EDN, February, 2005 by Cravotta, Robert

The 3X3X0.85-mm LPC9102 and LPC9103 processors are the newest members of Philips Electronics' 8-bit LPC900 microcontroller family. These tiny 80C51-based devices target space-constrained applications and include an internal 7.3728-MHz; a 1%-accurate RC oscillator; brownout-detection and power-on-reset circuits; a four-input, 8-bit ADC that you can configure as a single-output DAC; an analog comparator with selectable reference; two 16-bit timers; a real-time clock; and a UART. They include 128 bytes of RAM data memory and 1 kbyte of flash program memory that is organized into 256-byte sectors and 16-byte pages and that supports single-byte erasing. The LPC-9102 and LPC9103 have a voltage range supporting operation from 2.4 to 3.6V.
