LPC804: 15 MHz Cortex M0+, 32kB flash, 4k RAM, 12-bit 2 us ADC with 1 LSB DNL, 10-bit DAC, the usual serial stuff, 20-TSSOP: 67 cents in reels, dev board $27. We're using it for a super-quiet diode laser controller where it will run the temperature control and automatic power control loops. I'll never use another ATmega. ;) Cheers Phil Hobbs -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC / Hobbs ElectroOptics Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics Briarcliff Manor NY 10510 http://electrooptical.net http://hobbs-eo.com
Nice MCU for small jobs

>STM has a similar cortex-m0 that does 48MHz for the same price at digikey>the dev board with debugger is something like ~$10I tried an ST Cortex M3 about five years ago, and the difference in library and tool quality was startling. I've stuck with NXP subsequently, with uniformly good results. If ST has cleaned up their act, I'd certainly be willing to have another go. Cheers Phil Hobbs

>Phil, >What is your preferred development software and debug environment? >JohnWe really like the Code Red tool chain and the LPCXpresso dev boards. Makes it super easy to get stuff working in a hurry. We'll try out the ex-Freescale Kinetis parts soon, just to see if their price/performance is enougb better to worry about. The LPC M4s are cheaper than their M3s, and have more interesting package options Cheers Phil Hobbs
