Cortex-M4

World's first dual-core DSCs

The LPC4300 series, the world’s first family of asymmetrical, dual-core digital signal controllers (DSCs), combine highperformance, low-power ARM Cortex-M4 and ARM Cortex-M0 cores with a unique set of configurable peripherals. They let you develop sophisticated DSP and MCU applications quickly, using one architecture and one development environment.

For added design flexibility, the LPC4300 series is pin-compatible with the Cortex-M3 LPC1800 series.

LPC4300: World’s first dual-core DSCs

LPC4300

In the LPC4300 series, the Cortex-M4 processor combines the benefits of a microcontroller with high-performance digital signal processing features such as single-cycle MAC, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) techniques, saturating arithmetic, and a floating point unit. The Cortex-M0 coprocessor off-loads many of the data movement and I/O handling duties that can drain the bandwidth of the Cortex-M4 core. The 256-bit-wide Flash memory architecture reduces power consumption, by minimizing fetches, and maximizes the performance of the core processor. The LPC4300 series is pin-forpin compatible with the LPC1800 Cortex-M3 series.
