
power-efficient 55 µA/MHz Cortex-M0+ core for sensor data
collection, aggregation, and external communications, and a
Cortex-M4F processor at 100 µA/MHz, which can complete
math-intensive algorithms, such as sensor fusion, more quickly
while saving power. A single core Cortex-M4F option is also
available for simpler sensor processing architectures or when
software partitioning is not required.
The LPCXpresso54102 board is available for purchase by
ordering OM13077.
An application-in-a-box Sensor Processing/Motion Solution
provides everything needed to bring sensor-based motion
and other sensor-processing applications to market quickly
(order# OM13078). The solution includes an LPC54102-based
LPCXpresso development board, a sensor shield board with
BTLE, and accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pressure,
proximity, temperature, humidity, light, and IR sensors.
Software includes LPC54100 software drivers, the LPC Sensor
Fusion Framework, and Bosch BSXLite Sensor Fusion (includes
development and commercial license).
LOW POWER ARCHITECTURE
The LPC54100 Series is architected for power efficiency.
In addition to the dual-core optimization, the low power
interfaces can wake the CPU from power down once data
is received. The 12-bit, 12-channel ADC delivers 4.8Msps
operation at full spec, including 1.62 V, which perform
conversion while the CPU is asleep.
A complete list of all available LPC54100 development tools
can be found at www.nxp.com/microcontrollers.
The low-power Flash is writable at 1.62 V. Core and peripheral
voltages are automatically scaled for reduced power consumption
at any frequency. An asynchronous peripheral bus enables
reduced peripheral clock speed without affecting the CPU clock,
which minimizes peripheral power consumption.
DEVELOPER ECOSYSTEM
For faster development, LPC54100 devices are available
with libraries for popular toolchains, including Keil MDK, IAR
EWARM, and the NXP LPCXpresso IDE, a cross-platform
C/C++ development suite that supports all of NXP’s LPC
microcontrollers.
Also for added convenience NXP offers the LPCXpresso54102
development board for rapid prototyping and evaluation.
