This board, which works with the groundbreaking mbed tool suite, lets you create a functioning

prototype faster than ever. The tightly coupled combination of hardware and software makes

it easy to explore designs quickly, so you can be more adventurous, more inventive, and more

productive.

The mbed NXP LPC1768 board lets you create prototypes

without having to work with low-level microcontroller details,

so you can experiment and iterate faster than ever.

Designers compose and compile embedded software using a

browser-based IDE, then download it quickly and easily,

using a simple drag-and-drop function, to the board’s

NXP Cortex-M3 microcontroller LPC1768.

Engineers new to embedded applications can use the board

to prototype real products incorporating microcontrollers,

while experienced engineers can use it to be more productive

in early stages of development. The mbed tools are designed

to let you try out new ideas quickly, in much the same way that

an architect uses a pencil and paper to sketch out concepts

before turning to an advanced CAD program to implement a

design.

Elegant simplicity The mbed tool has been designed for the best trade-off between versatility and immediate connectivity. The LPC1768, housed in an LQFP package, is mounted on the mbed board, which uses a 40-pin DIP with a 0.1-inch pitch. The convenient form factor works seamlessly with solderless breadboards, stripboards, and PCBs. The compiler uses the ARM RealView compile engine, so it produces clean, efficient code that can be used free-of-charge, even in production.

making it possible to migrate to other toolchains or implement custom code for peripheral interfaces. LPC176x microcontrollers The NXP microcontroller family LPC176x is a series of cost-effective, low-power Cortex-M3 devices that operate at up to 100 MHz. They feature best-in-class peripheral support, including Ethernet, USB 2.0 host/OTG/device, and CAN 2.0B. There are 512 KB of Flash memory and 64 KB of SRAM.
