Having the highest performance and the best selection of peripherals is only part of the value proposition of the LPC1700. The NXP LPC1700 series offers the best debugging and emulation available on any Cortex-M3 microcontroller. It offers two-pin Serial Wire Debugging (SWD) that was developed for the Cortex-M3 core, as well as the traditional five pin J-Tag connection that is part of the other ARM cores. NXP also offers the Embedded Trace Macro-Cell (ETM) interface that simplifies the debugging process by offering real time tracing capability with eight break points and four watch points. By offering the best debugging capabilities, NXP allows customers to produce working applications more quickly and easily.
