While it might be getting a little long in the tooth, with fairly high power consumption and small RAM compared to its modern competitors, it's still a capable chip with a large array of peripherals. Not to mention, it has a significant base of educational users who rely on the Mbed LPC1768 dev board for their courses and projects. Here's hoping we can keep this venerable chip supported for a long time coming! -_Note: Confusingly, the LPC1768 MCU's dev board is also called the LPC1768. This seems to be an early naming standard that was later dropped. On this page I'll say "the dev board" when I specifically mean the LPC1768 PCB; otherwise I mean the microcontroller itself._ +_Note: Confusingly, the Mbed LPC1768 dev board is also called the LPC1768.

This board is similar to the Mbed LPC1768 in terms of features (includes an Ethernet PHY and a debug interface onboard), and it even has a compatible pin layout. ## Feature Overview | CPU | Flash/Code Memory | RAM | Communication Peripherals | Other Features | |---|---|---|---|---| -| Cortex-M3, up to 100MHz
(clocked at 96MHz on the dev board) | 512 kiB| **Total:** 32 kiB (SRAM) + 32 kiB (AHBSRAM)
