Royal Philips Electronics (the Netherlands) announced its new LPC935 microcontroller, which features two analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The LPC935 is the flagship chip of nine new microcontrollers in the LPC900 family designed for a variety of consumer devices from coffeemakers and washing machines to intelligent toys. Used in such applications, the LPC935 enables the ADC and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversions between the analog and digital computing worlds.
The LPC935 can simultaneously convert and read data in two channels. The LPC935 converts signals in less than 4 µsec. With fewer external components required and a small footprint for compact integration, each of the new LPC900 family microcontrollers - the LPC904, LPC915/6/7, LPC924/5 and LPC933/4/5 - allows the flexibility to select ADC conversion or high-speed DAC output. By offering ADC/DAC functionality, customers will no longer need to use separate ADC or DAC on their printed circuit boards that are already integrated into the LPC900 family.
All of the new devices are available now with pricing in quantities of 10,000 of $0.66 to $0.88 for the LPC90x, $0.83 to $1.17 for the LPC91x, $1.10 to $1.60 for the LPC92x, and $1.27 to $1.87 for the LPC93x.
