NXP Introduces Longevity Program for ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers

March 27, 2012 -- NXP Semiconductors has launched a Product Longevity Program for its ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers with a minimum available period of 10 years. This program assures continuity and stability of supply for NXP customers, especially those that design industrial-control applications and require long-term product availability.

The first microcontrollers in this Product Longevity Program are from NXP's Cortex-M0 family:

LPC1100XL, NXP's lowest-current MCU with 110µA/MHz. LPC1100L in low-pin-count SO, TSSOP and DIP packages. LPC11U00, the first USB Cortex-M0 with integrated ROM drivers. LPC11C00 with on-chip CAN transceiver. LPC11E00 with integrated 4-kByte EEPROM.
