The MCB900 is a comprehensive low-cost Starter System for the Philips P89LPC932 FLASH 8051 Microcontroller. The kit contains a featured-packed Evaluation Module fitted with a P89LPC932 microcontroller plus a special version of the µVISION2 8051 C development environment which only supports the Philips LPC devices. The IDE supports editing / compiling / simulating up to 4Kb of code (C + Assembler) for the LPC devices. A suite of suitable example programs are supplied with the software which can be compiled and then downloaded via ISP (In-System Programming) to the Target Device using the 'FLASH Magic' ISP software. Once a program is downloaded, the MCB900 can then be run without PC control and becomes a 'Standalone Microcontroller Module'.
This kit is designed for evaluating the Philips LPC family of microcontrollers. It encompasses the 8051 architecture plus the ability to write programs in C and download them to a real microcontroller mounted on a Target Board. This makes the Keil MCB900 kit ideal for low-budget high-specification designs and is therefore ideally suited to student projects. |

|
This product supports devices from the families listed below: |
|
NXP (Philips):
-
8051 LPC (Low Pin Count) Microcontroller Family
|
The MCB900 prototyping board uses the Philips P89LPC932 which is a superset of the Philips P89LPC920, P89LPC921, P89LPC922, P89LPC930 & P89LPC931 devices. You may create application programs for these devices by ignoring the extra features of the LPC932.
